What were the achievements and limitations of the Green Revolution in India?

The Green Revolution introduced high-yielding seeds, chemical fertilisers, irrigation, and modern machines.

• Food grain production, especially wheat and rice, increased greatly.
• India became self-sufficient in food and reduced dependence on imports.
• However, excessive use of chemicals reduced soil fertility.
• Overuse of water caused depletion of groundwater.
• Chemical pollution affected soil, water, and human health.

While the Green Revolution solved food shortages, it created long-term environmental problems.
