Consider the following events and arrange these in chronological order? I. GaribiHatao II. Bank Nationalization III. Beginning of Green Revolution Select correct answer from the codes given below? Codes :

The correct order is III, II, I, so the answer is C. The Green Revolution began in the mid-1960s with the introduction of high-yielding variety seeds of wheat, around 1966-67 under the new agricultural strategy. The 14 major commercial banks were nationalised in July 1969 through an Ordinance, later enacted as the Banking Companies (Acquisition and Transfer of Undertakings) Act, 1970. Garibi Hatao was Indira Gandhi's central slogan in the 1971 Lok Sabha election.

Why the others fail: option A puts Garibi Hatao first, which would require the slogan to predate the other two events. Option B places bank nationalisation before the Green Revolution, which conflicts with the 1966-67 start. Option D places the 1971 slogan before the 1969 nationalisation.

Core concept: this is a timeline of the Indira Gandhi era, when the Congress shifted toward a socialist, populist agenda with the Green Revolution as its agricultural base. For Mains, it connects to food security and the debate on the Green Revolution's regional and ecological costs.

Trap: the 1980 second phase of bank nationalisation (six more banks) can make candidates date the banking event after 1971. The question refers to the first nationalisation, in 1969.
