Model Answer
(a) Place A — Champaran (Bihar)
Gandhiji launched the Champaran Satyagraha in 1917 to support indigo planters (farmers) against the exploitation by British indigo planters.
(b) Place B — Nagpur / Lahore / Calcutta (depending on the session marked on the map — commonly asked sessions are Nagpur 1920 or Lahore 1929)
This is the place where the session of the Indian National Congress was held.

Explanation
- Part (a) is straightforward: Champaran Satyagraha (1917) is the only event linked to Gandhiji + indigo farmers. Always write Champaran, Bihar.
- Part (b) depends on the exact map given in your exam paper. Commonly marked INC sessions in CBSE maps include: Nagpur (1920), Lahore (1929), or Calcutta (1920). Identify the location on the map carefully — Lahore is in the northwest, Nagpur in central India.
- In the board exam, you simply write the name of the place on the line near the marked point. No explanation is needed on the map itself; the identification alone fetches the mark.
