MS Swaminathan, Father Of India's Green Revolution, Dies At 98 | Vantage with Palki Sharma

M.S. Swaminathan, father of India's green revolution, has died at 98. He completely changed India's agricultural landscape.

Swaminathan's formidable career in crop science spanned across 7 decades. In the early 1960s, India's wheat production was languishing.

Today, India is one of the world's largest & most diversified food producers. Much of this is thanks to Swaminathan.

How did he achieve the massive feat? What is his story?

Palki Sharma takes you though his journey.

And this is what every country should do the u s shouldn't have to take care of Everybody anymore. We need to turn our eyes back on ourselves. get rid of the barnicles in the halls of our house. Instead of those wandering on january sixth we should take 1/2 of the house/senate reps and put them in jail. And just like january sixth it doesn't matter who just a bunch of people to make an example
