Vidyakshetra: The New- Age Gurukul That India Needs

Welcome to this documentary exploring the transformative story of Vidyakshetra, an extraordinary Gurukula in the heart of Bangalore. 🌍
I visited this school in the beginning of 2024. The faculty and students here carried compassion and kindness and not even for a second did I feel like an outsider. I hold this experience very close to my heart. I hope through this documentary, I can pass on the essence of my experience.
Here are a few things you can look forward to during this documentary:
1. How it was founded?
Discover the origins of Vidyakshetra, founded in 2016 by visionaries who traversed the length and breadth of India, seeking inspiration from diverse alternative education systems. Join us as we unravel the philosophy and principles shaping this innovative approach to learning.
2. How education is made holistic
Witness how Vidyakshetra challenges traditional norms, fostering a profound connection to the land, instilling Indian culture, and prioritizing learning over exams. Immerse yourself in the world of experiential learning through activities like yoga, martial arts, and hands-on exploration of local environments.
There are three pillars of Vidyakshetra's curriculum - Kriya Shakti, Iccha Shakti Shiksha, and Gyan Shakti Shiksha. Follow the journey of students as they channel positive energy, develop emotional intelligence, and sharpen their intellect through a unique blend of traditional and contemporary subjects.
What is different about the teaching here?
3. They follow an innovative teaching methodology where geography and history unfold organically - from local landscapes to regional and national exploration. This is based on the near-to-far approach.
