Green Revolution and Its Impact on Product ion of Oilseeds in India
Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of Green revolution on the production of Oilseeds as from the inception of independence the foremost view of the government was how to come out from the trap of severe food crisis by removing the prevailing for ever stagnant situation in agriculture. In this study to deliberate the impact of „Green Revolution‟ on area under cultivation, production and yield during the period of 1950 to 2015 in case of Nine Oilseeds and Rapeseed and Mustard, the „Spline Function‟ technique has been taken into consideration which is estimated by simple least square method. The preferred time period is, also divided into three regimes, such as pre Green Revolution (1950-65), first phase of Green Revolution (1965 to 1985) and second phase of Green Revolution (1985-2015). It is found that there is a sharp increase of average area and yield nearly more than two times where as average production has grown up greater than five times for Rapeseed and Mustard in the second phase of Green Revolution. In case of Nine Oil Seeds average area and production also have raised greater than two times. Again the growth rate of both production and productivity has increased significantly for Rapeseed and Mustard during the first phase of Green Revolution almost more than two times. But the growth rate of production and yield of Rapeseed and Mustard have diminished insignificantly during the second phase of Green Revolution or in the regime of Technology Mission on Oilseeds (TMO). This paper has revealed that the seed-water-fertiliser technology cannot sustain the agricultural development with economic development alone if the vital issues (crop diversification, crop insurance, multi-cropping facility, proper marketing system etc.) relating to the problems of farmers are not solved.
