Impact Of Green Revolution on Food Security in India

• The Bengal Famine in 1943 was the worst recorded food disaster in the world, where approximately four million people lost their lives because of hunger in the eastern region of India.
• The explanation given for this catastrophe was the occurrence of an acute deficit in the food production in that area, though other reasons like the impact of World War II, where the supply of food was a low priority for the British rulers, were also responsible.
• Exploitation by Indian traders was carrying on, with them hoarding food to sell at a higher price later.
• In 1947, after India got its Independence it was still haunted by the Bengal Famine, thus kept food security as a predominant item on its agenda.
• The awareness led to legislative measures taken ensuring that no businessmen would again be able to hoard food for profit as well as the introduction of Green Revolution in India, though it was basically enforced between the periods from 1967 to 1978.
• The attempts till 1967 were mainly on expansion of the farming areas though deaths due to starvation were still reported because of the growth in population being much faster than the production of food.
• The drastic action came in the form of the Green Revolution in order to increase the crop yield.
