The Fundamental Principles of Planning
It should be a postulate of national planning that at present all can and
should be provided full employment. Let them do it with such tools and
machineries as are capable of it. However, if only some can be provided
work on the plea of efficiency, it would not be national but partial
planning. S.V.-1011
The government plans ought to give the first priority to the raising up
of the lowest, the poorest and the most depressed. S.V.-1012
Planning must primarily mean employment and food to everyone. They talk of
raising the standard of living. No one would object to it, if could be
done, but before we talk of increasing the standard of living, we have to
assure ourselves that we shall first live. Let us first assure minimum
livelihood to all. S.V.-1016
A society based on non-violence cannot function through intermediate
agencies. To bring about such a society, village industries should thrive.
All should get food and all must work. The economy of the nation should be
planned on the lines of a joint family. S.V.-1017
