Solution

India has not become self sufficient in foodgrains uptil now.

Explanation:

India’s Green Revolution, starting in the 1960s, introduced high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilizers, irrigation, and pesticides, which led to a large increase in foodgrain production, enabling India to become self-sufficient. Cooperatives help in distribution and support to farmers, sometimes seen as supplementing the PDS but not exactly replacing it.
