Read the passage and answer the question that follows: The Green Revolution in India, which began in the mid-1960s, transformed the country from a food-deficient nation to one of the world's leading agricultural producers. The revolution was characterized by the adoption of high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds, increased use of fertilizers and pesticides, improved irrigation facilities, and better farm management practices. Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh were the primary beneficiaries of this agricultural transformation. Wheat and rice production increased dramatically, with wheat production rising from 12 million tonnes in 1965 to 75 million tonnes by the mid-1990s. However, the Green Revolution also led to environmental concerns such as groundwater depletion, soil degradation, and reduced crop diversity. Question: Which crops saw dramatic production increases during the Green Revolution in India?
