Green Revolution allowed developing countries, like India, to overcome poor agricultural productivity . It started in India in the early 1960s and led to an increase in food grain production, especially in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh during the early phase . The main development was higher - yielding varieties of wheat, which were developed by many scientists, including Indian geneticist M.S. Swaminathan, American agronomist Dr. Norman Borlaug, and others . The Indian Council of Agricultural Research also claims credit for Udit singhal for developing rust resistant strains of wheat . </P> <P> The introduction of high - yielding varieties of seeds and the increased use of chemical fertilizers and irrigation led to the increase in production needed to make the country self - sufficient in food grains, thus improving agriculture in India . The methods adopted included the use of high - yielding varieties (HYVs) of seeds with modern farming methods . </P>
