Read the given paragraph and answer the following questions.

The Civil Disobedience Movement, a pivotal episode in India's struggle for independence, was initiated following the Indian National Congress's session in Lahore in December 1929 under Jawaharlal Nehru's presidency. The session saw the adoption of the Poorna Swaraj (complete independence) resolution, in reaction to the British government's rejection of the Nehru Report. Consequently, January 26, 1930, was declared as Independence Day, a precursor to the future Republic Day commemorating the enactment of the Indian Constitution in 1950. The movement notably escalated with Gandhi's Dandi March on March 12, 1930 from Sabarmati Ashram. Accompanied by 79 followers, Gandhi trekked 200 miles to Dandi, overtly defying the British-imposed salt laws on April 6, 1930, thereby formally activating the Civil Disobedience Movement, a significant stride towards India's eventual liberation from colonial rule.
