Write a short note on Mao's Great Leap Forward.

Answer

The Great Leap Forward movement launched in 1958 was a policy to galvanise the country to industrialise rapidly.

People were encouraged to set up steel furnaces in their backyards. In the rural areas, people’s communes (where land would be collectively owned and cultivated) were started. By 1958, there were 26,000 communes covering 98
per cent of the farm population.
