Using the Green Revolution in Indian agriculture as the empirical basis, this article argues for the epistemic significance of technology as a form of knowledge. The concept of technology as knowledge evolved out of the interactive model of the relationship between science and technology. The Green Revolution is generally referred to as the change in agricultural practice experienced in parts of the Third World in recent decades as a result of the introduction of mainly the high-yielding varieties of seeds (HYVs). Using this empirical example, the article proposes that technological change may be conceptualized within an epistemological framework of technological knowledge
