Discuss the salient feature of Gandhi's non-industrial model of development.

Gandhi's non-industrial model of development, often termed as the "village economy" or "Sarvodaya" (universal upliftment), emerged in the context of his vision for an independent, self-sufficient India that would be free from the industrial exploitation and environmental degradation associated with colonial rule. His model offered a stark contrast to the industrialized, Western capitalist model that emphasized mass production, mechanization, and urbanization. Gandhi’s ideas on development were rooted in his spiritual and philosophical beliefs, particularly his emphasis on non-violence (Ahimsa), truth (Satya), self-reliance (Swadeshi), and the holistic approach to human well-being.

At the heart of Gandhi’s non-industrial model was the concept of decentralization. He advocated for a decentralized political and economic structure where the villages, rather than cities or large factories, were the main units of production. This decentralized vision was not only about governance but also about how economic activities should be organized. Gandhi believed that economic self-sufficiency at the village level would empower local communities, reduce dependence on external markets, and create a more equitable distribution of wealth. 

A significant feature of his model was the promotion of traditional, small-scale, sustainable, and non-mechanized forms of production. Instead of large-scale industrialization, Gandhi championed the revival of handcrafts and cottage industries like hand spinning, weaving (khadi), ________ __________ __________ _______ __________ ________ ________ _________ ________ _____.
