Abstract

Bringing Green Revolution to Eastern India (BGREI) program was implemented in Sonepur district in the year 2011. The presented study was conducted to compare the yield and income between BGREI and Non-BGREI beneficiaries. Forty beneficiaries of BGREI and forty Non-BGREI beneficiaries were randomly selected as respondents. Data were collected with the help of interview schedule by the researcher and for analysis of data t-test was adopted. It was found that there was a significant difference of yield and income per unit land between BGREI beneficiaries and Non-Beneficiaries. The yield and income of BGREI beneficiaries have increased considerably than that of Non-BGREI beneficiaries, because under BGREI program a number of interventions were adopted by the Government to increase the yield and income of farmers.
