Explain various types of revolutions, took place in Agriculture after Independence in India. How these revolutions have helped in poverty alleviation and food security in India?

1, Green revolution: packaged programme, irigation facilities, HYV seeds were component of the revolution. mainly concentarted in the northern part of the country; chemical fertilisers were focussed upon
2. Blue revolution: fisheries production, mainly concentrated on the coastal regions of the country, Kerela, Tamil Nadu, Anodhra pradesh were the focus states. Government policies to increase the productivity of fish culture, ornamental fishing etc. to boost the same.
3. Pink revolution: focussed on meat production, pork, meat etc. after getting approval of APEDA, transported to countries like Indonesia, Phillipines, Middle east. foreign exchange earner, GDP contributer

These revolution helped in poverty alleviation  by multi pronged approach
1. poor farmers made use of HYV seeds, got better return of the farming
2. geographical backwardness removed after using irrigation faiclities, more projects came in that area
3. fisheries prdouctovity helped in better earnign to the poor sea side farmers, fishermen
4. meat produciton helped in btter return (diversified their earning)

food security:
1. population now not only dependent on agriculture products
2. fish, meat etc served their nutrition as well as calorie requirements
3. organisation like WTO, subsidies on public stockholding programme , peace clause achiebved, government committed to the solution of food security,

more need to be done

2. fishing in hinterland states, coordination with coastal states
3. meat production without unethical cattle slaughter programme, prevent cow vigilantes
