Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The slogan 'Garibi Hatao' (Remove Poverty) was famously coined by Indira Gandhi during the 1971 election campaign [1]. While the slogan was introduced during the Fourth Five Year Plan period (1969–1974), it was formally incorporated as a core planning objective in the Fifth Five Year Plan (1974–1979) [2][4]. The Fifth Plan specifically targeted poverty reduction by addressing the consumption needs of the poor and enacting socio-economic reforms [4]. This shift marked the first time poverty alleviation was treated as a distinct planning objective in its own right [4]. Although some sources mention the slogan in the context of the Sixth Plan's targeted approach, the primary historical incorporation of the 'Garibi Hatao' call into formal planning framework is associated with the Fifth Plan's goal of 'Garibi Hatao' and 'Atmanirbharata' (Self-reliance) [2][4].
