Question

Who amongst the subsequent drafted the ‘Sarvodaya Plan’?
A. MN Roy.
B. Jai Prakash Narayan.
C. Moraji Desai.
D. Shriman Narayan Aggarwal.

Answer 1

Hint: The movement is predicated on Buddhist and Gandhian principles. It was named by Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, the terms Sarvodaya means ('welfare for all'), and the swaraj for (self-governance). The word shramadana means 'gift of labour'. Collectively, the name 'Sarvodaya Shramadana' means 'welfare for during our shared labour'.

Complete answer:
Jai Prakash Narayan drafted the ‘Sarvodaya Plan’ in 1950. Sarvodaya is the Sanskrit term that means 'universal uplift' or the 'progress of all'. The term was employed by Gandhi because of the title of his 1908 translation of John Ruskin's tract on economics, Unto This Last, and Gandhi came to use the term for the perfect of his own political philosophy.

Later Gandhi's followers, with the Indian non violence activist Vinoba Bhave, embraced the term as a reputation for this movement in the post-independence of India which strove to make sure that our self-determination and equality is reached to all the strata of Indian society. Although inspired by Ruskin, the term would for Gandhi come to face for a political ideal of his own stamp. (Indeed, Gandhi was keen to distance himself from Ruskin's more conservative ideas.)

Thus the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: The perfect which Gandhi strove to place into practice in his ashrams was, he hoped, one that he could persuade the entire of India to embrace, becoming a light-weight to the opposite nations of the planet.
