Hooda advocates fusion of Gurukul and modern education system

Kurukshetra, Nov 2 (UNI) Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said that the system of Gurukul education and modern education could together develop a better system of teaching.

The Chief Minister, who was speaking at the annual prize distribution function and 96th foundation day of Gurukul here, appreciated the Gurukul system of education saying that it laid emphasis on character building of the students by infusing among them moral values of life.

Mr Hooda also went around the science exhibition organised in the premises of the Gurukul.

He announced to give Rs. 10 lakh out of his discretionary fund for the construction of Gymnasium Hall in Gurukul complex and promised to get Rs five lakh from Member Parliament Dr. Ram Parkash for the Gurukul.
