Nehru has done lots and lots of good for this country.It was he who initiated massive electrification of India and lots of manufacturing units were setup including Steel plants, Neyveli Lignite factory, atomic power, cement manufacturing units.India became sulf-sufficient in rice production only because of him.He believed in peace,non-violence, mutual friendship and none would have expected in 1950s and 60s that China would betray us.He is a true patriot and is one of the greatest Indians.

Nehru was not the reason behind india becoming self sufficient in rice production. Nehru died in 1964, where as Green revolution began in 1967-68 and produced results in 1978. We can say it was more of Indira Gandhi's contribution, but certainly not Nehru's.
