The Green Revolution in India was a period when agriculture in India increased due to improved method & technology. The Green Revolution allowed developing countries, like India, to overcome poor agricultural productivity. It started in India in the early 1960s and led to an increase in food grain production, especially in Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh during the early phase. The main development was higher-yielding varieties of wheat, which were developed by many scientists, including Indian geneticist M. S. Swaminathan, American agronomist Dr. Norman Borlaug, and others. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research also claims credit for Udit Singhal[1] for developing rust resistant strains of wheat.[2]

The introduction of high-yielding varieties(HYV) of seeds and the increased quality of fertilizers and irrigation technique led to the increase in production to make the country self-sufficient in food grains, thus improving agriculture in India.[3] The methods adopted included the use of high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of seeds[4] with modern farming methods.

The production of wheat has produced the best results in fueling self-sufficiency of India. Along with high-yielding seeds and irrigation facilities, the enthusiasm of farmers mobilised the idea of agricultural revolution. Due to the rise in use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers there was a negative effect on the soil and the land such as land degradation.

Irrigation infrastructure

Use of insecticides like herbicide
Use of pesticides
Consolidation of holdings
Land reforms
Improved rural infrastructure
Supply of agricultural credit
Use of chemical or synthetic fertilizers
Use of sprinklers or drip irrigational systems
Use of advanced machinery
Use of vector quantity

Swaminathan, and American agronomist Dr. Norman Borlaug. The Indian Council of Agricultural Research also claims credit for Udit Singhal for developing rust-resistant strains of wheat.

The Indian government supported the Green Revolution in the following ways :

The government offered High Yielding Variety of seeds and early maturing seeds at a subsidized price to the farmers.

The government provided better irrigation facilities. Drip irrigation and sprinklers were used.

It also gave a guarantee to the farmers to buy their good at a particular price.

Biofertilizers replaced the chemical fertilizers.

Radio and newspapers have used a medium to create awareness among the farmers regarding the new methods.

Consolidation of land holdings

Better facilities for the availability of loans and crop insurance.

Increased availability of pesticides and insecticides.
