Gandhi strongly advocated the concept of trusteeship which is an effort towards "spiritualization of economics". Although Gandhi was not an economist but throughout his life he formulated many concepts in order to achieve an equitable economic society. His economic ideas were deeply rooted in the dignity of the man. The existing socio-economic issues can be solved with the pragmatic approach of Gandhi. The protection of human dignity is the ultimate aim of the concept of trusteeship. Truly speaking, the demand and desire of the modern man is to be free from any kind of exploitation. In the present scenario of economic unrest and exploitation, the Gandhian concept of trusteeship is really relevant. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyse and understand the concept of trusteeship and its relevance.
Key words: Gandhi, Trusteeship, Economics, Human Dignity.
