India has always boasted of a rich tradition in the area of learning and education since ancient times. It  is well known that people from other nations such as Europe, the Middle East, and Portugal came to  India to get a quality education. One of the famous educational systems practised in India in the ancient  times was The Gurukul System. It was a residential schooling system whose origin dates back to around  5000 BC in the Indian subcontinent. It was more prevalent during the Vedic age where students were  taught various subjects and about how to live a cultured and disciplined life. Gurukul was actually the  home of teacher or Acharya and was the centre of learning where pupils resided till their education got  complete. All were considered equal at the Gurukul and guru (teacher) as well as shisya (student)  resided in the same house or lived near to each other. This relationship between guru and shishya was  so sacred that no fee was taken from the students. However, the student had to offer  a gurudakshina which was a token of respect paid to the teacher. It was mainly in the form of money or  a special task that the student had to perform for the teacher. 

When I say Gurukul form of education will be the future it may not come back as it was 5000 years of  ago but the heart of education will be totally same that is to find the truth of life. Many people may  consider the gurukul system to be quite unstructured and a bizarre concept. The thought of living with a  teacher, absence of a curriculum or a set routine can make people wonder how exactly will a child learn  anything. However, there are many teaching approaches from the Gurukul system that can be  inculcated in the present-day educational system like holistic education. The present day education  mainly focuses on a rank based system which is driven by animosity towards their peers. More fuel is  added by the over-ambitious parents who judge the knowledge of students only by academic  performance. The application of the Gurukul system instead can work on a value-based system where  focus can be given on the uniqueness of child so that they can excel in their area of interest. This will  also build a good character which is far away from fierce competition and increased stress levels that  usually leads to depression. Also when you look at where the world is heading you can easily observe  that gurukul will come back or humans will be forced to bring it back. Artificial intelligence is the future  of the world when it will come it will leave people with nothing to do, now this situation will leave  humans restless and he will try to drug him with intoxicants, so in my view to avoid this scenario gurukul  system of education which is based on recognising human potential rather than to feed large industries. 

Overall the idea of inculcating a Gurukul system in Indian education is just to assist the children in  understanding the concept of a balanced life. This very ideology of balance should be taught to the kids  from a young age so that they make informed decisions about work, food, exercise and the way they  wish to live their life.
