Empowering younger generations through technology-enabled learning

Vidyadaan portal is a three-pronged approach, one for students or shishya, second for teachers/experts or gurus, and thirdly for institutions or Gurukuls. If you are a student of a particular course, we understand that technology is advancing and the scope of knowledge is ever expanding. This calls for a continuous learning process. Vidyadaan is a technology-enabled programme which helps students, homemakers, school-dropouts or anyone who is interested and willing to study, to learn from anywhere and everywhere. The courses are run in the form of webinars, where registered students can watch the videos at one’s own convenience.

Teaching is the best way to learn

If you are an expert in a subject, you can register in Vidyadaan portal as a guru and share your knowledge with thousands of students. One need not necessarily be a teacher to register as a guru. You can be an army veteran or an ex-Air Force personnel who is an expert in their own domain. It is not just the knowledge that a guru shares on the portal but also the life changing experiences, stress relieving sessions for the people in need, counselling sessions on mental or physical health, sessions on grooming and personality development. These experiences will prepare the younger generations to face various challenges, become better at what they are doing, and motivate them to be better human beings.

Teaching is the best way to learn. And Vidyadaan is set to create history in the field of education by designing a journey of a student to become a certified professional, who in turn can teach other students. In this journey, institutions can also take part as gurukuls, and provide basic necessities like classroom space, study materials or even the trainers. It can be a private or government college or university, or a school, gurukul will help us in bringing back the age-old tradition of guru-shishya culture.
