The Anti-Arrack Movement was initiated in which one of the following States of India?
Explanation
The Anti-Arrack Movement was a landmark social movement that originated in 1992 in the Nellore district of Andhra Pradesh. It began spontaneously in the village of Dubagunta, where rural women participating in the National Literacy Mission's adult education program began to discuss the negative impacts of alcohol on their lives. The movement was a protest against the sale of arrack (locally brewed country liquor), which the women linked to domestic violence, poverty, and debt. The agitation spread rapidly across the state, eventually forcing the state government to impose a ban on arrack in 1993. It remains one of the most significant examples of grassroots women's mobilization and collective action in post-independence India.
