Acharyas (teachers) are revered in the Indian tradition. They occupy the highest position and role in the society. While parents take care of the children upto a certain age, the educational system is what grooms their multi-dimensional personality and acharyas are core to this educational process.

Gurukulams, the hubs of learning since ancient times, are spaces where Acharyas and students live together, have food together and learn together. Gurukulams provide multidimensional learning process that combined values and knowledge.

Many young people are interested in impacting the teaching and learning process, but need guidance and an appropriate environment. They take up internships in existing schools but some of these young people are also keen on spiritual development of oneself and the children that they work with.

The 8 months fellowship will provide the opportunity to learn different aspects of Bharatiya Vijnana,Samskaras, experiment with various global and Indian pedagogical approaches, design elements of the Gurukulam curriculum and enhance one's own spiritual well-being through yoga, seva and jnana before embarking on a journey in the educational ecosystem.
