The Green Revolution reached Punjab in the 1960s. After the droughts and food crisis of 1965-66, Mexican high-yielding dwarf wheat varieties developed by Norman Borlaug — Lerma Rojo and Sonora-64, soon followed by the Indian selections Kalyan Sona and PV-18 — were sown in Punjab from the 1965-66 and 1966-67 rabi seasons, under the New Agricultural Strategy piloted by C. Subramaniam and M. S. Swaminathan. The package was seed plus assured irrigation from tubewells, chemical fertiliser, pesticides and tractors, backed by Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana (established 1962) and by minimum support prices announced from 1965-66. Punjab's wheat output roughly trebled within a decade and the state became the country's grain bowl.
Why the others are wrong: in the 1950s India was still relying on land reform, community development and PL-480 wheat imports — the HYV seeds did not exist yet. The 1970s and 1980s saw the consolidation and spread of the revolution (and the shift to paddy), not its introduction. Correct answer: option 2.
