Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: A
Explanation

The All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) was established on April 11, 1936, during the Lucknow session of the Indian National Congress [2]. Swami Sahajanand Saraswati, who had previously founded the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha in 1929, was elected as the first President of the AIKS [2]. N.G. Ranga was appointed as the General Secretary [1]. The formation of this pan-India peasant organization was a culmination of radical developments in the agrarian sector, supported by leaders like Ram Manohar Lohia and Jayaprakash Narayan [2]. The first session issued a kisan manifesto and aimed to mobilize peasants against the zamindari system and rural debt [1]. Sahajanand Saraswati is widely recognized as the founder and undisputed leader of this organized peasant movement in India.
