Question

How did spread of electricity help farmers in Palampur? Explain the three negative impacts of the Green Revolution

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) Most of the houses in Palampur have electric connections.

(ii) Electricity powers all the tube wells in the fields that help to irrigate much larger areas of land more effectively as compared to the traditional Persian wheel drawn by bullocks. Since the entire cultivated area of 200 hectares had come under irrigation farmers did not have to depend on rainfall and could grow multiple crops.

(iii) It helps small businesses run their machinery like Mishrilal's sugarcane crushing machine.

Green Revolution was a period of great increase in production of food grains (especially wheat and rice) that resulted in large part from the introduction of new, high-yielding varieties, beginning in the mid-20th century. It has some negative effects as below:

1. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides caused erosion and pollution.

2. Loss of genetic diversity.

3. In drier locations, wheat yield gains fell drastically.

4. Excessive irrigation led to problems like leaching, water logging, etc.
