Explanation:

- The 1957 option is incorrect. During this period, India was focusing on building its infrastructure and agrarian economy post-independence, but the 'Garibi Hatao' slogan was not yet coined.

- The 1962 option is also incorrect. This was a year of military focus due to the India-China war, and poverty alleviation wasn't projected with the 'Garibi Hatao' slogan.

- The 1977 option is incorrect as well. By this time, Indira Gandhi was dealing with the aftermath of the Emergency, and the slogan had already been used in earlier elections.

- 1971 is the right answer. Indira Gandhi’s Congress Party launched the 'Garibi Hatao' slogan as part of its campaign to gain a decisive victory in the Lok Sabha elections.
