# Why Did the Green Revolution Benefit Some Indian Regions More Than Others?

The Green Revolution is often described as a major turning point in Indian agriculture, but its gains weren’t distributed evenly. Punjab and Haryana are usually central to the story, while other states followed different paths.

How much of that gap came down to irrigation, access to new seeds and fertilisers, government procurement, or local farming conditions? I’m interested in the regional impact of Green Revolution policies and how historians weigh those factors against one another.
