Bharatiya Psychology – the Basis of Educational Training
Educational Training Rooted in Bharatiya Thought
Psychological needs of the child should form the very basis of educational training. Even after decades of independence, India’s education system has largely followed the Western model. But according to Hindu Philosophy, the holistic development of a child is incomplete without spiritual growth. That is why Vidya Bharati emphasizes Bharatiya Psychology, embodied in the Panchpadi Shikshan Paddhati.
