Solution

The ‘Great Leap Forward’ policy was introduced by Mao Zedong in 1958 in China. It aimed to rapidly transform the country from an agrarian economy to a socialist industrial society through the collectivization of agriculture and large-scale rural industrial projects. The policy, however, resulted in significant economic hardships and a devastating famine, leading to its eventual failure.
