Green Revolution and Sustainability Impact in the Indian Economy

Abstract

This work assesses the Indian economy by evaluating the environment, economy, and society. It determines the Green Revolution’s impact on sustainability. Sustainability analysis is wide-ranging and, in its scope, it exposes uneven sustainability prospects across regions, whereby the South region demonstrates environmental resilience that is higher than the North and East regions. The environmental indicators such as soil management, water management and biodiversity are moderately good or good in case of South region. However, the region of East and North have environmental degradation in varying degrees. On the economic side, different metrics are used to show the discrepancies between smallholders and large-scale farmers which means that the former have a lower standard of living and a lack of access to the market. Social indexes emphasise the concept of inequality and insecurity of the North and East region. So, these policies demand the formulation of inclusive policies and targeted programmes in order to rectify the socioeconomic disparities. Therefore, the research reaffirms the significant role of region-specific solutions along with the adoption of up-to-date technologies and progressive developmental strategies in promoting Indian agriculture's progressive transformation.
