Foodgrains: Pratibha calls for another green revolution

After making clear that India will not tolerate any misadventure at her borders President Pratibha Patil today stressed upon the need of starting another green revolution in the country in the backdrop of the increasing gap between the demand and supply of foodgrains. Addressing the second convocation of the Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST), Jammu, the President recalled India's first green revolution in 1960, when the country's import had reached to an alarming proportion.
