The greatest challenges facing the nation in the coming years will be to provide safe food for the growing population in the country. In this regard the green revolution was initiated in the late 60’s and it has played a leading role in making the country self-sufficient in food grains. The technology of the Green Revolution involved bio-engineered seeds that worked in conjunction with chemical fertilizers and heavy irrigation to increase crop yields. The technology was readily adopted in Deoria district and was a great success in the beginning. However, there were many farmers who could not afford the inputs necessary to participate in the Green Revolution but as they started their margin of profit get effected. Even their land had the adverse effect of the green revolution. This study is based on primary survey work of 90 farmers and their experiences from the five villages (Kanhauli, Tendua, Siswa , Sonbarsa , and Sahiya) of Deoria District. This paper will analyze the negative impact of the Green Revolution on small farmers and their agricultural land.
