Food security of the country has been improved due to green revolution and enhancement of cereal
production. However, recent surveys showed 35.8% of children suffer from malnutrition in India.
The Indian Council of Agricultural Research has taken lead for the biofortification of cereal crops
based on earlier national and international research efforts, targeting the enhancement of nutrients
