SCHOOL TO CAREER
Contentment or so-called satisfaction has been undebatably the main
inspiration of life struggle. The aim of education is to achieve the skills that
make the life worth living and content. We always feel content in doing the
things we like to. We never meet tiredness, fatigue, while toiling over the task of
our own interest. The purpose of education is to discover the inborn interest of
the child and develop them along their natural channels towards allied
occupation so that the work itself should be the ever growing source of joy. At
this stage the distinction between work and play vanishes and the work becomes
real play. For this, it is essential to discover the inborn interest of the child and
every opportunity should be conferred on it to flourish towards the real joy of
meaningful life. The aim and the role of education is to provide the congenial
atmosphere where the child itself looks for its own area of career and offer
every possible opportunity to develop it with pouring loving care on it.
The present education system hardly fulfils the conditions. The five hours based
academic bookish system with present examination system has hardly any tools
to map out the congenial area of career. Even the attitude behind taking
education is to dog after to fulfill the needs
As a renowned thinker Carlyle says ‘Blessed is he who has found his work. Let
him ask no other blessedness’ . Napoleon quotes ‘Men take only their needs
into consideration never their abilities’. The secret of success and satisfaction
is in enhancing the abilities in the field in which one has inborn interest.
‘Gurukul, School to Career’ is the concept based on discovering the inborn
interests of the child and developing them along their natural channels
towards allied occupations.
It is convenient to discuss some concepts in order to make the aim, way, and
vision clear.

To discover the work( the congenial occupational area of our life )that provides
an ever growing source of joy or makes the life worth living It is essential to
find ‘Why & What actually do I want and like to do? The answer
reveals our inborn interest. According to the renowned thinker C.T.Philip,
Normally human interests are classified in to five groups for the convenience of
vocational outlet i.e. Intellectual, Practical, Social, Aesthetic and Athletic.
Leisure pursuit i.e. Hobby and Creative classes can determine the area of
interest. Their occupational outlets are shown in the following tree diagram.

Warming up, Yoga, Meditation: Gratitude towards parents, elders and
motherland are of the prime importance and focused. To cultivate and inculcate
the ideal behavioral patterns it is essential to exercise the above activities. Our
special focus is to increase the power of concentration and memory and
introspection instead of medicines and other outward aids
Self Study: The students should have their own time to think, meditate and
work. It provides them to know their reaches, abilities, limits to redouble their
efforts and assimilate the knowledge.
Academic Classes: Proper guidance(more than a private class offer) is given
to the students so that he can make better study in the cost of just four hours a
day. This is a great advantage because normally students have to join the
classes for better preparation. We endeavor the best of our efforts not to feel the

need of any extra guidance. The experienced faculty take all the care of their
academic studies. Fruitful usage of time is practiced here.

exam is split up and studied thoroughly. The dual and positive effect is seen into

hobby works like energizer that helps to sustain our attention, concentration
towards the goal and the most important the in life to support in all
circumstances of despair and struggle.

sports. In gurukul it is focused to cultivate the sportsman spirit into the students
that make them strong mentally as well as physically.

power and increase abilities, potential is the prayer and introspections. The
world can be conquered if one has faith, determination and perseverance,
