Which of the following is NOT a component of the Green Revolution?

The Green Revolution refers to the period (1960s–1980s) when agricultural practices in countries like India were transformed through modern technology, leading to a sharp rise in food grain production.
Main Components of the Green Revolution
High-Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds – especially for wheat and rice.
Chemical fertilizers – to boost soil fertility and crop yields.
Pesticides and insecticides – to protect crops from pests and diseases.
Irrigation facilities – expansion of canals, tube wells, and pumps.
Mechanization of agriculture – use of tractors, harvesters, and other machinery.
NOT a Component
Organic farming / traditional seeds / sustainable practices were NOT part of the Green Revolution.
The focus was on intensive, input-heavy farming using synthetic chemicals and HYV seeds.
Environmental sustainability and ecological balance were not priorities at that time.
Explanation
The Green Revolution was designed to solve food shortages by maximizing production quickly. While it succeeded in making India self-sufficient in food grains, it also led to soil degradation, water depletion, and loss of biodiversity because organic and eco-friendly methods were sidelined.
So, if you’re asked in a multiple-choice format, the correct answer would be something like:
“Organic farming” or “Traditional crop varieties” are NOT components of the Green Revolution.
