Why are Gurukuls getting free land in Haryana?
Financial analyst (Mudra finance company) | Posted on
Gurukuls have always been an inevitable part of Indian education. Be it pre-colonial, colonial or post-colonial era, the importance of Gurukuls have not declined here, Ranbindranath Tagore’s Santiniketan being the biggest and most popular example of it.
Partially, the reason for Gurukuls getting free land in Haryana can be taken as their offering free education to people. In this regard they deserve it. The other reasons include the motive of keeping up this ever-present importance of Gurukuls in our country.
Gurukuls does not only impart bookish knowledge but also teaches a way of life through yoga, patriotism, etc. This is what private and government schools, which impart modern education, lack. They are more about pen-paper tests and less about our Indian values, which Haryana government wants to promote.
“The moral responsibility in our society to provide facilities of health and education to the people free of cost but today while the common man lacks resources to avail these facilities, the rich spend immense wealth on them,” Chief Minister of Haryana, Manohar Lal Khattar says, and TOI reports.
So the major reason, according to Haryana government, is to facilitate quality education without any hurdle for those who cannot afford it in the regular schools.
