The education system in India since the olden days has been following ‘The Gurukul Concept’ – a system which not only provides knowledge, but teaches you how to lead a life and also inculcates self-discipline among citizens. We have reached up to 78% of literacy rate in India and this is because of the rise in the number of good institutions across the country, that imparts quality education. Hence, my advise to parents is to not only provide their children with education, but also teach them to be socially committed.
