Green Revolution

The Green Revolution is actually a process of increasing agricultural production through modern machinery and techniques. It was a technology science based on research conducted between 1950 and the late 1960s, that increased agricultural production around the world, especially in developing countries, much earlier in the late 1960’s. HYV seeds have been used, increased fertilizer use and more technological methods to irrigate grain grain production.


Green Revolution in India
The Indian Green Revolution began in the early 1960’s which led to an increase in grain production, especially in the Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh. Significant milestones in this are the growth of highly productive wheat varieties. Green Revolution is a revolution in nature due to the introduction of new technologies, new ideas, new uses of inputs such as HYV seeds, fertilizers, irrigation water, pesticides, etc. As all of this was introduced suddenly and quickly spread to achieve amazing results is called the green agricultural revolution.


Mathematical Results
Recorded grain production in 1978-79 about 131 million tons occurred as a result of the Green Revolution. As a result, it made India one of the world’s largest agricultural producers. In India the Green Revolution has recorded a high level of success. India was also exported food grains at that time.


Economic Impact
The plant areas under this program need a lot of water, a lot of fertilizer, a lot of pesticides, and some chemicals. This has boosted the growth of the local manufacturing sector. Improved industrial growth has created new jobs and contributed to the country’s GDP. The increase in irrigation has created a need for new monsoon water dams. Stored water is used to generate electricity. All of this has led to industrial growth, job creation and improved living conditions for rural people.


Social Outcomes
This new technology uses regular water use, fertilizers, insecticides, high transportation costs, electricity, etc. Not only agricultural workers but also industrial workers found many jobs due to the construction of facilities such as factories, power stations, etc. re-supporting change.


Political Impact
One of the most important factors that led Mother Indira Gandhi (1917-1984) and her party to become the Indian National Congress, the most powerful political party in India, is the Green Revolution. India disguised itself from a starving nation and was exported for food. This has given India gratitude and appreciation from all over the world, especially from the third world country.


The downside of the Green Revolution
The negative social impact of the Reformation was also evident soon. Wage variance has been exacerbated by these new agricultural innovations. Wealthy landowners have control over agricultural inputs and improved chemical fertilizers. To make matters worse, poor farmers find themselves crippled by small farms and poor access to water. With comprehensive agricultural techniques and incorporation, Green revaluation was widely used on large farms.
As the collection of new technology on larger farms, inequality has improved dramatically. Poor farmers have been hit hard by the growing trend among wealthy farmers to seek out leased land under a lease agreement, which has made huge profits from high-yielding technology.
The poorer and more subsequent farmers’ category has been heavily influenced by the landless working class. Significant increase in high employment rates with increasing global value. And as a result of overuse of fertilizer the soil became alkaline or acidic depending on the type of fertilizer used.
