The progress & development of any nation is dependent on the fully developed personality of its citizens. The personality of the individuals is highly influenced by Education. Gurukul (Sanskrit word Guru means teacher; Kula means extended family) is a type of education system in Ancient India. Value Based Education received the utmost importance in the Ancient Gurukuls, where emphasis was placed on all round development & Refinement of ones personality.

The teachers of Gurukuls accomplished the task of training an individual in external sciences like physics, chemistry, biology,sociology, psychology, medicine, Science, Mathematics etc along with clear guidance & Training in the subject of the Self Management. The key role of gurukul teachers was to mould students into complete Individuals by imparting knowledge and information on tips & techniques to lead a purposeful and fulfilling life.

According to Rishis & Sages of India, "The Purpose of Human Life is to acquire knowledge & develop the skills, abilities to lead not only a fulfilling life but also by understanding our role & responsibility as a global citizen", needless to say the entire education was based on Univeral Values & Principles of "Vasudaiva Kutumbakam" - The Entire World is one big family.

In earlier times seekers from different parts of the globe used to travel miles and miles to get to top universities like Nalanda and Taxila to learn the priceless treasures of Ancient Science and Wisdom of India.At that time universities were so specialized in the transmission of the "Total Education" for the integral development of one's IQ, EQ and also SQ.

Looking at the state of our educational system today, it can be observed that the emphasis is more on earning Degrees without much contribution in terms of individual development and refinement of one's personality. At the outset, for building a human being both the modern knowledge and the value based knowledge should integrate, coexist and support each other. According to Swami Vivekananda "Education means that process by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, and intellect is sharpened, as a result of which one can stand on one’s own feet".

"The entire humanity is living in Amazing times of technological wonders. With the advent of technological marvel Internet, the entire world has become one Global Village. Unlike in the past there is no requirement to take any strenous travelling efforts, Anyone from any part of the world can learn, gain insights and disseminate the priceless treasures sitting right in front of the computer.
