Left wing extremism and steps taken
Left-wing extremism, also known as left-wing terrorism or radical left-wing movements, refers to political ideologies and groups that advocate for significant societal and political change through revolutionary means.
LWE organizations are the groups that try to bring change through violent revolution.
They are against democratic institutions and use violence to subvert the democratic processes at the ground level
LWE groups may target government institutions, law enforcement agencies, or private property to further their agenda.
Left wing extremism and steps taken
The origins of the LWE can be traced back to 1967 in the three areas of Naxalbari , Phansidewa and Khoribari in West Bengal's Darjeeling District.
The initial uprising was led by Charu Majumdar, Kanu Sanyal and Jangal Santhal, who were members of the Communist Party of India (Marxist)

It encompasses the entire strategy of government from short-term policy to long-term policy formulated at different levels.
SAMADHAN stands for:
S- Smart Leadership; A- Aggressive Strategy;
M- Motivation and Training; A- Actionable Intelligence; D- Dashboard Based KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) and KRAs (Key Result Areas); H- Harnessing Technology; A- Action plan for each Theatre; N- No access to Financing
