Read Explanation:

M. S. Swaminathan, an Indian geneticist and agricultural scientist, is widely recognized as the "Father of the Green Revolution in India" for his pivotal role in developing and introducing high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice. M.S. Swaminathan (born August 7, 1925, Kumbakonam, Tamil Nadu, India—died September 28, 2023, Chennai, Tamil Nadu) was an Indian geneticist and agricultural scientist who spearheaded India’s agricultural transformation. Known as the “father of the green revolution” in India, he collaborated with American scientist Norman Borlaug in the 1960s to introduce high-yielding varieties of wheat in India. His efforts did not just boost yields—they also lifted many farmers out of poverty and ushered in modern farming. He firmly believed that India’s prosperity was rooted in its farmlands and farmers.
