Given below are two statements, one labelled as Assertion (A) and the other one is Reason (R). Assertion (A): Green revolution in India instead of removing the earlier inequalities generated further inequalities. Reason (R): As the benefits of green revolution was proportionate to resource ownership portion, large farmers appropriated the lion's share of the new measures. In the context of the above two statements, which among the following is correct?
Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
The high yielding variety programme launched in the mid 1960s demanded a package of assured irrigation, chemical fertiliser, pesticide and credit. These inputs were affordable mainly to farmers with larger holdings in Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, so productivity and marketable surplus rose sharply for them while small and marginal cultivators lagged behind.
Rural sociologists such as Francine Frankel and Utsa Patnaik documented that the new technology was scale neutral in engineering but scale biased in economic access, deepening interregional and interclass disparity in the countryside. The Reason therefore states the exact mechanism by which the Assertion holds.
Hence, both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
