Gandhian Model for Rural Development: Relevance after Economic Reform

Dr. Poonam Singh

Abstract :

This article is an attempt to characterize the rural development approach evolved in Gandhian Philosophy and explained its significance in this globalised era. The series of ideas stemming from Gandhi have provided the theoretical ground for hundreds of thousands of grass root development activities all over the world. There is a lot of argument regarding the applicability of the Gandhian thought in village development across the world. The study concluded that the Gandhian model would be much reliable to reduce the gap between the well–offs and havenots, instead of replicating the Western models of economic development. Gandhiji’s ideas are more relevant today than ever before, specially his philosophy of self–reliance and decentralization.
