Read the passage and answer following questions.

Local commentary increasingly contrasts the sampurna (wholeness) of the organic produce with that of the hybrid produce. An elderly woman Bhargawa Hugar, in the village of Madbhavi, said: What.... they used to grow some wheat, red sorghum.... plant a few tubers, chilli plants... cotton. Now there's only hibrad (hybrid) ... where's the javari (organic/ local)? Hybrid seeds... hybrid crops.. even the children are hybrid. Hybrid seeds are sown on the earth... the children born are also hybrid.

The Green Revolution was promoted more in the ______ and southern parts of the country than in the ______ parts of the country.

Northern, Eastern

The correct answer is Option (2) → Northern, Eastern

A negative outcome of the Green Revolution strategy was the worsening of regional inequalities. The areas that underwent this technological transformation became more developed while other areas stagnated. For instance, the Green Revolution was promoted more in the western and southern parts of the country, and in Punjab, Haryana, and western U.P. (Northern States) than in the eastern parts of the country (Das, 1999). As a result, we find agriculture in states such as Bihar and in eastern U.P., and in dry regions such as Telengana, to be relatively undeveloped.
