The Quit India Movement in the Tamluk subdivision of Bengal's Purba Midnapore district witnessed crucial events and contributed significantly to the freedom struggle at the national level. Tamluk's Subdivisional Congress Committee was actively functioning, with well-organised Thana Congress Committees under it. Further, they had 52 primary Congress Committees.
When the Defence of India Act was imposed, activities of the Congress in Midnapore were impacted as well. Despite the restrictions, the Congress workers constantly urged and motivated people to continue their resistance against the British forces. They also appealed to the general public to be self-reliant in terms of food and other essential items within the subdivision.
Volunteers were raised and trained in large numbers. A two-month-long training camp was conducted at Sutahata Gandhi Ashram for the women workers. Khadi was given due importance in the period. Workers were trained and Khadi centers were set up in the subdivision. Schools were also opened to impart Hindi language education. Several remarkable social and political developments took place between August 1942 and September 1944 in the Tamluk Subdivision.
