During Vibrant Gujarat Celebrations in year 2005, the Hon. Chief Minister declared that Gujarat Green Revolution Company Limited (GGRC) shall implement the Micro Irrigation Scheme in the State. The main objective of the Company is to implement the Micro Irrigation Scheme to save water and energy, besides increasing the agricultural production and productivity in the larger interest of the farming community of the State. This task was entrusted to GSFC.
At this point of time, it was thought fit to rename Gujarat Agri Processing Company Limited (GAPC), which was jointly promoted by Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals Limited (GSFC), Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers Co. Ltd. (GNFC) and Gujarat Agro Industries Corporation Limited (GAIC) and incorporated in November 1998 with its Registered Office at Fertilizernagar, District Vadodara for undertaking and developing various agro based activities like food processing, high-tech green house etc. as Gujarat Green Revolution Company Limited looking to the meager amount of activities undertaken by the former GAPC.
Accordingly GGRC came into being in May 2005 to work inter alia as the Implementing Agency appointed by the Government of Gujarat and recognized by the Government of India for implementing the Micro Irrigation Scheme in the State of Gujarat.
