Mentor’s comment-

• Start by defining the core idea of trusteeship philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi.
• In the body further elaborate the concept of trusteeship with examples from Gandhian times to contemporary times. Gandhi’s economic ideas were part of his general crusade against poverty, exploitation against socio-economic injustice, and deteriorating moral standards.
• End the answer by stressing the need and importance of trusteeship in present times.
