New Delhi, Aug 1 (ANI): Nine new varieties of heat resistant wheat have been developed by Indian scientists to fight the impact of climate change in the country.
Indian Council of Agricultural Research reports that introduction of this hybrid variety of wheat will contribute to a large extent to achieve food security in the country.
Official sources say that Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh known as granary of the country will be the worst affected by the climate change.
