Problem and its Background
The introduction of high-yielding varieties of seeds and the increased use of chemical fertilizers and irrigation are known collectively as the Green Revolution, which provided the increase in production needed to make India self-sufficient in food grains, thus improving agriculture in India. The methods adopted included the use of high yielding varieties of seeds, irrigation, use of insecticides and pesticides and other structural changes such as consolidation of land holdings, land reforms, improved rural infrastructure, supply of agricultural credit. The production of wheat has produced the best results in fuelling self sufficiency of India. Following are some of the positive impacts of these: 1. Increase in production / yield. 2. Advantage to farmers: this includes their economic situation improving, even small and marginal farmers (although they were late in joining) getting better yield, control on many insects and pests, mechanizing improved working conditions. 3.
