Read the passage carefully and answer the questions based on the passage:

The Green Revolution, as you know, 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, fertilisers, 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.

Which of the following is NOT true about the first wave of the Green Revolution?

It was primarily the small and marginal farmers who were able to benefit from the new technology.

The correct answer is Option (3) → It was primarily the small and marginal farmers who were able to benefit from the new technology.

It was not the small and marginal farmers who benefited — rather, it was the medium and large farmers, since inputs were costly.
