From the days of importing food to holding surplus stocks, India has made tremendous progress in the area of food production. The quantum leap in cereal production witnessed during the period of Green Revolution and the subsequent revolution in milk production are examples of concerted action as a result of synergy between scientific technology and public policy. Underpinning these, lies the role of the vast number of men and women farmers who made these advances possible by adopting the techniques quickly and participating enthusiastically in the endeavour to produce more food. Hence, people’s participation is key to the success of any intervention.
