GURUKUL: Virtual Class Room

Internet is a virtual world with no boundaries and it is a knowledge power house open to all and its wealth of information which is instantly and always available. Knowledge, Media, Information, Education, Social, Political  content can be made instantly available to anyone everyone, anywhere and everywhere. Internet is growing exponentially in India and the last mile is offered by smart phone, its very common to stay connected all the time but are we tapping right virtues of internet?

The question we should ask ourselves is are we making the good use of the internet and connected world, are we getting good knowledge that is available in abundance and  Is it really reaching to masses that can benefit from it? Can this content be made available to all to benefit all and provide equal opportunity to everyone irrespective of who you are and where you live.

While experiencing enormous collaboration at work while working at Cisco and getting inspired every time I get to immerse into, I always feel everyone should get to experience it. I often tend to miss this experience on my trips to India and interacting with people around and always have  this feeling that we need to apply our learning experience to do something to help everyone benefit from it. In the internet age, the world should advance equally irrespective of physical location and no one should be deprived of opportunities to learn and grow. We need to bring everyone close to good virtues of  internet by providing best of the world academic, educational, knowledge, inspirational content available on internet to help learn and guide one and all.

The internet realities in India are far from this. We all know the landline phone connection is not available in all places  and is not very common and it is not affordable to have high speed internet at home to do something meaningful and few who have one at home it is not guaranteed to be used for the good cause and at home since you are usually alone time spent on internet may not be worth it. We do have internet cafes but its not controlled so whoever visits cafes land up spending time in browsing, chatting and literally killing good amount of precious time  So there is indeed a need for a internet vitual platform where anyone who wishes to learn something joins a group of equally motivated person to extract the best possible from virtual world for an enriching experience.







There are Great folks like Salman Khan  of Khan Academy who deserve applause to what they are doing to revolutionise the educational field to provide excellent recorded educational videos on all possible subject covering all topics and world's best universities offering many courses online to reach out to all aspiring students all across world and equally TED shares very good inspirational videos from the people who made significant mark on their field to name a few,  we are only planning to do our bit to provide a platform where we can can connect people to people  and provide them with best of the virtues of internet and to do all the right thing to help them grow academically, technically, professionally, mentally by connecting them to the right content from the right people in state of art facility to make the time spent in the virtual world an enriching experience.

GURUKUL virtual class room is our attempt to do very small thing on top of enormous great work already done by others. But we believe in education and learning in all forms and for all age groups and we want every one to get benefitted in this world transformed by Internet.

In this age of internet and connected world is governed by unwritten rules and ethics, if you know something and if you learn something in the virtual world, the only way to pay back is to share this knowledge with others. We just want to follow our heart and help brilliant minds get together with no boundaries whatsoever in virtual world with one motto in mind lets learn together, lets advance together and leave no one behind.

We are proud to announce that we are beginning our first services at Parbhani, first of its kind in the region and probably first of its kind in India  and it will be run by my sister and her husband Mr and Mrs. Avinash and Sangita Parlikar. Join me to wish them a great success. Thanks so much for your help.
