| Additional information |
India hosted the 2nd International Crop Science Congress in New Delhi in 1996, bringing together agricultural researchers at a moment when the country was still measuring the long-term yields of its own Green Revolution — itself only a generation old. The commemorative coin was issued that year by the Reserve Bank of India under the government's ongoing program of marking scientific and developmental milestones in cupro-nickel.
