Explain the statement that green revolution enabled the government to procure sufficient food grains to build its stocks that could be used during times of shortage.

Solution

This statement rightly said that at present India has enough stock of food grains that can be utilised during the period of emergencies. This all has resulted due to the successful implementation of 'Green Revolution'. Green Revolution has enabled the farmers to produce a lot (especially in the field of wheat and rice) of food grains, save for own consumption and bring the marketable surplus (extra production) the market. The government purchases food grains either straight from the farmers or from the market at minimum prices ' declared by it from time to time and maintains 'Buffer Stock'. Now, we have no more to be dependent on America or other countries for the supply of food grains, we have become self-reliant mainly in the field of producing food grains because we have not only built up buffer stock of food grains for our consumption but also become exporter of food grains to other under developed nations.
