Question

Which of the following is/are not a benefit of Green Revolution?

विकल्प

• Increase in marketed surplus

• Increase in price of foodgrains

• Buffer stock

• Self-sufficiency in foodgrains

Answer 1

Increase in price of foodgrains

Explanation:

The Green Revolution led to a substantial rise in crop production, resulting in increased marketed surplus and enabling the government to build buffer stocks. It made India self-sufficient in foodgrains, reducing dependency on imports. Also, due to increased supply, the prices of foodgrains declined, benefiting low-income groups rather than increasing prices.
