The Green Revolution in the 1960s transformed Punjab into:

India's breadbasket
An industrial hub
A center of tourism
A major IT center

The correct answer is: a) India’s breadbasket.

The Green Revolution was a period of agricultural development in the 1960s and 1970s that increased agricultural production through the introduction of new technologies, including high-yield varieties of crops, pesticides, and fertilizers. The Green Revolution was most successful in India, where it helped to increase food production and reduce poverty.

Punjab was one of the states in India that benefited most from the Green Revolution. The state’s agricultural production increased significantly, and it became known as India’s breadbasket. The Green Revolution also helped to improve the lives of many people in Punjab, as it led to increased employment and higher incomes.
