Question

green Maharashtra revolution (speech writing)​

Answer 1

Green Revolution is the term used for the spectacular growth in the food grains production, particularly in wheat and rice, as a result of the new agricultural strategy introduced in 1967-68.

This strategy was in the form of a package programme woven around new high yielding varieties (HYV) of seeds and included other inputs, such as chemical fertilisers and pesticides, assured water supply, supply of electricity at subsidised rates, improvement of rural infrastructure (road, transport, etc.), credit and marketing facilities on cooperative basis, a system of support prices and buffer stocking.
