Significant and continuous rise in agricultural production with the use of fertilizers, HYV seeds and irrigation facilities is known as Green Revolution.

At the time of independence, about 75% of the country's population were dependent on agriculture. The productivity in agricultural sector was very low because of the use of old technology and absence of the required infrastructure for the majority of the farmers.

The spread of green revolution technology enabled India to achieve self-sufficiency in food grains. It helped in improving the living standard of farmers. Also, it helped in creating marketable surplus of food grains, especially wheat and rice.
