प्रश्न
Discuss any two merits and demerits of the Green Revolution in the agricultural sector in the Indian economy.
उत्तर
Merits of Green Revolution:
- Increase in Production: It significantly increased agricultural productivity and consequently crop yield. The gap between the sowing and harvesting of crops was reduced due to HYV seeds.
- Shift to Commercial Farming: Considerable growth in output led to a marketable surplus. The farmers were encouraged to switch from subsistence to commercial farming as a result of it. This denotes progress and growth.
Demerits of Green Revolution:
- Limited Crops: The green revolution was mostly limited to the cultivation of food grains, including rice and wheat. The production of commercial crops like cotton, jute, and other fibers as well as pulses has not increased in this way.
- Economic Divide: It solely helped wealthy farmers. Small and marginal farmers were unable to benefit from it since they employed pricey inputs in their farming operations.
