Detailed Solution

The Above Statement is True.
After gaining independence, Indian policymakers adopted all necessary measures to achieve food grain self-sufficiency. India changed its approach to agriculture by introducing HYV seeds, better irrigation systems, insecticides, and fertilisers. The Green Revolution was brought about as a result, particularly in the production of rice and wheat. Later, rice was able to replicate the success of wheat. In Uttar Pradesh and Punjab, where food grain production hit 78.9 million tonnes in 2012–13, the fastest rate of growth has been attained. Due to the green revolution's initiatives, food grain production increased quickly. So, we can say that India is now self-sufficient thanks to the green revolution.
