Read the passage and answer the following questions.
The land reforms have had only limited impact on rural society and the agrarian structure in most regions. In contrast the Green Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s bring about significant changes in the areas where it took place. The Green Revolution was a government programme of agricultural modernisation. It was largely funded by international agencies that was based on providing High Yielding Variety (HYV) or hybrid seeds along with pesticides, fertilizers, and other inputs, to farmers. Green Revolution programmes were introduced only in areas that had assured irrigation, because sufficient water was necessary for the new seeds and methods of cultivation. It was also targeted mainly at the wheat and rice-growing areas. As a result, only certain regions such as the Punjab, Western U.P., coastal Andhra Pradesh, and parts of Tamil Nadu received the first wave of the Green Revolution package. The rapid social and economic transformations that were seen in these areas stimulated a spate of studies by social scientists, and vigorous debates about the impact of Green Revolution.
As Green Revolution is associated with agricultural modernisation, similarly White Revolution is associated with.
