GREEN REVOLUTION IN INDIA The term Green Revolution is associated with agricultural development and higher production of crops. That happened in India in early 1960’s. The leading role was taken by Norman Borlaug for the development of agriculture in developing countries which was called Green Revolution. In India a great act was done by M S.Swaminathan,who is called ‘The Father of Green Revolution’. Through this project many steps were taken for the higher production of crops, such as-high yielding seeds, use of technology, use of tractors and other instruments,also other measures like integrated agricultural land development ,use of fertilizers ,use of pesticides, commercialization of agriculture, allotment of capital etc. The main goal of this project was — higher production of crops, supply of sufficient food grains, commercialization of agriculture, economic development of farmers etc . In India Green Revolution was so successful for the sector of wheat production and it was also very successful in the states like Punjab ,Uttar Pradesh ,Haryana. For other crops and for other regions of country the development was not happened as expected. So there is a criticism that the effect of Green Revolution was not same throughout the India. That also was the reason behind economic biasness among the farmers of different regions in India and it also created regional differentiation in agricultural production in different parts of India.
