Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The goal of the Green Revolution, which began in the late 1960s, was to achieve self-sufficiency in producing cereals such as rice and wheat. Because only the farmers in Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh initially adopted the modern agricultural technique in India, the initial effects of the Green Revolution were restricted to wheat and only to a few geographical areas. In addition to using HYV seeds, artificial fertilisers, and pesticides in their farming, they used tube wells for irrigation. The cost of using HYV seeds was very expensive. Because of this, many underdeveloped regions and small farmers could not use modern technology. Since HYV seeds necessitate the use of all other contemporary growing methods, it was once out of reach for many rural, underdeveloped communities and small farmers who depended on solar power or had poor farm infrastructure.
