Examine the social and economic impacts of the green revolution in India. What were the effects of these advances in technology?
Solution
VerifiedThe Green Revolution in India is a period when Indian agriculture has been turned into an industrial system due to modern technologies. This revolution has brought high-yielding seeds, tractors, irrigation systems, various pesticides and fertilizers. These new measures have reduced food imports to India. The Green Revolution in India began in the early 1960s, which led to a massive increase in cereal production in several areas. Scientists have created many types of wheat with high yields. The positive effect is the increased quantity of crops, but the negative side are pesticides and fertilizers, which have significantly damaged the soil. Some farmers also had financial problems. The state rarely gave farmers far-reaching loans.
