. Discuss the Gandhian perspective on development.

Gandhian model of development is based upon the following salient features:

i. Gandhian Model is totally different from Western materialistic model of development. It gives place of primacy to moral development and ethical view of socio-economic-political development. Truth and non-violence are advocated as the basis of all human activities and decisions.

ii. It stands for complete decentralization of functions and powers with each village acting as a self-regulating and self-sufficient unit of development.

iii. Development must ensure food, clothing, shelter, education and employment for all.

iv. Strong reservation about mechanization and industrialisation. Machines deprive human beings of employment and industrialization generates consumerism and profiteering. Industrialization must be based upon the use of manpower and its aim should be to meet the primary basic needs of all the people.

v. Emphasis upon cottage industries, handicrafts, agriculture and labour.

vi. Total emphasis upon social equality, non-violence, truthful living, social responsibilities, dignity of labour and moral and spiritual happiness. Development has to be measured on the scale of happiness and not consumerism and profit-making.

vii. All development must ensure environmental health and happiness.

viii. Gandhian view of a developed state is a peaceful, happy, non-violent state based on morality and respect for the equal dignity, worth and needs of all the people of society. .
