Solution

Dear Student,
Demerits of Green Revolution:

  • Poor farmers could not afford HYV seeds, fertilizers and machinery.
  • Some borrowed and ended up with large debts
  • HYV seeds need more water and fertilizer, which is expensive
  • New machinery replaced manual labour leading to unemployment and rural-urban migration
  • The Green Revolution was limited to rice and wheat only.
​​​​​​​Regards
