Answers
Answer:
Chandigarh: Father of the Green Revolution in India and renowned farm scientist M S Swaminathan has given the call for 'evergreen revolution', “which implies productivity improvement in perpetuity without ecological and social harm.The former director general (DG) of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) had worked closely with noted American farm scientist Norman E Borlaug to introduce high yielding varieties (HYV) of wheat in Punjab, Haryana and west Uttar Pradesh.“The major problems associated with the Green Revolution are related to environmental factors like depletion and pollution of groundwater, soil erosion and loss of biodiversity. It is these deficiencies that can be remedied through the ‘evergreen revolution’ pathway developed by me over 30 years ago. Therefore 50 years later we should work for a transition from the green to an ‘evergreen revolution’, leading to an enhancement in productivity in perpetuity without ecological harm. The technology involves the mainstreaming of ecological factors in technology development and dissemination,” Prof Swaminathan has mentioned in his article.
