Abstract

Globally educational institutions are trying to improve their teaching pedagogies and resources to ensure the overall development of students. Schools are putting sincere efforts towards the betterment of the learning environment. But still, some of the areas of a student's personality are not significantly developed in modern schools. If we look at the ancient Indian period, 'Gurukuls' were at the centre of learning. Even today too few gurukuls are operating in the world. Through this paper, the authors are trying to study the activities conducted for learners at the gurukuls. To identify significant features of gurukul education system, case study method is being used. The authors visited two prominent gurukuls of India, interviewed the administrators, teachers, and students, and summarised the findings. After a detailed analysis of the collected information, it is found that many gurukul-related activities can be used by modern-age educational institutions for the holistic development of students.
