Abstract

Ever since from classical times, the Indian economy is totally dependent on agriculture. During the1950s, India experiences a terrible food crisis that is identified as the Bengal Famine. Agricultural planning has also resulted in a relative increase in crop yield. This advancement is known as the “Green Revolution,” a modern phase of agricultural growth. The green revolution denotes an increase in agricultural output through the use of high-yielding seed varieties (HYVS), water management, chemical fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides, and high technological assistance, among other things. The Green Revolution had a significant positive influence on the state’s agricultural industry. Despite a huge positive impact, the majority of people in India suffer from over usage of fertilisers, malnutrition and poor health. This study attempts to analyse the positive and negative impacts of Green Revolution.
