Gurukul

"Comfortably settled on a commendable pedestal in the educational field Gurukul Kurukshetra needs no introduction. This high seat of learning was established by the great freedom fighter and dedicated social crusader Swami Shardhananda on 13 April 1912 on the eve of Baisakhi. Adopting the ideals as set by Swami Dayananda, assimilating the traditional and modern culture this institution is enlightening the lives of thousands of students. Kurukshetra reminds us of the mega war where seed of India's destruction was sown; but on the positive side it reminds of the great Swami Shardhananda who planted a tree of knowledge in the form of Gurukul to remove the darkness of ignorance. That small sapling has now assumed the shape and size of a huge banyan tree. Students hailing from various geographical regions receive education under this tree of knowledge. A munificent donor of Thanesar City Lala Jyoti Prasad donated a big chunk of land and Rs. 10000/- in cash enabling Swami Shardhanand ji to give his dreams a concrete shape . Although Lala Ji had no issue of his own yet due to his generosity today shoals of students are bringing laurels to this institution. "
