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.
