UNE: Who says technology and tradition are poles apart? Modern subjects like animation, gaming and broadcast journalism will soon be taught 'gurukul' style - modelled on the ancient Indian education system at a Pune school.
The unique venture, called Seamless Education Academy or SeamEdu, will be run by Saurabh Gadgil, a jeweller, and aims to cater to the fast growing animation industry's huge demand for trained personnel.
"There is a huge demand for talented animators in the country - around 200,000 in a couple of years. So we thought this was a very good business idea," said Gadgil, a major stakeholder in the venture.
Those behind the project say they only mean to simulate the gurukul tradition's aspect of individual attention.
"Gurukul education is based on individual attention and that's what we plan to do - identify the talent and harness it for industry needs," said Arun Nigvekar, Pune University's former vice chancellor under whose guidance the school will be run.
