Question

wat is a constructive programme

Answer 1

Constructive programme, in the pre-independence era meant, creating path for self reliance. The radicals criticised Moderates for their “politics of prayers”, and emphasised the importance of self-reliance and constructive work. By constructive work, they argued and believed that people must rely on their own strength, not on the “good” intentions of the government. Constructive programmes could include:

1. Earning livelihood by self-employment.
2. Boycotting foreign goods and clothes.
3. Encouraging native skills.
4. Growing food crops rather than plantation crops.
