Explanation

Kalyansona and Sonalika are high-yielding semi-dwarf wheat varieties developed during India's Green Revolution in the 1960s. They played a crucial role in making India self-sufficient in wheat production. These varieties were developed from Mexican dwarf wheat varieties brought by Norman Borlaug and adapted to Indian conditions. They are not rice, jowar, or any other crop varieties.
