Feeling the ‘Pulses’ for the Second Green Revolution
During the last few decades there has been a frustrating call, rather a cry, for a repeat of the green revolution that our country experienced between 1960s and 1980s. It is widely acknowledged by experts that this cry emerges due to two related problems; first, the green revolution that accelerated the food production of the country lost its steam within a couple of decades and second, the tools, techniques and wherewithal used during this first phase of green revolution were no more sufficient to keep the steam on. Clearly, if we do not address these problems immediately and fail to re-accelerate the pace of green revolution, the increasing gap between the demand for, and production of food grains would begin to haunt our country again. In other words the country is looking towards another revolution - aptly termed as second green revolution. While efforts are on to prepare the ground for this second phase, or for an 'Ever Green Revolution', it would be wise to introspect the reasons for the deceleration of the first phase.
