He is lauded as a key leader in the Green Revolution in the 60s in Asia for his development of strains IR36 and IR64, varieties that produced a higher volume of grains per plant and are credited with vastly improving the global supply of rice during a period of extensive population growth. He was honored with the World Food Prize in 1996 for his efforts, the Borlaug Award in 1977, the Japan Prize in 1987, and the Wolf Prize in 2000. He returned to UC Davis as an Adjunct Professor in 2002.

  • Great Indian Scientists, from Ancient Times to the Present
    Bollywood Director Priyadarshan releases the vacation issue (April) of Manorama Tell Me Why, 'Great Movies'. From the house of MAGIC POT, THE WEEK, MANORAMA YEARBOOK, VANITHA & . , • '; ,< , June 2013 Volum�: 7 No: 6 THE MALAYALA MANORAMA DAI!;), MERA SHARAT MAHAAN Twenty-six centuries ago, before the advent of modern medical practices, an Indian doctor, Sushruta stitched back the severed nose of a patient! This giant leap, considered the world's first plastic surgery, was a great milestone in medical science, since the rest of the world knew little about the human body. India's knowledge, skill, and scientific tradition dates back to some 3000 years before Christ. Thanks to our ancestors' brilliant and creative minds, India made great achievements in different areas of science, right from introducing the concept of zero, to exploring the wonders of astronomy. The concept of the atom was first proposed by an Indian scientist, Kanada. From the microcosm to the vast expanses of outer space, nothing was beyond Indian scientific minds. Today, Indian scientists are internationally renowned, and celebrated for their innovation and talent. This issue ofTell Me Why tells the inspiring story of our great Indian scientists, from ancient times to the present.
