    Question

    Indira Gandhi got the Congress working committee to adopt the ten-point programme in __________ 

    A.

    April 1967 

    B.

    May 1967 

    C.

    June 1967 

    D.

    July1967

    Correct option is B

    The Ten-Point Programme was adopted by the Congress Working Committee (CWC) in May 1967.
    It included measures such as land reforms, nationalization of banks, ceiling on urban property, provision of house sites for rural poor, and abolition of princely privileges, among others.
    This programme was part of Indira Gandhi's strategy to strengthen her position within the Congress party and appeal to the masses, especially after the party's poor performance in the 1967 general elections.
    Thus, the correct month and year are May 1967.

    Information Booster:-

    Key Features of the Ten-Point Programme (1967):

    1. Nationalization of general insurance and banks (eventually leading to the nationalization of 14 banks in 1969).
    2. Ceilings on urban property and income to reduce wealth concentration.
    3. Public sector development and its expansion.
    4. Land reforms and redistribution of land.
    5. Abolition of princely privileges (Privy Purses).
    6. Regulation of monopolies and prevention of economic concentration.
    7. Social control over private industry.
    8. Legislation for workers' rights.
    9. Expansion of rural employment programs.
    10. Stronger steps to control food shortages and inflation.

    This programme paved the way for Indira Gandhi’s  "Garibi Hatao"  (Remove Poverty) slogan in the 1971 elections and shaped India's socialist economic policies during her tenure.
