YUAN LONGPING
The chinese charmer

Talking about Yuan Longping is more relevant today, with uncontrollable inflation due to shortage of commodities including the essential food grains like the rice & wheat marring the global economy. Every scientist cherishes a dream of creating something unique that will help the world at large. However, in the case of Yuan Longping, dubbed as “father of hybrid rice,” he dreamt of cultivates rice as plump as peanuts, and that farmers could relax in the cool shadow of big rice plants. As a young impressionable man, teaching at an agricultural school, he was overcome with grief when a series of natural disasters had plunged China into an unprecedented famine that caused many deaths. It was then that he developed the first hybrid rice variety, which provided 30% more rice than the normal yielding ones. His research is said to be the second green revolution. Yuan didn’t stop there. With the money he earned, he today continues to support research being carried out by others. Today when shortage of food grains is hitting the people of India hard, it’s time that the Indian scientists take lessons from this unlikely Chinese hero.
