Question

Arrange the sequence of events in the Green Revolution in correct order:
• [(A)] Dry region spread
• [(B)] New technology introduced
• [(C)] Displacement of service castes
• [(D)] Increasing commercialization

• A. \( \text{B, C, A, D} \)
• B. \( \text{A, B, C, D} \)
• C. \( \text{D, C, A, B} \)
• D. \( \text{B, C, D, A} \)

Hint:

For sequence-based questions on the Green Revolution, remember the logical progression: \[ \text{Technology} \rightarrow \text{Social Change} \rightarrow \text{Expansion} \rightarrow \text{Commercialization} \] This pattern helps solve chronology questions quickly in examinations.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept: The Green Revolution refers to the introduction of modern agricultural technology in India during the 1960s and 1970s to increase food grain production. Major components included:
• High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds
• Irrigation facilities
• Fertilizers and pesticides
• Mechanization The Green Revolution produced both economic and social changes in rural India. To answer this question correctly, we must identify the chronological order in which these developments occurred.

Step 1: Introduction of new technology
The first major event of the Green Revolution was the introduction of:
• HYV seeds
• Tractors
• Tube wells
• Chemical fertilizers Therefore, the process clearly started with: \[ (B) \text{ New technology introduced} \]

Step 2: Displacement of service castes
As mechanization increased:
• Tractors replaced animal labour.
• Machines reduced dependence on traditional village artisans.
• Many service castes lost traditional occupations. Thus, after technology came: \[ (C) \text{ Displacement of service castes} \]

Step 3: Spread to dry regions
Initially, the Green Revolution was concentrated in regions with:
• Good irrigation
• Fertile land Later, technological expansion and irrigation development helped spread agriculture into relatively drier areas. Hence the next stage was: \[ (A) \text{ Dry region spread} \]

Step 4: Increasing commercialization
As production increased:
• Farmers produced more for markets.
• Agriculture became profit-oriented.
• Commercial farming expanded. This resulted in: \[ (D) \text{ Increasing commercialization} \]

Step 5: Writing the correct sequence
Thus, the chronological order becomes: \[ B \rightarrow C \rightarrow A \rightarrow D \] Therefore: \[ \boxed{\text{B, C, A, D}} \] Hence, the correct option is: \[ \boxed{(1)} \]
