"Life of people has sucked in the period before the green revolution and even after it"

 Green Revolution is the revolution in agriculture around the world

Green Revolution involves the supply of  modern practices such as water, fertilizer, and chemical pesticides

The period in the 1960’s was known as the green revolution. Green means green color and revolution means great development. Combining green and revolution makes the green revolution.

Green revolution refers to the great advancement in the production of food crop and, crop production has improved so much so to the level that farmers saw their excess produce ready to be sold out into the market.

Crop yields prior to the Green Revolution was very poor

Prior to the Green Revolution people in the then underdeveloped countries like India, Pakistan, Nepal, Nigeria, the Philippines, and several other newly independent nations were living in half stomach poverty and they never had enough food to eat because their cultivation did not produce enough food to support their own nation.

people life was sucked by hunger in the period before the green revolution

Due to the poor productivity of crops, people have no time to maintain cleanliness because the food is more important than anything else. Famine and begging and pickpocketing were other typical features of this period.

Green revolution time and beyond

With the international cooperation of agriculture scientists from around the world, new kind of crops called High Yielding Varieties (HYV) seeds were developed. The discovery of the HYV crops led to the many-fold increase in the food crop production in all those countries around the world. This era of rapid advancement in agriculture methods marked a clear distinction from a period before it. Hence to commemorate this period of growth the people called this as the Green Revolution.

Green Revolution means more yields

Technically Green Revolution refers to the improvement in the productivity of agricultural produce. It involves the emergence of a large number of fertilizer industries, the appearance of the seeds production companies and the beginning of the decrease of the malnourished people.

The green revolution is one of the greatest important development. It alone is the demarcating line between a poor, sick and underdeveloped colonialism period and the modern world of the 20th century.

life of people has still sucked even in periods after the green revolution.

People got plenty of food to eat as a direct result of the revolution and they also get all those lifestyle problems like obesity, diabetes heart attack which was rare before.

Whether with or without the green revolution peoples life continues to face challenges. The problems our forefathers faced before we do not face them today. But, what we face now are partially what we made for ourselves with our style and standard of living. However, we can't deny the truth that facing the slow death of the modern world in the form of deteriorating health issues is more bearable than facing it with a bare empty stomach. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is, therefore, the only choice to remain blessed with all these discoveries.

This type of soil is mostly found near the old river banks in the plains or in the upper reaches of rivers. Based on the age of formation and their fertility, alluvial soils are grouped into two groups viz - Bangar alluvial soil and Khadar alluvium . Bangar Old alluvial is full of rock and gravel in upper reaches of Brahmaputra in Assam The river course always changes with the change of time. The river bank will not follow the same reute forever. When its bank becomes shallow as a result of too much deposits the river will change its course and this leads to the lesser deposits of the new alluvial soil in the bank.
