The Green Revolution in India began during Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri's tenure (1964-1966), introducing high-yield variety seeds in 1965-66. Shastri promoted 'Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan' slogan. Indira Gandhi continued and expanded these programs after 1966, but it started under Shastri.
India's Green Revolution — the introduction of high-yield wheat and rice varieties, expanded irrigation, and chemical fertilizers starting in the mid-1960s — is generally credited to having begun under Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri, whose government (with agriculture minister C. Subramaniam) initiated the key policy shifts around 1965-66, even though the fuller rollout and its lasting political credit are often associated with the Indira Gandhi era that followed his sudden death in 1966. For quiz purposes, Shastri is the standard credited answer for when it 'took place'/began.
