Hey There!!!


Craft is to be the center of education. Gandhiji believed that the highest development of mind and the soul was possible only through handicraft. The education of the child should begin with a useful and productive craft. Craft should form the nucleus of all instruction.

But handicraft should not be taught mechanically but scientifically. The craft should aim at developing the intellect of the pupils. With the introduction of a useful craft as the center of all instruction every school can be made self-supporting.

By teaching craft, Gandhiji’s object was not to produce craftsmen but he wanted to exploit the craft for educative purposes. The teaching of all subjects, Gandhiji said, should be inspired by craft. The whole process of education should be imparted through it. The brain must be educated through the hand.

Hope this helps
