Supported by a cadre of dedicated scientists and then finance minister Chidambaram Subramaniam, he steered a revolutionary transformation of the agricultural landscape. This historic endeavor set India on a path towards self-sufficiency and prosperity, marking a pivotal chapter in the nation's journey.
