Gandhi @ 150 explores the relevance of Mahatma Gandhi's ideas in todays world and the impact of his philosophy across a wide spectrum of areas such as religion, economics, science, education, the arts and health and development. In this book, the contributors explain how certain Gandhian concepts can be used for our nations advancement. For example, 'Gandhian engineering can help boost India's progress with its focus on getting more from fewer resources for more people. In addition, the gram swaraj approach alone can stop the mass exodus of youth from villages to cities in search of jobs—a major worry for urban planners and village economies today. These are just a few of the many applicable solutions based on Gandhi's ideas you will come across in these pages.
