Banasthali Vidyapith has been
conceptualized to materialize the ethos of nation-building and Indian Culture.
Banasthali's whole architecture stands upon the twin foundation pillars of
Nationalism and Indian Culture.
Since its inception, Banasthali
Vidyapith has had a clear perspective about its educational efforts and has
possessed a vivid picture of the form and pattern of educational programme to
be adopted.
The architects of the Vidyapith believed that an educational
programme should be able to promote the development of a balanced and harmonious
personality of the students. Hence, the educational programme of the Vidyapith
was distinct from the form of education prevalent at that time which emphasized
book learning to utter neglect of all other aspects of education.
Banasthali Vidyapith’s aim of a full and balanced development of students' personality got
concrete expression in the form of
'Panchmukhi Shiksha'
which evolved out of initial experimentation.
Panchmukhi Shiksha
attempts a balance
of the five aspects of education, namely Physical, Practical, Aesthetic, Moral
and Intellectual and aims at all round harmonious development of personality.
Synthesis of spiritual values and scientific achievements of the
East and the West is a key feature of the Vidyapith’s educational programme.
Simple living, self-reliance and
khadi
wearing are hallmarks of life at Banasthali.
