Question
State two limitations/weaknesses of Green Revolution.
✓

Answer

Limitations of green revolution :
(i) Confined to Food Crops : Green revolution has remained confined to wheat and rice crops only. It did not cover pulses. Progress in our major commercial crops, viz., cotton, jute, oilseeds has been very slow.
(ii) Limited Coverage : The farmers who could benefit from HYV seeds required reliable irrigation facilities and also financial resources to purchase fertilisers and pesticides etc. As a result, the Green Revolution could not be expanded everywhere in the country. Increase in food production has taken place only in Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Western Uttar Pradesh and in some selected districts of Andhra Pradesh. It, thus, has widened regional inequalities.
