| Abstract: | Abstract :Mahatma Gandhi believed that the development of India depends on the development of its villages. He advocated local self-government through the concept of Gram Swaraj, where villages function as self-reliant and democratic units. This paper examines Gandhi’s ideas on local governments and their role in sustainable rural development. It discusses the principles of decentralization, democracy, non-violence, equality, and community participation. Gandhi viewed Panchayats as the foundation of grassroots democracy and effective rural administration. The study also highlights the historical evolution of local self-government in India and its connection with Gandhian thought. Furthermore, it analyzes the relevance of Gandhi’s vision in strengthening rural governance and promoting inclusive development. The paper concludes that Gandhi’s model of village-centered governance remains an important framework for sustainable and participatory rural development in contemporary India. |
