Present a case study on the topic 'The Need to Develop Farming in India'.
(100-120 words)

Answer 1

The term ‘Green Revolution’ refers to a sus­tained and continuous increase in agricultural pro­ductivity or a yield per acre take-off in traditional agriculture.

The stress is on intensive rather than extensive cultivation so as to raise productivity per hectare. It signifies a shift to the agricultural production function and the consequent increase in land productivity, i.e., yield per hectare.

In the mid-1960s, the Government of India adopted a new agricul­tural strategy which goes by different names seed-fertiliser-water technology, modern agricul­tural technology, or Green Revolution. In fact, the ‘Green Revolution’ has been the most important single technical advance in agriculture in India during the plan period.

Thus, in India, traditional farm practices and technology are being gradually replaced by mod­ern practices and technology. Modern technology is based on the use of chemical fertilisers, pesti­cides, high-yielding varieties of seeds including hybrid seeds (such as IR-8, Tinen-3, TN-1, ADT-7, etc. in case of rice, and the new Mexican varieties such as Rajo, Sonara 64, Kalyan and P.V. 18 in case of wheat) and the extensive use of electric power, implements and machinery (such as trac­tors and threshers as also irrigation). Thus, mas­sive programmes of mechanisation and irrigation were undertaken in the mid-1960s.
