 1. Write a short note on the start of green revolution.
Green Revolution refers to a significant improvement in agricultural production. Green
Revolution occurred as a result of the adoption of the “new agricultural strategy” in
1964-65. The new strategy envisaged raising farm output through the use of High-
Yielding Varieties (HYV) seeds, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, modern implements
and machinery, multiple cropping, irrigation facilities and agricultural credit.
necessity for new agricultural strategy arose out of the need to increase agricultural
production in the face of stagnation of production and rapidly increasing demand.
The government introduced an intensive development program in seven districts in
1960 and this program was named Intensive Agriculture District Program (IADP).
This program was an intensive effort for immediate increase in agricultural production in
selected areas where, irrigation and assured rainfall, made conditions favorable. It
also included the provision for the supply of inputs like credit, fertilizers, seeds, plant
protection and minor irrigation. The seven districts selected were West Godavari,
Shahabad, Raipur, , Ludhiana, Aligarh and Pali. The first four were selected for rice,
the next two for wheat and the last one for millets. In 1964-65, the program was
extended to rest of the country as Intensive Agricultural Area Program(IAAP). The
period of mid-1960s was very significant from the point of view of agriculture. New
high-yielding varieties of wheat put into practice in the Kharif season of 1966 and
were termed High-Yielding Varieties Program (HYVP). This was a package program
since it depended crucially on irrigation, fertilizers, and high-yielding varieties of
seeds, pesticides and insecticides.

Initially it was implemented in a total area of 1.89 million hectares. On the eve of the
Fourth Plan, the coverage had expanded to be 9.2 million hectares. In 1989- 90 total
area was 63.8 million hectares, almost 35 per cent of gross cropped area.

2. Study population pyramid of any 5 countries.

A population pyramid illustrates the age and sex structure of a country's
population and may provide insights about political and social
stability, as well as economic development. The population is
distributed along the horizontal axis, with males shown on the left
and females on the right. The male and female populations are
broken down into 5-year age groups represented as horizontal
bars along the vertical axis, with the youngest age groups at the
bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the population
pyramid gradually evolves over time based on fertility, mortality,
and international migration trends.
