Question

How has green revolution made india self sufficient in food grains explained?

Answer 1

Hii Friend here is ur answer

At the time of independence about 75% ot the population of India is dependent on agricultural activities but because of low productivity in the sector India was importing high amount of grains from USA and other nations.

The stagnation in agriculture during the colonial rule was permanently broken by the green revolution: this refers to the large increase in production of food grains resulting from the use of high yielding variety (HYV) seeds especially for wheat and rice.

The first phase of the green revolution (approximately mid 1960s upto mid 1970s), the use of HYV seeds was restricted to the more affluent states such as Punjab,Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.Further, the use of HYV seeds primarily benefited the wheat-growing regions only. In the second phase of the green revolution(mid-1970s to mid-1980s), the HYVtechnology spread to a larger number of states and benefited more variety of crops. The spread of green revolution technology enabled India to achieve self-sufficiency in foodgrains; we no longer had to be at the mercy of America, or any other nation,for meeting our nation’s food requirements.

Answer 2

Answer:

• In the late 1960s, the Green Revolution introduced the Indian farmer to the cultivation of high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of seeds.
• The HYVs (coupled with chemical fertilisers and pesticides) led to a growth in the productivity of food grains (especially wheat and rice), thereby helping India attain self-sufficiency in food grains.
• Since the advent of the Green Revolution, the country has avoided famine even during adverse weather conditions.
