Question

“The Green Revolution was only grain revolution”. Write a fact in favour of this statement along with a reason.

Answer 1

Fact: The Green Revolution mainly focused on wheat and rice production.

Reason: The use of HYV seeds, fertilizers, and irrigation was largely applied to wheat (especially in Punjab and Haryana) and rice (in limited areas). Other crops like pulses, oilseeds, and coarse grains were mostly ignored, so the revolution mainly benefited grain crops, especially wheat.
