Answer:
• The impact of Green Revolution was the increase in the food grain production to manifolds.
• Doctor Norman .E. Borlaug is called as the Father of the Green Revolution.
Explanation:
• After the Second World War ended, the world was once again facing challenges in the form of food production, so that enough food is produced to feed the world population.
• In this regard, in 1960s Doctor Norman Borlaug created various high yielding varieties of seeds which not only produced more food grains, which increased the food production per capita but these seeds were also disease resistant, which means that they have better chances of surviving and hence producing more food grains.
• In india, Doctor M.S. Swaminathan is considered as the Father of Green Revolution because it was due to his efforts that the farmers were given this high yielding varieties of seeds which increased the proportion of wheat and rice to manifolds, so much so that India was now able to export the surplus production.
• It also emphasized on bettering the irrigation facilities for the production of food grains.
• Although, Green Revolution was a humongous effort to make India self dependent on food grains, it also had various serious environmental effects.
• The two states where Green Revolution was huge were Punjab and Haryana. Both of this states are facing problems of salinity and increased dependency on fertilizers because of the faulty irrigation practices and decreasing fertility of land respectively.
• So, Green Revolution has caused large scale expansion of agriculture but also had some major environmental issues.
