Which one among the following was not a programme adopted by the Congress while launching the non-cooperation movement ?

The Non-Cooperation Movement (NCM), launched in 1920, included the surrender of titles, boycott of government schools, colleges, law courts, and legislative councils [3]. It also emphasized the boycott of foreign goods and official functions [2]. While the Nagpur Congress session of December 1920 mentioned that the second stage of the movement could include civil disobedience through the non-payment of taxes, this was not part of the initial programme adopted at the launch [2]. The refusal to pay revenues is specifically associated with the Civil Disobedience Movement (1930) or localized peasant struggles like Bardoli. During the NCM, Gandhi and the Congress focused on non-cooperation with the administrative and educational machinery rather than a nationwide tax strike, which was reserved as a future extreme step that was largely preempted by the movement's suspension after the Chauri Chaura incident [2].
