The term Green Revolution is a combination of two words – “Green” and “Revolution”. Green stands for greenery. Revolution means so sudden and fast changes that the spectators were wonderstruck. This term has been used for the progress of agricultural production. Because of the several agricultural reforms initiated during the period of the first three plans in India, in 1967-68, the production of foodgrains increased by about 25% as compared to the last year i.e., 1966-67. “Green Revolution refers to an extraordinary increase in agricultural production especially in Wheat and Rice, which was made possible due to the adoption of new techniques of High Yielding Varieties of seeds.”

In the words of J.G. Harrar, “The Green Revolution is the word generally used to describe the spectacular increase in the production of foodgrains that took place during 1968 and it is still continuing.
