Complete answer:
The renovation of agricultural practices for better yield is referred to as the Green Revolution.

Punjab was the first state in India where the Green revolution began. The Third Agricultural Revolution is another name for the Green Revolution. Production of higher-yielding varieties of wheat was the main development of the Green Revolution. It developed rust-resistant varieties of wheat. The increase in the production was due to the introduction of high yielding varieties (HYV) of seeds and the good quality of fertilizers. Improved irrigation techniques also helped in increased production. The Green Revolution helped the country to become self-sufficient in food grains. This led to an improvement in the agriculture system in India.
