Green Revolution refers to an increase in the production of food grains due to the use of high yielding variety seeds, use of fertilisers, pesticides and irrigation facilities. Reasons for implementation of Green Revolution: At the time of independence, a large chunk of farmers were dependent on the monsoon due to which they faced innumerable problems in farming activities. The technology and machinery used in farming were obsolete which resulted in low agricultural productivity. Indian agriculture suffered from low productivity of food grains as more emphasis was given to cash crops during the colonial rule. This resulted in the shortage of food grains in India. Indian farmers were dependent on landlords and rural money lenders to meet their credit requirements. Landlords and lenders exploited farmers. The Green Revolution ensured food security to the Indian population. The motive behind implementing the Green Revolution was to increase agricultural productivity. read less
