Question

Answer 1

The word 'Green Revolution' comprises of two words ‘Green’ that is associated to crops and ‘Revolution’ that is associated to the substantial increase. Green Revolution was introduced by 'Norman Borlaug' who introduced the concept of HYV seeds which made drastic improvements in the productivity and output. In India, Green Revolution was introduced in two phases. The first phase was in the period mid 60s-mid 70s. Initially, it was restricted only to certain states such as Punjab, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu which were dominant in the cultivation of wheat and rice. The second phase was introduced in the period mid 70s-mid 80s,where it was further spread to other areas and to crops other than wheat and rice. Green Revolution was brought to India by the initiative of Indian government. Genetically modified high-yielding wheat was first introduced to India in 1960 by Dr. Norman Borlaug It is also rightly credited to M. S. Swaminathan and his team who contributed towards the success of green revolution in India. It is the term given to the introduction of high-yielding varieties of seeds and the increased use of fertilizers and irrigation which provided the increase in production needed to make India self-sufficient in food grains, thus improving agriculture in India. I hope the answer was helpful to you If it was please mark it as brainlist ❤️
