India has a history of famines and hunger. However, starting with the British initiatives in the beginning of the 20th century, followed by US AID assistance and help after its independence in 1947, and later with its own massive developments in agricultural research under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), education and extension, India has now achieved self-sufficiency in food grains. Government of India has also developed a well-organized public distribution system (PDS) for distribution of food grains especially for below poverty line people (BPL). There has been no famine in India after it gained independence in 1947. In addition to food grains, agricultural science and technology has also helped India in taking strides in the production of fruits and vegetables, milk and fisheries and meat. India thus presents as an excellent example of application of agricultural sciences toward a country’s development to other developing nations of the world and work in this direction in collaboration with USAID is in progress.

印度的农业科学与抗击饥荒,饥饿和营养不良的斗争

印度有饥荒和饥饿的历史。但是,从20世纪初的英国倡议开始,其次是美国AID在1947年独立后的援助和帮助,后来随着印度农业研究理事会(ICAR)在农业研究方面的大规模发展,教育从扩展到扩展,印度现在已经实现了粮食的自给自足。印度政府还开发了组织良好的公共分配系统(PDS),用于分配粮食,特别是针对贫困线以下的人(BPL)。自1947年获得独立以来,印度从未发生过饥荒。除粮食谷物外,农业科学技术还帮助印度在水果和蔬菜,牛奶,渔业和肉类的生产上取得了长足的进步。
