Question

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow : The progress of a country, now-a-days, is assessed in terms of economic development that has been achieved, and the measuring rod of economic development is Gross National Product. To Gandhi it was a foreign concept. GNP is rather a fraud upon the people. An increase in GNP in terms of money does not really mean an equitable distribution of money. He had experienced that even with an increase in national income, the poor remain poor Most of the poor live in villages, rather most of the people, in India, live in villages, not in cities. Thus, according to Gandhian Economics, the hub of production should be village, not city. However big the industries may be, due to mechanisation, they just can't absorb the vast humanity in this country. Large scale production is according to him, alien to the very spirit of rural development as it is capital oriented. Since the people are poor they can organise and run only cottage industries. It is realised by the prominent economists that this Gandhian way is the only solution for the mass unemployment in this country. Questions :
