SSC CGL 2024 PYQ — Question 31

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. It is a new strategy in agriculture to produce food grains, especially wheat and rice.

The Green Revolution refers to a significant shift in agricultural practices aimed at increasing food production, particularly of staple crops like wheat and rice. Initiated in the mid-20th century, it involved the introduction of high-yielding variety (HYV) seeds, improved irrigation techniques, and the use of fertilizers and pesticides. This revolution played a crucial role in enhancing food security, especially in developing countries, and helped prevent famine in regions with rapidly growing populations. While it led to increased productivity, the Green Revolution also raised concerns about environmental sustainability and the socio-economic impacts on small farmers and rural communities.
