Our Inspiration
Bringing the Gurukul system back! A traditional form of Education system in India where Guru (Mentor) and Shishya (Mentee) made an emotional bond before practising the teaching-learning process. The knowledge of learning was not only limited to textbooks but correlated with Nature and Life. The education did not restrict to memorising & word barfing in examinations but focused on Logical Reasoning, Philosophy, Literature, Science and Skills necessary for an occupation. Developing Discipline and understanding the Laws of Nature were essential parts of this Ancient System.
