  • (A) Large dependence on manual labour
  • (B) Poor storage facilities
  • (C) Poor farm managements and administration
  • (D) All of the above
Show Answer Discuss Share
Correct Answer - Option (D)

Explanation:

The Green Revolution in India mainly benefited wealthier and large-scale farmers in states like Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh. It did not equally benefit small and marginal farmers due to several reasons:

  1. Large dependence on manual labour – Many farmers could not afford mechanization, fertilizers, and irrigation, leading to lower yields.
  2. Poor storage facilities – Lack of proper storage led to significant post-harvest losses.
  3. Poor farm management and administration – Small farmers lacked access to credit, modern farming techniques, and government support.

Thus, all these factors limited the impact of the Green Revolution to a small section of India.
