  A Project of Library and Research Centre, Sevagram Ashram Pratishthan, Wardha, Maharashtra Preface   The 1924 Belgaum Congress Session holds an iconic place in India's struggle for independence, marking the presidential debut of Mahatma Gandhi. This significant event was the 39th edition of the Indian National Congress, held in Belgaum (now Belagavi), Karnataka.

However, J.C. Kumarappa stands out with his unique economic vision rooted in Gandhian thought. He pioneered a scientific, pro-poor, and sustainable economic philosophy. Unfortunately, independent India hasn't fully utilized his economic ideas. In today's context, corporate dominance has exacerbated economic inequalities worldwide. Large-scale production and resource exploitation have led to climate change, threatening humanity's survival.
