Which of the following was not a part of Gandhian Economics Thought?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → Removing Trusteeship Principle
Trusteeship is one of the pillars of Gandhian economic thought: the wealthy hold their wealth as trustees for society and must use it for the common good. Removing that principle is therefore the opposite of what Gandhi taught.
Localisation and indigenisation (swadeshi), reverse migration back to the villages (gram swaraj) and self-reliance (swavalamban) are all genuine Gandhian ideas, and each of them underpins the decentralised, low-footprint village economy he advocated.
