Field immersion, reflective journaling, community partnership, service-learning credits.
Assessment & outcomes
Impact reports, reflective essays, community feedback; outcome: civic competence, empathy, long-term social mindset.
Each learner cycles through all four pillars every term: learn (Vidya) β analyse (Bodha) β build (Karma) β serve (Sewaa). This cyclical loop ensures retention, maturation and social relevance.
Example Pathway (Grade 9 learner):
Vidya: Intro to logic + basic Sanskrit chant
Bodha: Logical puzzles + debate on an ethical case
Karma: Design a community poster campaign on water conservation
Sewaa: Implement poster campaign in local school, reflect, submit impact report
Short courses (4β8 weeks): Focused skill + pillar alignment (e.g., Logic Bootcamp β Bodha)
Term courses (3β6 months): Integrated across two pillars (e.g., Vedic + Data Literacy β Vidya + Bodha)
Residential Gurukul Camps (7β21 days): Intensives across all four pillars (deep immersion)
Social Entrepreneurship Track: Multi-term program combining Karma + Seva + mentorship
Foundational competence in Sanskrit & Vedic basics
Demonstrable critical reasoning & data literacy
Portfolio: projects, community impact, digital badges
Certificates (Foundations / Practitioner / Mentor tracks) β shareable on LinkedIn
