The Institute Education is a continuous process. To maintain this continuity and foster a sense of national pride, the concept of community life lays emphasis on co-education, physical labor , education by mother-tongue, wearing of khadi, agriculture, gopalan, co-operation, and further gives importance to subjects like economics, science, philosophy and politics for practical living. Lectures are given by visiting experts and professors on a variety of subjects. To impart practical experience to students, relief work is done by students and staff alike during famines, floods, earthquakes and communal riots in distant parts of India such as Assam and Bihar. Cultural festivals are celebrated with an emphasis on social awareness. The family- like atmosphere of the institution has made the entire educational process free and fearless. The uniqueness of Lok Bharti lies in its educational system. In India, only technological educational system seems to have borne some fruits. There are three major drawbacks of traditional educational system. First, its not practical as it is only service oriented. This has given rise to phenomenon of educated unemployed, which is a contradiction in itself. Second, the traditional educational system tends to alienate the individual from society, with the result that bureaucracy becomes exploitive. Third, 72 percent of India’s population lives in villages. Production of primary and essential wealth takes place in rural areas. Despite this, the educated are centered in urban India and they look down upon the majority which is in villages producing wealth, but without scientific knowledge of agriculture or dairy developments, and, the minority which is the educated traditionalists, who have no dialogue with or understanding of the other half. Lok Bharti’s dream is to find a solution to this problem. Today’s education should be rural oriented. it should be practical, socially relevant and less verbal and figurative. This would not be industrial education but practical education with reference to society. It should have compulsory residence with community life so that a sense of responsibility towards society becomes natural. Social problems which exist today should be correlated to this education. And contact with economics science, politics and philosophy should be emphasised Man is essentially a two faceted being: one is a wealth producing being, and the other is a socially conscious and aware being. To make every man & woman an embodiment of this dual entity is the goal at Lok Bharti.
Basic education at higher
level is constituted of teaching, extension and research. The various
activities of the Lok Bharti can be divided into four broad sections |
