Gandhian Approach towards Inclusive Growth

Abstract

Humanity is advancing towards the 21^st century with an unprecedented growth of industrialization and technological progress. The dynamics of heavy industrialization and technological development have far-reaching effects on the modern society and poses great threat and fear rather than hope and happiness.  It reduces the significance of man’s life into the mechanical drudgery. The heavy industrialization is vulnerable and leads to several evils. It is confronting with the unprecedented crisis caused by violence, terrorism, ecological imbalance and insecurity. In this regard a possible way out is required for the humankind. In this context, I am going to present a paper on “Gandhian Approach towards Inclusive Growth”. It is a fact that, Gandhi did not draw any line of separation between mundane and transcendental. He formulated a pattern and a structure basing on his series of experiments with regard to the moral, religious, socio-economic and political spheres by upholding the individual dignity. He desired to maintain a harmonious balance among the social, economic, political and moral spheres to avoid possible domination of one over the other. He did not want human life to be bifurcated into water tight compartments.
