Which of the following is responsible for green revolution ?
Answer: A
The programme responsible for the green revolution is the HYVP, the High Yielding Varieties Programme.
Launched in 1966-67, the HYVP spread high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice, used with assured irrigation, fertilisers and pesticides. It produced the sharp rise in food grain output, especially of wheat in Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, known as the green revolution.
The Intensive Agricultural Areas Programme came before it as a preparatory step, while the IRDP (Integrated Rural Development Programme, 1978-80) and WDP were later programmes aimed at rural poverty and development, not at raising crop yields.
