The proposed Gurukulam,
where the student live with the teachers, intends to exemplify excellence
in teaching and learning process. With free education and stress on developing
high ideals, the motto of the institution is “Satyam Vada, Dharmam
Chara” or speak the truth and act righteously. A visit to campus
will speak of the ambience of the ancient Gurukula system of teaching
and learning. The sayings of great sages will be inscribed on the wall
which will remind and inspire them to strive to have their great insight,
ideals, discipline and profound scholarship.
Main features –
• The campus of the Foundation is partly residential and located
in a quiet and peaceful environment, situated on the banks of the holy
Kaveri river, which is condusive for intellectual pursuit and emotional
development.
• Students would come from all over India and even from other countries.
• The quality of infrastructure of the institute like of buildings,
laboratories, hostels and other facilities would be very high and merges
with the ambience of surrounding nature. Dedicated and highly skilled
teaching staff will be offering the best education on par with the best
available in the country.
• All activities like admissions, examinations, declaration of results
would be held as per schedule without any interruption.
• Plans are afoot to help the foundation to meet the major part
of its expenditure from its own resources.
• It is proposed to introduce educational technology through the
installation of a model space theatre in rural surroundings to help students
to develop various kinds of simulation exercises. Participation in such
activities help students develop right perspective and the right view
about attaining physical, emotional, psychic, intellectual and intuitional
perfection.
Motivating Force: To achieve a sense of involvement, students are made
to participate in all activities of both campus and hostels. Thus the
dependence on hired labour in the labs, hostels, campus environment will
be minimum.
Self-Reliance: Students would do their own work like serving meals, gardening,
managing the stationary stores, reading room and library, organizing health-care,
office up-keeping, receiving guests, repair work like plumbing etc. This
will help the student to be self-reliant.
Social Service: As part of social service-week, students would get an
opportunity of repairing roads, buildings, cleaning, white-washing, organizing
medical camps, tree plantation and such activities. On special occasions
students would also be made to serve the poor like distribution of clothes,
food, maintenance of general traffic, orderly movement of crowds, catering
and seating.
Morning Assembly Address: All students would be encouraged to address
the morning assembly on universal themes. Students will observe silence
for five minutes to reflect on the reality of life.
This integral education system mirrors the pre-historic Gurukul system.
The emphasis is on traditional values and at the same time, exposure to
realities of society through community development.
