Solution:

Explanation: It does not aims at further increasing the production of wheat and rice in areas already benefited from Green Revolution. In order to meet the food grains requirement of the growing population of the country, the Government of India is laying emphasis on development of resource rich eastern region of the country for enhancing agricultural production. This would also help in reducing the over exploitation of natural resources in north western region, the traditional food bowl of the country. Considering potentiality of increasing production and productivity of food grains in eastern states, "Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern India (BGREI)"- a sub scheme of Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) is being implemented since

2010-11

in seven (7) eastern states of the country namely Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Odisha, Eastern Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal. After implementation of the programme, the production of rice has increased in seven eastern states from 45.65 million tonnes during

2009-10

to 57.18 million tonnes during

2017-18
