Model Answer
The three main economic impacts of the Non-Cooperation Movement were:
- Boycott of foreign goods: People refused to buy British-made cloth and other goods, severely affecting British trade and commerce in India.
- Promotion of swadeshi: Indians adopted indigenous goods, especially hand-spun khadi, boosting local industries and reducing dependence on British products.
- Burning of foreign cloth: Foreign cloth was publicly burnt as a symbol of resistance against Western economic domination, causing significant loss to British textile imports.

Explanation
The examiner expects three distinct, labelled points — one per mark. The source passage references the boycott of foreign goods and Fig. 4 (burning of foreign cloth). Swadeshi promotion is the logical complementary economic impact taught in this chapter. Avoid repeating the same idea in different words. Each point should name the impact and briefly explain its economic significance in one line.
