Since time immemorial in the sacred land of Saints and Rishis, India, the Gurukul system of education was followed for the all round development of the students. As a result this land has been blessed with many Rishis, sacred saints and great men. But now the sacred land seems to be cursed. During the British rule the Gurukul system of education was changed to school system by Lord T.B. Macauly. The result of this value less system is in front of us today. Most of the students due to this incomplete system of schooling, coaching classes, tuitions and modern education are forgetting their moral duties towards the society. Day by day this is becoming dangerous for the country. Today the country needs institutions that can fil the void.
