Question 7.
\nWhat was Green Revolution ? Examine any two positive and two negative consequences of Green Revolution.
\nAnswer:
\nIn 1960s, India was facing food crisis due to many reasons. India was dependent on U.S.A. for food which was putting many limitations on India\u2019s policies. Indian Government decided to make India self-sufficient in food. Hence the government adopted a new strategy for agriculture in order to increase food production. Since the mid 1960s, the traditional agricultural practices were gradually replaced by modern technology.<\/p>\n

Use of high-yielding variety seeds and the increased use of fertilisers and irrigation are simply called Green Revolution or modern agricultural technology. As a result of Green Revolution, area under improved seeds has gone up from about 15 million hectares during 1970\u201471 to nearly 75 million hectares in 1995-96. The new varieties are of a short term duration and consequently, instead of growing one crop, two crops and sometimes even three crops are grown.<\/p>\n

The major benefits of the Green Revolution were experienced mainly in northern and north western India. Unprecedented enthusiasm has prevailed among farmers in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan and Western U.P. for the new wheat variety seeds and a situation developed in which the demand for seeds by farmers exceeded the supply.<\/p>\n
