Green Revolution did NOT brought which of the following changes in India? |
Low dependence on America and other nations for import of food grains Enough supply to cover demand of Indian people for food grains Decline in food grain prices relative to other items of consumption None of the above |
None of the above |
The correct answer is Option 4: None of the above The stagnation in agriculture sector during colonial era was permanently broken by the green revolution. This refers to the large increase in the production of food grains resulting from the use of HYV seeds. The spread of green revolution technology enabled India to achieve self-sufficiency in food grains; India no longer had to be at the mercy of America, or any other nation, for meeting its food requirements. A good proportion of the rice and wheat produced during the green revolution period (available as marketed surplus) was sold by the farmers in the market. As a result, the price of food grains declined relative to other items of consumption. The lowincome groups, who spend a large percentage of their income on food, benefited from this decline in relative prices. 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. |
