Pythons are the largest snakes but they are not poisonous.

Green revolution can be defined as a significant increase in agricultural productivity resulting from the introduction of high-yield varieties of seeds, use of pesticides, chemical fertilizers, and improved management techniques and The White Revolution was world's largest agricultural dairy development program. Due to the green revolution, the agricultural industry was able to produce much larger quantities of food. The white revolution led to increased milk production.

The Green Revolution refers to a period of significant increase in agricultural production, particularly in food grains, through the use of high-yielding varieties and modern techniques.

• The Green Revolution was the notable increase in cereal-grains production in Mexico, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, and other developing countries in the 1960s and 1970s. 
• Green revolution was a period when the productivity of global agriculture increased drastically as a result of new advances. 
• During this time period, new chemical fertilizers and synthetic herbicides and pesticides were created. 
• The chemical fertilizers made it possible, to supply crops with extra nutrients and, therefore, increase yield.
•  The newly developed synthetic herbicides and pesticides controlled weeds, deterred or kill insects, and prevented diseases, which also resulted in higher productivity. 
• This increase in productivity made it possible to feed the growing human population. 
• The extra food produced by the Green Revolution is generally considered to have averted famine in India and Pakistan.

The green revolution refers to a series of research, and development, and technology transfer initiatives, occurring between the 1940s and the late 1960s, that increased agricultural production worldwide, particularly in the developing world, beginning most markedly in the late 1960s. The initiatives, led by Norman Borlaug, the "father of the green revolution," who won the Nobel Prize in 1970, credited with saving over a billion people from starvation, involved the development of high-yielding varieties of cereal grains, expansion of irrigation infrastructure, modernization of management techniques, distribution of hybridized seeds, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides to farmers.

Mankombu Sambasivan Swaminathan is an Indian geneticist and international administrator, renowned for his leading role in India's "Green Revolution", a program under which high-yield varieties of wheat and rice seedlings were planted in the fields of poor farmers.
Swaminathan is known as "Indian Father of Green Revolution" for his leadership and success in introducing and further developing high-yielding varieties of wheat in India. He is the founder and chairman of the MS Swaminathan Research Foundation. His stated vision is to rid the world of hunger and poverty. Swaminathan is an advocate of moving India to sustainable development, especially using environmentally sustainable agriculture, sustainable food security and the preservation of biodiversity, which he calls an "evergreen revolution."
From 1972 to 1979, he was director general of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. He was Principal Secretary of Ministry of Agriculture from 1979 to 1980.

Norman Barlaug, the "Father of Green Revolution" received the Nobel prize in 1970 for the high-yielding variety of wheat at global internationally. Whereas Swaminathan is known as a father of green revolution in India.

Green revolution refers to a research and development iniatiatives occuring between 1930s and late 1960s that increased agriculture production worldwide.
