Our Cultural Heritage
by people of high talents, with special reference to the integrity of character. It is here that the Gurukul Education can help us a great deal.
Residential schools in the lap of natural, peraceful and ecologically-friendly surroundings; as well as devout and disciplined teachers and hostel-superintendents help in the noble upbringing of the students. The teachers give full affection and personal attention to the students. They themselves live a simple and virtuous life devoid of any addictions. By their own day-to day behaviour, they provide an example of ideal living to the students.
In last about ten years, such examplifying and goal-oriented residential schools have come up, but we need a great deal more to do in this direction.
May we all make joint and sincere efforts in this direction for better India of to-morrow.
