The Non-Cooperation Movement started in January 1921 and unfolded in towns in the following ways:

(i) There was large-scale participation in the movement by the middle-class people living in cities and towns.

(ii) As the Non-Cooperation Movement began, thousands of people boycotted government-controlled organisations as students left schools and colleges, teachers and headmasters resigned, and lawyers abandoned their legal practices.

(iii) In most provinces except in Madras, people refused to take part in the council elections.

(iv) The Non-Cooperation Movement witnessed the widespread boycott of British goods including mass-produced mill-cloth. Foreign cloth was burnt in huge bonfires and its imports were drastically reduced.

(v) People began rejecting imported clothes and started wearing only Indian ones, as a result of which, the production of Indian textile mills and handlooms went up.
