2. GREEN REVOLUTION IN INDIA
The Green Revolution in India refers to a
period of time when agriculture in
India changed to an industrial system due to the
adoption of modern methods and technology
such as high yielding variety (HYV) seeds,
tractors, irrigation facilities, pesticides,
fertilizers etc.
This was part of the larger Green
revolution started by Norman Borlaug.
Within India, green revolution started in the
early 1960s and led to an increase in food grain
production.
Dr. Mankombu Sambasivan Swaminathan
is known as the "Father of Indian Green
Revolution" for his leadership and success in
introducing and further developing high-
yielding varieties of wheat in India.

3. SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITION OF INDIA
DURING GREEN REVOLUTION
• Famine had ripped though parts
of India in the past, and many
economists and agricultural
scientists predicted worse famine
in the future is a new plan was
not put in place.
• Overpopulation was stretching
India’s food resources.
• Government inability to ensure
proper movement of good to
areas that were in need.
• Lack of self-sufficiency.
• Lack of finance.

4. OBJECTIVES OF GREEN REVOLUTION
Expansion of Farming Areas.
Double-Cropping the
Farmlands.
Use of Superior Genetic
Quality Seeds.
Use of chemicals (pesticides,
insecticides, fertilizers etc.).
Use of machineries.
Technological advancement.

5. ADVANTAGES OF GREEN REVOLUTION
1. Agricultural operations of a massive scale.
2. Higher yield
3. Plants have become resistant to pests and
herbicides.
4. The need to fallow lands is eliminated.
5. Automation in the process of farming.
6. Ability to grow any crop virtually anywhere.
7. More profitable farming industry.

6. DISADVANTAGES OF GREEN REVOLUTION
1. Mono-Culturing.
2. Probability of Weeds and Pests to Develop Hazards.
3. Compromise to Crop Health.
4. Sterile Seeds.
5. Varied Soil Type by Location.
6. High Cost.
7. Shortage of Supply.
8. Environmental Harm.

7. Green Revolution’s primary goal is to eliminate hunger
worldwide, but there are still people who are suffering from
starvation, where most of them are women and children. So, it is
very important to have a clear and better understanding when it
comes to resolving such a problem. In order to eliminate it, more
food must be produced. According to research, there is enough
food supply to feed everyone, and the government is exerting full
effort to sustain such need. Traditional farming is still used,
especially among small farmers, who cannot afford Green
Revolution.
