About Us
Aims & Objectives
The aims and objectives of
Lok Bharti are represented by his motto. Vidya or introspective
knowledge of self, and Avidya or knowledge and skills that one learns
in life, must be taught together in correlated manner based on
practical, productive labor and social living together.
The absence of this kind of
correlated education, has led to an almost dichotomous partition between the
‘classes’ and the ‘masses’, thereby weakening society. Unless correlated
education is given to the vast majority of rural Indians, real democracy
cannot exist. The current system of education, a British legacy, makes the
educated individualistic rather than social. Thus, the educated individual
is alienated even as he lives among the uneducated masses.
The remedy for this social
evil is to make hostel life the center of our educational plans. In a
hostel, the students learn to live and work together in harmony, doing
useful, productive work on campus. Thus whatever knowledge and skills the
student acquires is in the context of a close contact with society and its
healthy development. The unique quality of our system is to educate the
students and thereby achieving the every sided development of our rural
community
This is exactly the kind of
correlated education that Lok Bharti strives to impart to its students, thus
qualifying them for the practical experiences of life and society. An
example of this is the study of the problem of water shortage, and the
subsequent solution through conservation and economic use. In brief, Lok
Bharti looks forward to creating an enlightened nation that sings while
working and works while sings.
