Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Released a special stamp titled 'Wheat Revolution’.
To celebrate the success of the Green Revolution in agriculture, the Indian government issued a commemorative stamp titled 'Wheat Revolution' in 1968.
It was released by Indira Gandhi.
This initiative highlighted the significant increase in wheat production due to high-yielding varieties, irrigation, and chemical fertilizers.
The Green Revolution, led by scientists like Dr. M.S. Swaminathan, transformed India from a food-deficient nation into a self-sufficient one. While other measures like farmer support and food distribution were part of broader policies, the stamp was a symbolic gesture to honor this agricultural milestone.
