Abstract
The vast majority of India's population lives in areas that are directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture, making it an agricultural nation. Agriculture in India is noted for its wide range of products. Agriculture still has a considerable contribution to GDP, but it was only 15% in 1950-51 when it was at its peak. Former USAID director William Gaud coined the phrase "Green Revolution" in 1968. Agriculture operations were made more efficient as a result of the Green revolution in order to enhance crop yields and assist emerging nations meet the requirements of their rapidly expanding populations. M.S. Swaminathan, a geneticist who is today recognised as the "father of the Green Revolution," helped establish the movement in 1965 in India. One of the world's major agricultural countries was created as a result of the movement of the green revolution, which was a huge success. It lasted from 1967 until 1978. Technology, such as high-yielding cereal crops, irrigation development, and distribution of hybrid seeds, synthetic fertilisers, and pesticides, was introduced in the 1960s to transform agriculture in India into a sophisticated industrial system that relied on technology.
