Solution:
The Nagpur Conference authorised the Non-Cooperation Movement with the goal of Swarajya, i.e., Indian independence. The movement started with eminent Indian personalities of the time renouncing their titles bestowed by the British.
Foreign items were prohibited, and people left English medium schools and colleges. Swadeshi schools and colleges, such as Jamia-Milia and Gujarat Vidyapiths, were established.
Indians began boycotting eminent English personalities. The Swadeshi propaganda became vigorous in nature which caused the banning of the import of cloth, footwear, and luxurious items from England, causing a huge economic loss to England.
The police opened fire on the protesters, prompting them to attack the police station and set it on fire, killing 21 policemen. When Gandhiji learned of the violence, he immediately suspended the movement. The movement succeeded in raising awareness among the public even though it was unable to achieve its intended goals.
Congress became a thread for people's voices, and many women and young people volunteered to serve their country. National education gained prominence, and Hindi surpassed English in importance. This movement brought people from cities and villages together.
