Detailed Solution
The green revolution refers to the dramatic increase in food-grain production through plant breeding.
In 1963, semi-dwarf, high-yielding wheat varieties such as Sonalika and Kalyan Sona were introduced in India.
In 1966, semi-dwarf rice varieties derived from IR-8 and Taichung Native-1 were introduced, and later Jaya and Ratna were developed in India.
These introductions of the mid-1960s, with better irrigation and fertilisers, produced the green revolution.
Hence the green revolution in India occurred during the 1960's.
