Rationale behind Constructive Programme of Gandhi ji
  • Though he had formally categorised constructive programme in 1941, he started his constructive activities during Champaran Satyagraha by establishing schools, health and hygiene programmes.
  • Gandhi had listed 18-point programme but these were only illustrative and were not meant to be comprehensive and exhaustive.
  • There was enough scope to add or subtract activities based on local needs. Gandhi's 18-point programme may be broadly classified into Social (Communal Harmony, Removal of Untouchability, Prohibition, Women, Students, Kisan, Labour, Adivasis And Lepers); Economical (Khadi, Other Village Industries And Economic Equality), Education (Basic Education, Adult Education, National Language And Provincial Language) and Health (Village Sanitation And Hygiene And Health).
