The green revolution in India refers to a period when Indian Agriculture was converted into an industrial system due to the adoption of modern methods and technology. Identify the regions that received the first wave of Green revolution package in India:

Punjab and Coastal Andhra

The correct answer is option 3: Punjab and Coastal Andhra

• Option 1 (Assam, Bihar, Western Bengal) :These eastern states joined the Green Revolution much later due to issues like fragmented landholdings, lack of irrigation, and inadequate infrastructure.

• Option 2 (Western UP and North Bengal) : Western UP did benefit, but North Bengal was not a major part of the initial phase.

"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."
