My personal view is for short term green revolution was very advantageous but being a farmer myself I believe in long term it has caused a lot of problem for us.
When we talk about negative and positive impact of Green revolution in Indian context we see a lot of them and a book can be written on the subject but for ease I am giving only few main points and not going into details.
Positives:
1 - Increase in Production / yield.
2 - Advantage to farmers: this includes their economic situation improving, even small and marginal farmers (although they were late in joining) getting better yield, control on many insects and pests, mechanizing improved working conditions.
3- Better land use by employing two and three crop pattern.
4 - better scientific methods applied as per requirement of farms.
5- New seeds have been developed with better yield and disease fighting capability.
