(C) First phase of the green revolution	(III) Reduced the risk of small farmers being ruined by pest attacks
(D) Second phase of the green revolution	(IV) Use of HYV seeds restricted to affluent states, mainly for wheat

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Answer & explanation

Correct answer: option 2

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(IV), (D)-(I)

Each item is a part or a phase of the green revolution.

List-I	List-II	Reason
(A) Research institutes set up by the government	(III) Reduced the risk of small farmers being ruined by pest attacks	Their services cut the risk from pests.
(B) Government procurement of food grains	(II) Building a stock to be used in times of food shortage	Bigger harvests let the government build a stock.
(C) First phase of the green revolution	(IV) Use of HYV seeds restricted to affluent states, mainly for wheat	Mid-1960s to mid-1970s.
(D) Second phase of the green revolution	(I) HYV technology spread to more states and more crops	Mid-1970s to mid-1980s.

NCERT (2026-27): “2.3 Agriculture … As a result, in the first phase of the green revolution (approximately mid 1960s upto mid 1970s), the use of HYV seeds was restricted to the more affluent states such as Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Further, the use of HYV seeds primarily benefited the wheat-growing regions only. In the second phase of the green revolution (mid-1970s to mid-1980s), the HYV technology spread to a larger number of states and benefited more variety of crops. …”

“… The green revolution enabled the government to procure sufficient amount of food grains to build a stock which could be used in times of food shortage. …”

“… The risk of the small farmers being ruined when pests attack their crops was considerably reduced by the services rendered by research institutes established by the government. …”
