Question

What were the main reasons for the student movement in Bihar?

Answer 1

There was no improvement in the socio-economic condition of the country in the years after 1971-72. The economy crumbled further due to refugees from Bangaldesh. The unexpected rise in oil prices in the international market unbalanced India's economic condition. Due to the failure of monsoon in 1972-73 AD. There was a significant reduction in agricultural production across the country.

As a result, these was an atmosphere of discontent throughout the country. In march 1974, the students of Bihar started a movement against the government due to employment and corruption and shortage of feed grains and unexpected increase in prices in the state. The students of Bihar launched their agitation and Jay Prakash Narayan was invited in the scene.
