Hello
It is true that India is now self sufficient the plan of green revolution is a successful plan but I think we did not get complete success as the farmers who are backbone of this success suffering from lot of problems. They do not have sufficient food for themselves and their family than how can we say that we achieve the goal of green revolution.It is the failure of system because of which many farmers are dying of hunger they have no choice other than committing suicide. According to me aim of Green Revolution till not be achieve until each and every person of India get the three times food daily.

Hello
India is a great country and depend on agriculture very much or you can say completely.
Agriculture has played a key role in the development of human civilization. Until the Industrial Revolution, the vast majority of the human population labored in agriculture. Development of agricultural techniques has steadily increased agricultural productivity, and the widespread diffusion of these techniques during a time period is often called an agricultural revolution. A remarkable shift in agricultural practices has occurred over the past century in response to new technologies. In particular, the Haber-Bosch method for synthesizing ammonium nitrate made the traditional practice of recycling nutrients with crop rotation and animal manure less necessary.
India's food-grains production has hovered around a fifth of a billion tonnes mark in recent years. More than self-sufficient, India frequently exports its surpluses. India in 55 years has emerged from famine ridden colonial times, as a famine free Republic. Its population has nearly tripled in that period. More significantly, India in 1947,lost some of its most fertile lands. But she has managed to stand up and falsify many prophesies of doom. India was the greatest success story of the Green Revolution. Although today her agriculture is at a cross-roads again, the Green Revolution of the sixties gained some crucial decades for India in which to rethink her way forward. The Revolution is also worth remembering for India's capacity for collective action. Pause a while therefore, before you decry India's administration for every ill in the land.

Yes This is true. India has enough farms and farmers that it can survive without any help from foreign countries. You all must be aware about India was called as "Golden Bird" in ancient times. These are the english people who made us measureable and we are still fighting for that.
We need to use the products made in india only to become as we are in ancient time.

Yes, India is good enough to produce the required grains. As India has different States with Diffrent weather and Soil, its easy to grow grains as per the weather.
Like:
Assam, Darjeeling :: TEA
West Bengal :: Rice, Potato etc
Jamshedpu, Mumbai : Oil

India is a great country with more 70% of the people are doing agriculture . I think after the invent of the green revolution and the techniques of the biotechnology, India is self sufficient on the food grains now. I am very much proud of it , because in the past many people have lost their lives because of starvation and now we have enough food grains to feed our country and in my state i am getting a rice for Re. 1/kg. And now the central government have also followed the same thing , but is providing rice at a higher price.
Our production have increased a lot but we are not able to save the lives of many farmers because they are not getting the profits which the middle merchants gets. We all should be aware that agriculture is the industry where not all the products are sold , there are many waste products like the husk etc.., unlike the other industries. Farmers are badly hit by the drought and floods . It is not the industry where the people get the profits with 10 days or a month , it may take anywhere between 3 months to 9 months , so we must over come all the losses that occur within this time period
I think the government should provide more schemes and should get the products from the farmers at the higher rates and must compensate any losses occurring during the time period

Yes.You are right. We are having big land scape, large population, lot of resources. But nobody shows the intrest to organise all. No body there to help the formers. So they shiting their generation to various field.
Now see what happened? Price hike...
The government also indirectly squeeze formers by introducing a scheme which gives money without working... so getting people for work turns difficult...
Those days were not long... We will feel on that day.

Hi,
It has been realised that there are limits to
increasing the foodgrains production through
increase in area under cultivation because the
country has almost reached a plateau in so far
as cultivable land is concerned . The contribution of high yielding varieties which has been the basis of green revolution in Seventies
has now plateaued and there is hardly any fresh
contribution to growth in yields. There is a new
awareness that a substantial proportion of food
crop output is lost after harvest. ‘A grain saved
is grain produced’ should be India’s motto as
ten per cent of the foodgrains produced in the
country is lost before it reaches the consumer.

Food production has been one of the major concerns for Indian political climate. Major agricultural changes and policies were initiated to bring more agricultural productivity in India. Union Government also addresses this issue in their five year plans to bring in more growth in Agricultural sector. Yet, the result seems to be slower agricultural growth and lack of proper vision & implementation. Major areas of concerns like availability of water,improper distribution of water through water channels, water pollution, land pollution,population growth, migration of rural mass to urban life, attraction towards industry and manufacturing sector, and increasing rural poverty are prominent in this country. Authors have highlighted with empirical evidence on above mentioned issues and bring to notice that it is mandatory to consider these points into their future policies. Authors have also pointed out that unless agricultural productivity increases, Average Indian poverty statistics is going to increase. It is important to keep these figures intact by tapping the growth potentials in this agricultural sector. India by 2030, manage to be first in population, yet food production is going to be a problem if current trend going to continue. Authors have also given some recommendations and suggestions to build strong agricultural productivity and revive theindustry soon.
