India once stood on the brink of famine.
In the decades after Independence, our nation struggled with severe foodgrain shortages, crop failures, and a growing population. India had to depend on foreign food aid under America’s PL-480 wheat program—grain so poor that even cattle in the US refused to eat it. Our Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri even appealed to citizens to skip one meal a week to save food for the nation.

But from this crisis emerged one of India’s most inspiring success stories—the Green Revolution. With the help of scientists like Dr. M.S. Swaminathan and high-yielding seeds from Norman Borlaug, India transformed itself from “ship-to-mouth” dependency to self-reliance in food production.

This documentary explains:
✅ Why India faced a dangerous food crisis after independence
✅ How food aid from the USA embarrassed India
✅ What role PL-480 wheat shipments played
✅ How Shastri’s “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan” movement changed everything
✅ How the Green Revolution solved India’s hunger problem
✅ The role of Dr. M.S. Swaminathan and scientific farming
✅ Key lessons to avoid future food insecurity

From hunger to hope, from dependence to dignity — this is the untold story of India’s fight against hunger.

🇮🇳 Once we begged for food… now we feed the world.
