No, the Green Revolution was not equally successful. In the year 1965 - 66 the production of pulses and wheat was equal at 10 million tonnes, but in the year 2017 - 18 , the production of pulses was just 24 million tonnes which are totally negligible, and production of wheat increased greatly by 97 million tonnes.
