D The technological spillovers from the Green Revolution were scattered with some states benefiting more than the others.
According to sources, the Green Revolution had a remarkable impact in the Indian agricultural sector. It helped India to achieve self-sufficiency in food grains. Agricultural productivity increased manifold and the import-burden of food grains decreased. However, the positive impact of the Green revolution were dispersed in India. Relatively, the North-Indian states benefited more due to well-developed irrigation systems. It also had unintended environmental consequences like chemical runoff, soil degradation, and water scarcity.
