Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C), (D)

Presence of co-operative dairy

Mahatma Gandhi envisioned ideal villages with perfect sanitation, cottages with sufficient light and ventilation, cottages with courtyards for planting vegetables for domestic use and housing cattle, houses of worship for all and a common meeting place, a co-operative dairy, primary and secondary schools, and Panchayats for settling disputes. He also envisioned these villages having the ability to produce their own grains, vegetables, and fruit, and khadi. All this was possible through a decentralised system of administration.
