Abstract

Abstract The term ‘Green’ in Green Revolution does not refer to its current meaning namely organic, pesticide-free forested etc. Quite the contrary. The term was coined by an official at the U.S. State Department, William Gaud in 1968. It refers to a period in the 60s & 70s, where farmers in India were persuaded to abandon traditional organic methods & grow crops the modern, American way. Farmers stopped growing old-fashioned grains, beans & vegetables & switched to new, high-yield varieties of wheat, rice & cotton. They began using chemical fertilizers instead of cow dung. They ploughed with tractors instead of bulls. In the year 2010 American president Mr. Barak Hussain Obama visited India & said “It’s time for India to enter into 2nd Green Revolution, whole hearted technological support will be given by us.” So the question arises does India really needs a 2nd Green Revolution. This paper will discuss such Grey points of the Green Revolution.
