The basic factors for ecological crisis and Gandhian economic order is discussed in the second chapter. Third chapter examines Gandhi’s ecological vision of life. Fourth chapter deals with the inner logic of Gandhian ecology and his concept of environmental conservation, sustainability and survival is devoted in fifth chapter. Sixth chapter examines Gandhian ecology and developmental challenges in India. Modern humanism crisis in environmental perspective is discussed in seventh chapter and the emphasis is given to Gandhi as an ecological tourist in last chapter. It is no doubt that Gandhi was an early environmentalist, although this is usually answered in the affirmative by his admirers, but rarely with supporting evidence.
