#ThrowbackThursday #TBT #MSS100.A time etched in India's history - when we moved from 'ship-to-mouth' existence to self-sufficiency in #food production. @thePlateIndia @CharlesCMann remind us that MSS' bold & innovative thinking with Gamma Rays made Indian #wheat what it is today
Did you know the soft, golden rotis we eat today could’ve been hard, dark & bitter? Thanks to agri-scientist MS Swaminathan, who played a key role in reversing India’s famine through high-yield wheat varieties, our plates and pantries were transformed. This Baisakhi, we celebrate
