Answers
Answer:
Impact of the Green Revolution:
Increase in Agricultural Production: Foodgrains in India saw a great rise in output. It was a remarkable increase. The biggest beneficiary of the plan was the Wheat Grain. The production of wheat increased to 55million tonnes in 1990 from just 11million tonnes in 1960..
Increase in per Acre Yield: not only did the Green Revolution increase the total agriculture output, it also increased the per hectare yield. In case of wheat, the per hectare yield increased from 850 kg/hectare to an incredible 2281 kg/ hectare by 1990..
Less Dependence on imports: After the green revolution, India was finally on its way to Self-suffiency. There was now enough production for the population and to build a stock in case of emergencies. We did not need to import grains or depend on other countries for our food supply. In fact India was able to start exporting it's agricutural produce.
