520			_aThe Green Revolution which is per haps no longer that green, was responsible for introducing revolution ary changes in the social structure of the rural society in the mid-sixties and also made India self-sufficient in food production. Apart from bringing improvements in incomes and provid ing stimulus to employment, trade and business, it resulted also in accentu ating social inequalities and social ten sions in the countryside. However, documentation of these effects received very little attention and very meagre literature is available on differ ent facets of it. Based on the nationwide experience, the book attempts to present a coher ent picture of what actually happened in the rural society and economy. Con sisting of twenty-one papers, very few of them published earlier, it addresses itself to such questions as: was the Green Revolution a nation-wide phe nomenon? Have we been able to reap all the fruits of the green revolution? How has it affected the poorer sections of the community? What has been its impact on rural women and house holds? Using interdisciplinary approach, the book provides a com prehensive analysis and new per spectives concerning such issues, problems and consequences of the Green Revolution.
