Mahatma Gandhi’s approach to development emphasized self-sufficiency, simple living (voluntary limitation of wants), harmonious co-existence with nature, and decentralized village industries (like Khadi) rather than large-scale industrialization and significant participation of private players in that model. Therefore, industrialization and participation of private players is NOT true of his approach.

Gandhi advocated for a village-centric economy based on principles of ‘Sarvodaya’ (welfare of all) and ‘Gram Swaraj’ (village self-rule). His philosophy opposed the negative social and economic consequences of industrial capitalism.

His vision was one of ‘production by the masses’ rather than ‘mass production’, favouring small-scale, labour-intensive technologies suitable for rural settings.
