520			_aIndian agriculture since Independence has travelled a long way. There were years of bumper harvests followed by huge short falls caused mainly by the failures of the monsoons. The Agricultural strategy adop ted during the Five Year Plan periods over the years has made a mark in the develop ment of agriculture in our country. The use of fertilizers, mechanised im plements and tools, high yielding varieties of seeds and better credit facilities to de vise ways and means to bring about sub stantive and structural improvements in farm practices have been helpful in raising both the produce and productivity of food grains and is termed as 'New Technology' or the 'Green Revolution.' Haryana which accounts for 1.34% of the total geographi cal area of the country, is ranked fifth in regard to its per capita income and what was once a deficit state in food-grains has marched rapidly on the path of progress since its inception. The sturdy Haryanvi farmers have adopted the new farm tech nology, used thriftily the availability of extended irrigation and credit facilities and suitable infrastructure and thereby tackled the entire gamut of agricultural problems in such a way that the State stands second in its per capita income and is a major contributor of wheat and paddy to the cen tral pool of buffer stock of foodgrains. This phenomenal increase in the income of the people of Haryana as a result of the green revolution has benefited not only all cat egories of the farmers of the State but also all strata of its society. The exact extent and degree of the impact of the 'Green Revolution' on various facets of the life of the people of Haryana has been discussed threadbare in the present volume by emi nent scholars in the field of agriculture and social sciences.
