Green Revolution has made India self-sufficient in food grains. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India, officially recorded the impressive strides of the Green Revolution in agriculture by releasing special stamp entitled ‘Wheat Revolution, in July 1968. The success of wheat was later replicated in rice. The Green Revolution made India self-sufficient in the following ways :
(i) Food production in Punjab and Haryana increased from 7.23 million tonnes in 194-65
to an all-time high of 30.33 million tonnes in 1995-96.
(ii) A variety of crops were grown all over the country.
(iii) The availability of food grains, even in adverse weather conditions or otherwise has been further ensured by food security system. There was no need to import food grains from other countries because India had sufficient buffer stock to meet any situation.
The states of Uttar Pradesh (eastern and southern-eastern parts), Bihar, Jharkhand. Orissa, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, parts of Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra are more food insecure in India.

(iii) The Constitution prohibits discrimination on the grounds of religion.
(iv) The Constitution allows the state to intervene in the matters of religion in order to ensure equality within religious communities. For example, it bans untouchability. The state could also help religious communities by giving aid to educational institutions run by them. Thus, in India secularism is not just an ideology of some parties or persons. This idea constitutes one of the foundations of our country.
