Post independence, the Indian government imported the High Yield Varieties of wheat from ______.

The correct option is Mexico.

Post independence, during the mid-1960s, the Indian government initiated the Green Revolution to make the country self-sufficient in food grain production. As a key part of this initiative, India imported semi-dwarf, high-yielding varieties (HYV) of wheat developed by the Nobel laureate Dr. Norman Borlaug at the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) located in Mexico.

These Mexican wheat varieties, such as Sonora 64 and Lerma Rojo, were adapted to Indian conditions and played a crucial role in dramatically increasing wheat yields across the country, particularly in regions like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh.
