M.S. Swaminathan

The Man Who Fed India
Swaminathan worked tirelessly against tremendous odds to disprove doomsday prophecies and Malthusian theories, with a simple but profound four-letter word philosophy--food; and the idea that food and nutrition security were paramount for human progress.
This was the turning point a young undaunted scientist named Monkombu Sambasivan Swaminathan (M.S. Swaminathan) was looking for. It was that giant leap of faith that would help him engineer the agricultural transformation christened the 'Green Revolution' that would be the crucial hinge on which the fortunes of the country would eventually turn and leapfrog her destiny from the 'begging bowl' to the 'breadbasket'.
