Ancient Indian education is often associated with the Gurukul
system, which persisted until the introduction of English education.
While much focus is placed on its structure, the pedagogical aspects are
less explored. In his talk, "Ancient Indian Education Systems: An Exploration in the Backdrop of Modern Concepts," Prof. B. N. Jagatap,
formerly of IIT Bombay and a Distinguished Scientist at BARC, delves
into the teaching methods of ancient India, drawing connections with
contemporary educational thought. He incorporates insights from ancient
texts and the 12th-century Tamil grammar work Nannool, authored by Jain
monk Pavananthi Munivar.
Online Talk in English at 5.30 pm IST on February 1, 2025.
