The Refinery Movement in Assam was an agitation, which took place in 1956-57, protesting against the decision of the Union Government to set up a refinery at Barauni in Bihar instead of Assam with the crude oil produced in Assam. At that time, the largest oil field in India since independence was discovered in Naharkatiya, Assam. The new field was expected to produce 1.5 million tonnes of crude oil per annum, which would meet one-third of the country's needs in the next three years. However, with this crude oil, the Assam Oil Corporation advocated to set up refinery in Kolkata and the Government of India in Barauni. [1]
