Champaran is a district located in the state of Bihar, India. It is known for its rich agricultural land and is primarily an agrarian economy. The region is famous for its production of crops like sugarcane, rice, and wheat. Historically, Champaran gained prominence during the Champaran Satyagraha in 1917, led by Mahatma Gandhi. This movement was aimed at addressing the grievances of indigo farmers who were forced to grow indigo under oppressive conditions imposed by British planters. The struggle marked a significant moment in India's fight for independence.
