The Father of the Indian Green Revolution guided our nation towards  tone-  adequacy and  tone- confidence. He did everything with the  planter at heart — as a true Kisan Vaigyanik   A many days ago we lost Professor M S Swaminathan. 

Our nation lost a visionary who revolutionised agrarian  wisdom, a stalwart whose  donation to India will always be etched in golden letters. Professor Swaminathan loved India and wanted our nation and our  growers, in particular — to lead a life of substance.   Academically brilliant, he could have chosen any career but he was so impacted by the Bengal  shortage of 1943 that he was clear that, if there was one thing he’d do, it would be to study  husbandry.  At a  fairly  youthful age, he came in contact with Dr Norman Borlaug and followed his work in great detail.

 In the 1950s, he was offered a faculty position in the US but he rejected it because he wanted to work in India and for India.   I want you all to  suppose about the  grueling  circumstances in which he stood as a  giant, guiding our nation towards the path of  tone-  adequacy and  tone- confidence. In the first two decades after Independence, we were dealing with immense challenges — one of them was food  dearths. In the early 1960s, India was  scuffling with the  portentous  murk of  shortage and it was  also that Professor Swaminathan’s unyielding commitment and foresight  steered a new  period of agrarian substance.  

 His pioneering work in  husbandry and specific sectors like wheat  parentage led to a significant increase in  product, turning India from a food-deficient country into a  tone- sufficient nation. This tremendous achievement earned him the  well-conditioned  justified title of the ‘ Father of the Indian Green Revolution ’.   My  particular  relations with Professor Swaminathan were  expansive. They began after I took over as Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001. 

During those days, Gujarat wasn’t known for its agrarian prowess. consecutive  famines, a super cyclone and an earthquake had impacted the growth line of the state. Among the  numerous  enterprise we launched was the Soil Health Card, which enabled us to understand the soil more and address problems if they arose.   It was in the  environment of this scheme that I met Professor Swaminathan. He appreciated the scheme and also participated his  precious inputs for it. 

His countersign was enough to  move those who were sceptical about the scheme which would  ultimately set the stage for Gujarat’s agrarian success.   The Kural describes  growers as the leg that holds the world together, because it’s the  growers who sustain everyone. Professor Swaminathan understood this principle  veritably well. A lot of people call him a “ Krishi Vaigyanik ” — an Agrarian Scientist. But I’ve always believed that he was indeed more. He was a true “ Kisan Vaigyanik ” — a Farmers ’ Scientist. In his heart there was a  planter. 

The success of his  workshop isn’t  confined to their academic excellence; it lies in the impact they’ve had outside the laboratories, in the  granges and the fields.   His work narrowed the gap between scientific knowledge and its practical  operation. He  constantly  supported for sustainable  husbandry, emphasising the delicate balance between  mortal advancement and ecological sustainability. Then, I must also note Professor Swaminathan’s special emphasis on  perfecting the lives of small  growers and  icing they also enjoy the fruits of  invention. He was particularly passionate about  perfecting the lives of women  growers.  

 There’s another aspect about Professor Swaminathan which is remarkable he stands altitudinous as a  eidolon of  invention and mentorship. When he won the World Food Prize in 1987, the first philanthropist of this prestigious honour, he used the prize  plutocrat to establish a not- for- profit  exploration foundation.   Till date, it undertakes  expansive work across  colorful sectors. He has nurtured  innumerous minds, breeding in them a passion for  literacy and  invention. In a  fleetly changing world, his life reminds us of the enduring power of knowledge, mentorship, and  invention. He was an institution builder as well, having to his credit  numerous centres where vibrant  exploration takes place. One of his stints was as Director, International Rice Research Institute, Manila.  

 The South Asia Regional Centre of the International Rice Research Institute was opened in Varanasi in 2018.  I’ll again cite the Kural to pay  paeans to Dr Swaminathan. It’s written there, “ If those who have planned have firmness, they will attain what they’ve asked  the way they’ve asked . ” Then was a stalwart who decided beforehand on in his life that he wanted to strengthen  husbandry and serve  growers. And, he did it exceptionally innovatively and passionately.   Dr Swaminathan’s  benefactions continue to inspire and guide us as we navigate the path of agrarian  invention and sustainability. We must also keep reaffirming our commitment to the principles he held dear —  backing the cause of  growers and  icing that the fruits of scientific  invention reach the roots of our agrarian breadth, fostering growth, sustainability, and substance for generations to come.

This tremendous achievement earned him the  well-conditioned  justified title of the ‘ Father of the Indian Green Revolution ’. The Green Revolution offered a  regard of India’s ‘ Can do spirit ’ — that if we’ve a billion challenges, we also have a billion minds with the  honey of  invention to overcome those challenges. Five decades after the Green Revolution began, Indian  husbandry has come far more  ultramodern and progressive.

   But the very foundations laid by Professor Swaminathan can  noway  be forgotten. Over the times, he  shouldered  introducing  exploration in combating  spongers affecting the potato crop. His  exploration also enabled potato crops to  repel cold rainfall. moment, the world is talking about millets or ‘ Shree Anna ’ as superfoods, but Professor Swaminathan had encouraged a  converse around millets since the 1990s. My  particular  relations with Professor Swaminathan were  expansive.   They began after I took over as Chief Minister of Gujarat in 2001. During those days, Gujarat wasn’t known for its agrarian prowess. consecutive  famines, a super cyclone and an earthquake had impacted the growth line of the state.

His countersign was enough to  move those who were sceptical about the scheme which would  ultimately set the stage for Gujarat’s agrarian success. Our  relations continued during my  principal clerical  term and also when I took over as Prime Minister. 

I met him at the International Agrobiodiversity Congress in 2016 and the coming time, in 2017, I launched a two- part book series written by him.
