Gandhiji strove to bridge economic inequalities through the principle of trusteeship theory. This principle suggests that wealth should be held in trust by the wealthy individuals for the benefit of society. According to Gandhiji, the rich have a moral responsibility to use their wealth for the welfare of the less fortunate and should not hoard it for personal gain. Rather than advocating for the abolition of machinery or relying solely on village industries, Gandhiji believed in creating a more equitable distribution of wealth through voluntary acts of sharing and redistribution. By promoting the idea of trusteeship, Gandhiji aimed to address economic disparities and create a more just society where everyone has access to basic needs and opportunities.
