Explanation
★All four statements describe Nai Talim, so the answer is 1, 2, 3 and 4.
★Nai Talim or Basic Education was the pedagogical principle Gandhi advocated.
★It rests on the idea that knowledge and manual work are not separate but joined.
★Learning was to centre on a productive craft, uniting the head, heart and hand.
★It aimed at self-reliant villages and so at Gram Swaraj or village self-rule.
★Teaching was to be in the mother tongue, alongside handicraft and vocational work.
★So Nai Talim is Gandhi's vision of work-centred, mother-tongue, self-reliant education.
