Sadhvi Vishrut Vibha
Jeevan Vigyan is an innovation in value-education started by Acharya Shri Tulsi. It was Vivekananda who maintained that spirituality and science should be correlated, and Acharya Vinobha Bhave also advocated the same view. Acharya Shri Tulsi and Acharya Shri Mahaprajna have gone one-step further by putting their idea into practice with development of JeevanV igyan. in Jeevan Vigyan; Anatomy, Physiology, Bio-chemistry, Psychology, Psycharity, Sociology, Ecology etc., are amalgamated with Eastern Philosophy, Spiritually, Yoga and theory of Karma. At the root of Jeevan Vigyan is the theme that there are 4 types of development necessary in education:
- Physical development
- Mental development
- Intellectual development
- Emotional developmen
In majority of systems of education, only physical and intellectual developments are emphasized on, whereas mental and emotional developments are neglected. Thus, JeevanVigyan insists that there should be a balance between intellectual and emotional development. The government of Rajasthan took the initiative of introducing this programme into some of the schools with excellent results. It, then has been adopted partly or fully by many other states viz., Delhi, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Haryana, Chatishgarh, Karnataka, Tamilnadu, Bihar, etc. It is an innovation in the field of education, but as a result of its tremendous success, it promises to be an enduring one.
