The Bang-Bhang movement was led with three main objectives :

1. To trade and use Indian (Swadeshi) goods only,

2. To boycott imported (British) goods and

3. To acquire national education and boycott English education.

Under the leadership of renowned members like Surendranath Bannerjee, Bipin Chandra Pal, Arvind Ghosh, etc. of the Indian National Congress, a committee was formed to spread the protest against the partition of Bengal by urging Indians to boycott foreign goods.

This message was spread through newspapers, processions and meetings. Factories producing swadeshi goods were set up. Thus there was a sharp decline in the use of foreign. goods. Since many students participated in the protest against the Bang Bhang movement, punitive actions such as expelling them from schools and colleges were levied S by the British government. So, 25 national secondary schools and 300 national primary schools were started in Bengal in 1907 C.E. Rabindranath Tagore had started the ‘Vishwabharti School’ at Shanti Niketan.
