उत्तर
Before the advent of Green Revolution, a large proportion of agricultural produce was consumed by the farmers themselves instead of being sold in the market. Green Revolution led to an increase in the growth of agricultural output.
After the Green Revolution, a greater proportion of the agro-produce (wheat and rice) was sold by the farmers in the market. That led to the attainment of marketed surplus and converted India into a food surplus economy from the food scarce one.
