TULSI-PRAJNA
culum and other activities of the school.
Since value education demands a lot of thinking, practicing, attitudinal change and behavioural modification, to begin with, similtaneously dealing with all the subjects and other school activities is not possible. Therefore, sincere, sustained and step by step efforts are required to be made to achieve the goal.
In view of the above we designed a project and through this project we are making a humble & modest beginning to weave in social, moral & spiritual values with Science and Environmental education for primary and upper primary classes.

What is the purpose of people coming to Gurudev Tulsi ? These are moral/ human questions. These are not questions within science. These are questions beyond science. Beyond science is the world of spirituality, psyche' & soul. The fundamental distinction between the two is clear. Yet man cannot do without either of them. Both are cqually significant for human life.
Today Science & Technology is playing an important role in the
