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).
