The soul of man may linger awhile in this\nage for certain gains and experiences, but cannot permanently rest. If it\npersists too long, human life would become clogged and perish of its own\nplethora, like the massive titan it will collapse by its own mass, warns Sri\nAurobindo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The only way\nout of this impending danger of human life is to move consciously and swiftly\ntowards a new vision of mankind, a new approach to man and his problems, a new\nideal of life based on spirituality. Sri Aurobindo has provided us that vision\nof the spiritual future of mankind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To realize\nthe above vision of Sri Aurobindo, in the rural areas, Matridarshan Trust was\nfounded in 1982 by late Prof. V. Madhusudan Reddy, Professor of Philosophy,\nOsmania University as a national rural development oriented spiritual\norganization. It is &nbsp;registered as a\npublic charitable trust under the name \u201cInstitute of Human Study \u2013 Matridarshan\nTrust \u201d on 22-07-1982 (vide no. 1036 of 1982).&nbsp;\nMatridarshan Trust&nbsp; is a not for profit\norganisation that reaches out to children and youth living in the rural areas\nthrough a range of interventions, and provides support and education.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Our\nVision<\/strong> &#8211; to organize non-formal education for the less privileged\nchildren and to ensure a happy childhood, to promote girl child education and\nuplift their spirit as, \u2018today\u2019s girl child will be the mother of tomorrow\u2019. It\nalso empowers rural children through vocational training, imparting values of\nIndian culture and developing social skills.This program aims to involve kind hearted people for the education\nand wellbeing of our rural children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Aditi Gurukul &#8211; Educate me! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aditi\nGurukul is a free school on the lines of Sri Aurobindo\u2019s Integral education.\nChildren will be in the school for four years. Aditi Gurukul is a free\nresidential school started by Matridarshan Trust in the year 2001. It provides\nGurukul system of education and caters its services to less privileged children\n&nbsp;through all round development of the\nbody, the emotions and the mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Curriculum<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Formal Education corresponds to the education process\nnormally adopted by schools and colleges in India. It represents a rather rigid\ncurriculum, chalk and board method, rote method of learning, it\u2019s a job done by\nteachers and doesn\u2019t cater to the real needs of the students and of the\ncommunity. But the informal methodologies have not been introduced in many\nschools due to lack of awareness or no proper training and guidance given. The\ninformal methodology is the need of the hour and is child centric and helps the\nchild in integral or holistic development through &nbsp;both the formal as well as&nbsp; informalpractices. Their daily schedule covers shramadhan, prayers, shloka\nrecitation, yoga asanas, sports and meditation apart from regular academics.\nThe curriculum also includes aesthetic ( art, music, drama, storytelling)&nbsp; and character development. They are provided\nnutritious food in a joyful and clean environment.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Objectives of Integral Education <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>To help and motivate children to learn in a happy environment.<\/li><li>To help the child to learn at ease by adopting &nbsp;the child centric methodology. <\/li><li>To provide for the all round development of\nthe physical, emotional, mental and spiritual parts of the being .<\/li><li>To have a regular time for sports and\nphysical games on a daily basis.<\/li><li>To ensure fitness and good health. <\/li><li>To nurture children\u2019s well being by providing\nnutritious food and sanitation.<\/li><li>To promote aesthetic pursuits through art and\ncraft, music, dance and other fine arts.<\/li><li>To help the children to deal with their\nemotions.<\/li><li>To train and develop the various faculties of\nthe mind through the module of LSRW&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;( Listening\/Speaking\/reading\/Writing<\/li><li>To ensure proper communication skills.<\/li><li>To\ndesign to involve peer group learning and sharing and this extends to\ncommunity\/parental involvement.<\/li><li>To\nfacilitate outdoor and indoor activities that involves Nature which will\ninclude gardening activities.<\/li><li>To\ndevelop a continuous assessment process designed in the module to evaluate the\nchild after completion of each concept or task.<\/li><li>To\ndesign programs wherein the sense of patriotism is inculcated.<\/li><li>To\npromote value\/spiritual education through singing bhajans, reciting shlokas,\nmeditation, narratives and awareness of self activities.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Learning Outcomes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A\nholistic development of children by providing safe space to grow both physically,\nmentally, &nbsp;emotionally and spiritually.<\/li><li>There\nis shift from a regular formal to informal methodology wherein learning happens\nbeyond the prescribed textbooks.<\/li><li>It\nhelps in the growth of cognitive, social and emotional, fine motor and gross\nmotor skills.<\/li><li>The\njoyous environment ensures children to become open minded and curious to learn.<\/li><li>This\nmethod addresses all types of learners (Auditory\/ Visual\/ Kinaesthetic).<\/li><li>As\nthe students are evaluated in all areas, it builds a non-threatening and\nlearner \u2013 friendly environment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Target Group<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Students of age group&nbsp; 6 to\n12 years (Classes I to IV)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are two groups at a given time- the senior and junior\ngroups. Each group consists of a maximum of&nbsp;\n15 children to get educated.&nbsp; The\norder of preference is orphans,semi orphan, and the very needy. We give\npreference to the Girl Child. It is important to provide quality elementary\neducation to children at this age group. This promotes interest in learning and\nenables them to develop themselves. In these years the children develop the\ncognitive, physical, social and emotional skills that they need to succeed in\nlife. This is gaining global support as a viable means to help young children\nreach their full developmental potential and engage in lifelong learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Areas of Subject Study<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Subjects\nsuch as <strong>Telugu and English as languages,\nMath and Environmental Science are focused upon. <\/strong>The concepts are integrated\nwith art, craft and pottery.

These activities develop fine\nmotor and gross motor skills along with LSRW, cognitive, creative and\npresentation skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Emphasis\nis also laid on <strong>food, health and\nsanitation<\/strong>.
