What do you mean by Green Revolution? Why was the initial impact of Green Revolution limited to wheat and only to a few regions? |
|
Answer» 1. Green Revolution is a revolution which started in the late 1960s with an aim of achieving self-sufficiency in the production of grains like wheat and rice. 2. The initial impact of Green Revolution was limited to wheat and only to a few regions because initially only the farmers of Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh by out the modern farming method in India. 3. They used tubewells for irrigation and made use of HYV seeds, chemical fertilisers and pesticides in farming. 4. Capital required for using HYV seeds was very high. Therefore small farmers and many backward regions could not use the modern techniques. 5. Use of HYV seeds require all other modern techniques of cultivation also therefore for initial time it remained unapproachable in many backward villages and small farmers which work without electricity or own poor farm distribution. |
