Spent couple of days at Anaadi Dharma Gurukulam near Coimbatore. It was mesmerizing. Vidyarthies were learning Vedic Maths, Sanskrit, English, Vedic Science 🧬 Vedic astronomy 🪐, Ayurveda and true indian history. They were reading all text in Sanskrit and communicating the same with me in English, Hindi, Telugu and Tamil. The were learning yoga and Malkhamb. Students were taking care of the cows and creating cow dung cakes. Campus was LPG free. They were also learning cylinderification of the gobar gas. They had developed puppet shows in various pauranic stories and they perform them in many lit fests across Bharat. While I was there, a batch of senior students came back from teaching IKS in big private school. Another came back from a conference in Ujjain on astronomical Instruments. Anaadi Gurukulam is started by two computers professors and Acharyas were from IIM Mumbai, Roorkee, NID and NIFT. 🙏 AnaadiFoundation अनादि/ அனாதி DharmaGurukulam Matrushree (मातृश्री) Ananthalakshmi (Smrithi) Agastyananda Giri Siddhayogi Adinarayanan

Yogi Govt taking School 🏫 Education ✍️ in UP to another level 🔥 Walked into some remote rural schools in Prayagraj and what I saw there blew me off. I learnt that from last 4 years all the 1.5 lac schools with 2 crore children in Basic Education in UP are taught through strict minimum learning levels framework for maths 🧮 and languages 📝 (Mission Nipun) to enable children 👦 👧 to become grade competent. Data 📊 of every school, teacher and child is part of the online system. Using the app 📱 the monitoring team retrieves the school data 📈 using UDISE ID and access child wise data and takes a learning assessment on the app. Once the school, block or the whole district feels that 80% of their children are grade competent, external testing agency test them and declare them as Nipun (Grade level learning competency) All the chapters in the new curriculum have QR Codes , which takes the student/teachers to the video of that topic. Children get workbooks along with books to do extensive practice. Every teacher is encouraged to attend more and more trainings modules on the app and earn points and names of top achievers are called out at the highest level. I was amazed how every teacher was showing of their training scores with pride. Teachers apply for leaves on the app and their superiors (BSAs) approve them on the app (earlier it was a travel to BSA office for every remote teacher). Routine teachers transfers and placements is also done through the online system which was a big transfer-posting racket in Akhilesh Yadav’s time. Under Mission Kayakalp - 19 physical/ infrastructure parameters (electricity, tube-lights, fans, toilet, board, wall painting etc) of all the schools are monitored closely and marked on the app, where each school is geo-tagged. One more amazing reform is - Instead of government centrally procuring school bag 💼, school dress 👖 👔 and shoes 👟 for 2 crore students in 75 districts, now the money is cash 💰transferred in the accounts of the parents and many local village level entrepreneurs sell school dress/bag packets. Multiple surveys shows that parents are not misusing this amount and 97%+ parents are using it for the said purpose. Various government and CSR funds are being smarty tapped to equip the schools with more facilities and equipments. This all will surely show a considerable learning level jump 🔝 in school level chidlren in Uttar Pradesh, in any upcoming national survey. How Yogi Govt is massively impacting the life of 2 Crore chidlren in Uttar Pradesh is a treat for any educationist in the world 🌎. Hat’s Off to 🙌 to Department Of Basic Education Uttar Pradesh

Late night 1 AM conversation with my driver 🚔 Mukesh Ji tells the growth story of Yogi’s Uttar Pradesh. I was enroute from Deoria to Kashi 🛕and what he narrated to me in the 4 hour journey was priceless. Many Psephologists 📉 📊 and analysts together cannot match this insight. He connected safely👮♂️on roads to more rides in the nights and so better income, he connected better roads 🛣️ to significantly reduced vehicle maintenance and so improved income, he narrated how he is planning to move his chidlren from pvt school to UP state govt school 🏫 as they have come at par with pvt schools, he narrated that with gas ⛽️ , tapped water 💦, pucha house 🏠 , toilet 🚽, cash 💰 in her account women 🙍♀️folks in the house are very empowered and decide the voting 🗳️ preference of the whole house in many families which was the man’s bastion earlier.

Another victory for Sanatan Lovers in Tamilnadu ✌️✌️ In September Sanatan Haters blackened the posters of AJEY 😔 in Tamilnadu Vs Last week AJEY movie got a thunderous reception in the heart ❤️ of Chennai. One viewer came to me and told - “…We love Hindi movies 🎥 but we are asked to hate Hindi by the govt of the day…” My request to Udhay - தமிழ்நாட்டை தலைகுனிய விடமாட்டேன், to stop hating hindi, hindu & North Indians. If you agree we will love to host a special screening of “AJEY - The Untold Story to a YOGI” for you and your family. Paresh Rawal Nirahua Hindustani
