Which of the following was done in Green Revolution?

Solution (By Examveda Team)

After independence food deficiency took place in Punjab because most of the rich lands, irrigation facilities and other rural infrastructure went to West Punjab. To overcome the food problem, Indian Government adopted the new technology called Green Revolution technology during the mid-1960s. Punjab was selected as the first site to initiate Green Revolution because of its three perennial rivers.
The first effort was made through the introduction of high yield crop varieties of wheat introduced by Dr. Norman Borlaug, i.e. the Father of the Green Revolution. Use of chemical fertilizers and increase in irrigation system also help the farmers to produce more crops. The Green Revolution Year of 1966 was a landmark in the history of Punjab on two accounts. The erstwhile Punjab was divided into the states of Punjab and Haryana and Green Revolution technology comprising High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds was introduced.
