# Why Did India’s Green Revolution Benefit Some Regions More Than Others?

[India’s Green Revolution](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/117783/how-did-indias-green-revolution-affect-farmers-outside-the-main-wheat-growing-regions) is often described through higher crop yields, but the gains were not shared evenly across the country. Punjab and Haryana are frequently discussed alongside regions where the changes were slower or less extensive.

What combination of irrigation access, crop choices, infrastructure, and government policy helps explain these regional differences? I’m also interested in how historians distinguish the immediate production gains from the longer-term effects on farming communities.
