Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: A foundation-year question tests the formal constitution of the named organisation, not every earlier local group that preceded it.
The provincial body must also be distinguished from a later all-India organisation with a similar name.
Application: The official BPSC answer key for the 2023 General Studies paper records that the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha was established in 1929. The Bihar government history note likewise states that Swami Sahajanand Saraswati founded the provincial body in 1929, replacing an earlier Munger Kisan Sabha formed in 1922.
Contrast:
1920 and 1924 precede the documented formation of the Bihar Provincial Kisan Sabha.
More than one listed year cannot represent the single formal establishment date.
None of the above does not apply because 1929 is present among the listed dates.
Cross-check: The All India Kisan Sabha was formed later, in 1936; it is distinct from the Bihar provincial body established in 1929.
Result: Therefore, the establishment year was 1929.
