two north indian states where green revolution took place
Green Revolution in India The Green Revolution in India refers to a period of time when agriculture in India changed to an industrial system due to the adoption of modern methods and technology such as high yielding variety (HYV) seeds, tractors, irrigation facilities, pesticides, fertilizers etc. This was part of the larger Green revolution started by Norman Borlaug, which leveraged agricultural research and technology to increase agricultural productivity in the developing world. Within India, this started in the early 1960s and led to an increase in food grain production, especially in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh during the early phase. The main development was higher-yielding varieties of wheat,[2] and rust resistant strains of wheat.[3]
