Read the following about the impact of Green Revolution to the farmers in India.
A. The introduction of the Green Revolution helped the farmers in raising their level of income.
B. Farmers ploughed back their surplus income for improving agricultural productivity. Identify the INCORRECT statement/statements.

Correct option is B

The correct answer is (b) Neither A nor B.
· Statement A: The introduction of the Green Revolution in India indeed helped farmers raise their level of income. The Green Revolution brought high-yield variety (HYV) seeds, modern irrigation techniques, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides, significantly increasing agricultural productivity. This led to higher crop yields and, consequently, higher incomes for farmers, particularly in regions like Punjab, Haryana, and western Uttar Pradesh.
· Statement B: This statement is also correct. Many farmers who benefited from the Green Revolution did plow back a portion of their surplus income into improving agricultural productivity. They invested in better farming equipment, irrigation facilities, and purchasing more land. This reinvestment further amplified agricultural productivity, contributing to sustained growth in their income levels.
