Question
Answer the following question.
Briefly explain any two problems caused by the Green Revolution with respect to Indian agriculture.
Solution
Two problems of the Green Revolution are :
1. Inter-crop Imbalances: Though all the crops like wheat, rice, jowar, banjara, and maize have gained from the Green Revolution, it is wheat that has benefited the most. The HYV seeds for pulses and oilseeds have not been developed so far at all. The result is an excess of production in two main food grains-wheat and rice and shortages in most other like oilseeds and pulses.
2. Regional Disparities: Green Revolution affected only those areas which were already better placed from an agricultural point of view like Western U.P., Punjab and Haryana in the north and Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh in the south. It has hardly touched Eastern India, Assam, Bihar, West Bengal, and Odisha.
