Gandhi at Varanasi in 1915, he dedicated his
life to the service of the country. He also

obtain
compromises
between
opposing
viewpoints. But in his short tenure he was
ineffectual in dealing with the economic crisis

commanded a great deal of respect in the Indian
populace, and he used it to gain advantage in
pushing the green revolution in India, which
directly led to India become a food surplus
nation, although he did not live to see it. During

created the slogan of “Jai Jawan Jai Kisan”
