Green Revolution
1.The introduction of high-yielding varieties of seeds and the increased use of fertilizers and irrigation are known collectively as the Green Revolution, which provided the increase in production needed to make India self-sufficient in food grains, thus improving agriculture in India. Hybrid high-yielding wheat was first introduced to India in 1963 by Dr. Borlaug. Borlaug has been hailed as the Father of the Green Revolution but M.S. Swaminathan is known as the "Father of the Green Revolution in India" The methods adopted included the use of high yielding varieties(HYV) of seeds.
2.A Grey Revolution is gathering momentum in India, with the largest highways construction programme in the world, the mushrooming of suburbs, a boom in the retailing and construction industry, and a surge in the demand for homes. Capital formation in public sector projects has grown sharply by 7.2 per cent between the years 2002 and 2003 - an encouraging trend since such projects are the lifeline for job creation in a country like India, because they absorb rural labour and unskilled workers. According to an estimate by the Indian Building Association, during the last 5 years, about US$ 15 billion were spent by the Central Government, just on construction of Power Plants.
3. INDIA recorded a spectacular increase both in area under oilseeds as well as its output, with production doubling from 11 million tonnes in 1986-87 to 22 million tonnes in 1994-95, thereby justifying the term ``yellow revolution''. The near self-sufficie ncy of edible oils was, however, not palatable to the economic pundits and the so-called market forces.
4. round Revolution is the revolution adopted by the Government of India for the increase in production of potato. This revolution aimed to make the production doubled or tripled instead of single annual
