These inputs were easily available in at least parts of the states of, and western thus, yields increased most in these states. In other states, such as and n areas where these inputs were not assured, the results were limited or negligible, leading to considerable variation in crop yields within these states. The Green Revolution also increased income disparities: higher income growth and reduced incidence of poverty were found in the states where yields increased the most and lower income growth and little change in the incidence of poverty in other states
The introduction of after 1965 and the increased use and are known collectively as the, which provided the increase in production needed to make self-sufficient in food grains, thus improving, once accepted as inevitable, has not returned since the introduction of Green Revolution crops. This movement is now under fire, and is blamed for the spread of Land Degradation in India due to excessive use of fertilizers, pesticides, etcOf the high-yielding seeds, wheat produced the best results. Production of coarse grains- the staple diet of the poor- and pulses -the main source of- lagged behind, resulting in reduced per capita availability (AIR) played a vital role in creating awareness for these methods. Along with high yielding seeds and irrigation facilities, the enthusiasm of farmers mobilized the idea of agricultural revolution and is also credited to All India Radio. .
