Meaning:- The sudden revolutionary changes in agriculture output because of technological inputs, known as green revolution.

Reasons:-

1) America stopped giving help to India in form of PL-480 aid under which free food grains were supplied to India.

2) There was insufficient food grains to support the need of …food & nutritional requirement.

3) The availability of dwarf & semi-dwarf varieties of wheat, invented by Dr. Norman Borlog. These verities were suitable for climatic conditions of M.P. & India.

Impact:-In M.P. the impact of green revolution was felt. But it is less than states like Punjab, Hariyana & A.P.

According to a research by Mr. Sharma the green revolution provides impetus to rural development. According to him the impact of green revolution is not same in M.P. rather it is differed in different parts.

In use of high yield varieties Nimar, mandsour, chambal are more benefited. In the field of tractors, the distribution is uneven. In Rewa, Satna, Bhopal, Sehare Vidisha, Gwalior etc., the use of tractors are more than other district. The soft loans of banks are helpful to promote green revolution.

The training of modern agro technique is provided by government servants like gram sevak .In this field gram panchayat is also working as an agency.

Dr. Pramila Kumar- It is more on areas surrounded by urban town. The maximum impact of green revolution is felt by farmers ….whose holding is more than 10 acres framers with less than 10 acres of holding are not able to get the proper input of green revolution & farmers less than 1.5 acre holding are not at all benefited by Green revolution.

In M.P., the impact of green revelation is seen in wheat. After adopting Green revolution , the agriculture output increased.

The agriculturist community has become a dominating community. Thereafter due to the impact of Mahajan & Mandal commission, this community is given reservation. There is political empowerment of farmers but still a long ways to go to achieve the target of Green Revolution.
