The founder of KOVISE FOUNDATION, Mrs.Surya Narmada, follower of Sri Rabindranath Tagore’s education ideology conducted many trainings in the field of agriculture and the results were overwhelming. The same is tried to be repeated in our schools.

THOUGHTS OF SRI RABINDRANATH TAGORE ON LEARNING SYSTEM:

Shri Rabindranath Tagore 

Sri Rabindranth Tagore’s ideology emphasis to absorb and learn subconsciously at one’s own pace, giving them a self-motivated open model of education concerning the importance of freedom in education. He also recognised the importance of the arts for developing understanding and compassion, and the necessity for a cherished relationship with one’s cultural and natural environment. He saw learning as a medium for appreciating the prosperous aspects of other cultures, while maintaining one’s own cultural specificity. We always believe in a learning system which leads to aspiration giving freedom of power in our language, creativity, balancing with our environment, finally freedom from ignorance. In general, he envisaged an education that was deeply rooted in one’s immediate surroundings but connected to the cultures of the wider world, predicated upon pleasurable learning and individualized to the personality of the child. He felt that a curriculum should revolve organically around nature with classes held in the open air under the trees to provide for a spontaneous appreciation of the fluidity of the plant and animal kingdoms, and seasonal changes.

KOVISE ECOVERSITY initiated two types of Schools:

FARM SCHOOL

Farmers are the nerve line of our nation and their empowerment is the need of the hour to make them self-sustained. Farmers and rural youth should have an awareness on the current trend in agriculture and also has to be taught on the basics of scientific agriculture technique and reasons for adapting the same. This will empower them and the labour can be put into efficient usage. At the same time it is the need of the hour to strengthen the farmers in other agriculture and rural related activities so that they can source out income during lean season of agriculture. 

INFED SCHOOL

INFED SCHOOL of KOVISE ECOVERSITY also encourages informal learning programme of the human beings through discussions, mentorship and explorative learning thereby bringing meaningful personal and social development. We facilitate such learning systems by connecting them to the subject matter specialist of their field of interest.
