Abstract


The study revealed that such non-mechanical inputs as fertilizers. on the impact of green revolution on labour shave, manures, seeds, pesticides etc. required more labour whereas mechanical inputs like farm machinery, pump sets etc.. required less labour in farm production. Since the Green Revolution brought in more use of both non- mechanical and mechanical inputs, the net effect was found to be reduction of labour in share in the total output. which was the order of 10.01 per cent. If the Green Revolution spreads to other parts of India, the reduction of labour share in the total output might be considerable. Hence the surplus labour may have to be diverted to small scale industries in rural areas. This has to be given due thought by policy makers.
