The Green Revolution of the late 1960s was a focused policy intervention introducing high-yielding variety seeds, irrigation, and fertilizers to achieve food grain self-sufficiency. Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh benefited most due to existing irrigation infrastructure. The resultant surplus allowed the Food Corporation of India to create buffer stocks, insulating the nation from shortages. From my desk, I see how centralized procurement for these stocks often sidelines the water-stressed regions like Tamil Nadu, which feeds the nation through textile exports instead of wheat.
