Detailed Solution

III. Beginning of Green Revolution: The Green Revolution in India began in the mid-1960s. According to ICAR, the major period of the Green Revolution was 1966-1979. High Yielding Varieties, irrigation, fertilizers and improved agricultural practices led to a rapid increase particularly in wheat and rice production.

II. Bank Nationalization: Thereafter, 14 major commercial banks were nationalised in 1969. The objective was to direct banking resources towards broader economic and social development priorities and expand the banking network.

I. Garibi Hatao: The slogan ‘Garibi Hatao’ is prominently associated with the 1971 General Election. Thus, it comes after both bank nationalisation and the beginning of the Green Revolution.
