Gandhian Principles in DPSP

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Rooted in Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of rural development, social harmony, and self-reliance. They advocate the organization of village panchayats, promotion of cottage industries, prohibition of intoxicating drinks, and improving the condition of Scheduled Castes and Tribes. Although not judicially enforceable, these directives have propelled schemes like the Panchayati Raj system and khadi promotion. They emphasize uplifting the marginalized and rekindling India’s rural economy, keeping true to the Gandhian ideal of “Gram Swaraj” or self-sufficient village communities that function democratically and prioritize sustainable livelihoods.
