Explanation:

- During the first phase of the Green Revolution (1966-72) in India, high yielding varieties of food grains, particularly wheat and rice, were introduced.

- Punjab and Haryana were the primary states where these high yielding varieties were implemented.

- These regions were chosen due to their supportive infrastructure, irrigation facilities, and cooperative farming practices.

- Though Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu also adopted elements of agricultural improvements, they were not the primary focus during the first phase of the Green Revolution.
