History Of Education

Bharat, since long time was known as the land of seekers. Great Gurus meditated up on the ultimate truth and revealed many a secrets of the universe. These knowledges that has been accumulated in human mind were systematically recorded and codified. Later, the process of refinement and development led building of culture of educations. Excellent universities, lakhs of colleges and schools had glittered like a blossomed ‘beautiful tree’ throughout the country. Thus our education attained excellence and perfections. Bharat was named as land of wisdom and “Jagat Guru”. The world has made a pilgrimage to this land.

But after that the history of our education took a strange turn. Though Indian approach to life has a firm foundation, it has been for than 1,500 years neglected, abused and misused thanks to imperial conspiracy. Today, the educated people feel no more pride in their sacred land nor do they feel any comfort and satisfaction under the umbrella of their culture.

In this context we must again make this land as an epicenter of wisdom and a platform of pilgrimage. A paradigm shift in the present day education system is imperative in this regard.

Salient Features of Vidyabharati [Bharatheeya Vidyanikethan] Education System

Character building, value based, man making processOur Mission

The nineteenth century American poet R.W. Emerson says, “The true test of civilization is not the census, not the size of cities, nor crops- but the kind of men the country turn out.” It is the character of the citizens that decides the destiny of a nation. As an awakened national organization Vidyabharati advocates character building, value based, man making education, It is a system that refines the innerself of the child with which the nation can be raised to supreme glory.

Integral Approach

Human is an integral entity- a collective sum of body, mind, intellect, spirit and soul. Any attempt with fragmented focus will be an incomplete education. The basic default of the present day education is that it is mainly an intellectual attempt and it predominantly neglect the other aspects of a human being. Almost upskilling of a person’s inner force is possible only through an holistic approach.

Panjanga Sikoha Oriented Paedagogy

The entire paedagogic activities of Vidyabharati is linked with five fundamental subjects – the panjanga subjects – namely Sareerik Sikohan, Yoga Sikohan, Music Sikohan, Sanskrit Sikohan and Naithic Adyathmic Sikohan. The academic subjects are taught and learned using these fundamentals as supporting tools. This methodology helps a Vidyabharati student to be a physically fit, mentally balanced, emotionally moral, intellectually sharp and spiritually pure human being.
