.@Dr_Jayashree_B shares how Prof started every event on time
"He'd look at the organising person- check time, audio, re-sequencing the agenda- all sorted with a look, nod & brief word- the discipline of event run, I tried to learn from him."

#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

[The Plate India @thePlateIndia]

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 the harvest, and the science behind the fluffy rotis that India loves so dearly.
