Go Green Grow..!!

"Indian agriculture
is at the crossroads.
Our population
may reach 1750
million by 2050.
Food grain
production must
be doubled and
the area under
irrigation should
go up."

- M.S.Swaminathan,the key player of 'green' revolution
(Yojana magazine,JAN 2010)

He made the following remarks on 'wheat miracle' :

“Brimming with enthusiasm,
hard-working, skilled and
determined, the Punjab farmer
has been the backbone of the
revolution. Revolutions are usually
associated with the young, but in
this revolution, age has been no
obstacle to participation. Farmers,
young and old, educated and
uneducated, have easily taken to
the new agronomy. It has been
heart-warming to see young college
graduates, retired officials, ex-army
men, illiterate peasants and small
farmers queuing up to get the
new seeds. At least in the Punjab,
the divorce between intellect and
labour, which has been the bane of
our agriculture is vanishing”
