KEY POINTS
Constructive work is a form of passive resistance initiated by Mahatma Gandhiji to train millions of workers to fight against British Raj.
The significance of constructive work in reducing inequalities
· Constructive work involves participation from almost all sections of society, now Indian democracy needs huge participation by people to make the government accountable.
· Unity in diversity was the cornerstone of constructive work; divisions based on caste, creed, religion etc need to be curbed from the society to minimize inequalities.
· Integrated Child Development scheme was the best example of constructive work in reducing malnutrition across the country. Dedication of Anganwadi workers, social audits paved the way for the successful implementation of the scheme in several states like TamilNadu, Kerala, and Maharashtra.
· Another crucial aspect is the participation of women in various activities; minimizing the gender inequalities in the society; recently armed forces opened their gateway for inducting women pilots in the Indian Air force and offering them Permanent Commission in the Indian Military.
· Peaceful protests pressurize governments to address the needs of the people; recently peaceful farmers rally in Maharashtra made the state government consider the problems of farm distress.
