About Tapovan University Campus (Bhanvad) "PRADAT" Education System
Nurturing children through the original Gurukul system with ten unique subjects designed for self-understanding, natural growth, and holistic development.
Tapovan University does not follow the current Lord Macaulay education system, but rather emphasizes on its original Gurukul tradition-based education system, which focuses on self-learning, self understanding, and self- doing to impart education to children. Here, a unique approach to education is being developed through 10 (ten) types of ‘Pras( ) (subjects).
Prayer : (प्रार्थना)
Music creates dynamicness and when a child turns on a journey inside through the Havan session, then the child shines within. Truly, prayer strives to cultivate the child's inner virtues and to shine them through its medium.
Education / Training: (प्रशिक्षण)
Less routines/regular self-education through the method of self-learning in the lap of nature. True skills instead of degrees, no prescribed curriculum and no traditional examination methods; children develop multiple skills simultaneously based on their own interests through a "self-practiced education system".
Nature : (प्रकृति)
Estimated Environment to Truly Understand "Tapovan University" Being instructed amidst the natural environment of Barda Hill as the best way to educate through nature's perspective. Besides, humanity that is a core part of research, children are encouraged to practice under the open and pure sky, witnessing the playful tone of trees and birds.
Practical Applications: (प्रयोग)
Practical applications mean all educational activities are conducted through practical experience, including gardening, agriculture, animal husbandry, pottery, pottery weaving, carpentry, painting, cooking, and management, among other practices, to provide hands-on education.
Inclinations: (प्रवृत्ति)
If you tell a child, they may forget, but if you allow them, they will remember very well. The creation of a delightful educational experience can be achieved through activities based on five elements. Only 20% of education is received in the classroom, while 80% is learned outside. Therefore, every step of education here is based on inclinations such as yoga, meditation, eco-friendly lifestyle, nature conservation, social trips, promoting freedom from addictions, carpentry, agriculture, and various other labor-intensive activities, comprising a comprehensive system of Tapovan management and all the activities that take place in regular routines that are truly worthwhile.
Travels: (प्रवास)
According to Russian Research, education through experiences is like a journey. Through travels, children in the institution not only read but also gain enriched experiences. These travels include visits to natural sites, visits to various legal and administrative offices, meetings with farmers, trekking, swimming in rivers, and experiencing flights in planes and helicopters to develop practical skills and gain exposure.
Questions: (प्रश्न)
When a child does not speak, they are thinking about what we say. Dialogue arises from questioning and counter-questioning, and efforts can be made to stimulate natural curiosity. Tapovan provides an environment where children can easily ask questions.
Events: (प्रसंगिक)
Appreciation: (प्रशंसा)
Progress: (प्रगति)
True progress is when each child advances through small efforts, nurtures small abilities, and strives to achieve small goals. It's not just about marks, careers, jobs, or business education, but true progress for us is education that encompasses all-encompassing human welfare, education that spreads the fragrance of humanity, education that fosters skills, and education that instils patriotism along with better citizenship.
To achieve these lofty goals, Tapovan’s unique “PRADAT” education system is advancing in a significant way. It will continue to be a significant contribution to building a better and brighter nation in the future.
