ABSTRACT The introduction of hybrid seeds in India has doubled the yield of foodgrains. The High Yielding Variety Seed Program (H.V.P.) has contributed to serious interregional disparities in agriculture. Surplus production of foodgrains is not the true measure of success of the Green Revolution; many areas in India remain unaffected by this program, and are still vulnerable to famines.
