Read the following passage and answer the questions given below
Of the alternatives available to the Assembly, the village-based system needs the closer examination. The village celebrated by certain Englishmen and Indians alike as the true India, representative even in modern times of her ancient modes of life and thought, and regarded as the one bastion unbreeched by foreign cultural influence found its most articulate exponent in Mahatma Gandhi. Gandhi did not believe that life in India's villages was ideal; he hoped that it would be reformed, medically, economically, and socially. Yet in the simplicity of village life, in its removal from the falsity of urban, industrial society's values as he interpreted them Gandhi envisaged the environment in which man could live morally, where he could tread the path of duty and follow the right mode of conduct, which to Gandhi was the true meaning of 'civilization'. The village, therefore, was Gandhi's unit of social organization. Its panchayat and its cottage industries would provide government and consumer goods; its farms, food. Resting on this village base would be a stateless, classless society where prime ministers and governments would be unnecessary. Gandhi's incompletely formulated views on government became to some extent systematized in two ways by Gandhi himself in his suggestion for a Congress constitution, and by disciples who desired to commend them to the Constituent Assembly.

Gandhi submitted two plans one in January 1946 and the other in January 1948 to the committee charged with revising the Congress Constitution. The second plan, presented on the day of his murder and now called his Testament, is the more comprehensive. It would have disbanded the Congress as propaganda vehicle and a parliamentary machine' and turned it into a social service organization based on a nation-wide network of panchayats. Each village panchayat, in Gandhi's plan, would form a unit; two such panchayats would constitute a working party with an elected leader. Fifty leaders would elect a second-grade leader, who would co-ordinate their efforts and who would also be available for national service. Second-grade leaders could elect a national chief to 'regulate and command all the groups.
