Swamiji defines New Tamil/Education as ‘the manifestation of the perfection already in man. ’ According to Swamiji, the culture values of the country should form an integral part of the curriculum of education. The culture of India has its roots in her spiritual values. The time-tested values are to be imbibed in the thoughts and lives of the students through the study of the classics like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Gita, Vedas and Upanishads. This will keep the perennial flow of our spiritual values into the world culture.

Nanaji Deshmukh He also established Chitarkoot Gramoday Vishwavidyalaya in Chitrakoot, India's first rural University, Nanaji implemented the philosophy of integral humanism to improve the living standards of more than 150 villages of Bundelkhand. Deendayal Research Institute (DRI) was founded in 1972 by Deshmukh to validate the philosophy of Integral Humanism propounded by Pandit Deendayal Upadhyaya (1916– 1968).

NAI TALIM Neo- Humanistic Approach Nai Talim is a spiritual principle which states that knowledge and work are not separate

My model of Nai Talim is directed toward my alternative vision of the social order 1. It is an embodiment of perception of an ideal society consisting of small, self-reliant communities with ideal citizen being an industrious, self-respecting and generous individual living in a small co-operative community 2. Nai Talim also envisaged a different role for the teacher, not simply as a professional constrained by curricula and abstract standards, but rather as a person relating directly to the student in the form of a dialogue 3. A teacher who establishes rapport with the taught, becomes one with them, learns more from them than he teaches them. 4. He who learns nothing from his disciples is, in my opinion, worthless. 5. Whenever we talk with someone we learn from him. We should take from him rather we give him. In this way, a true teacher regards himself as a student of his students. If you will teach your pupils with this attitude, you will benefit much from them.

The crux of Nai Talim lay in overcoming distinctions between learning and teaching, and knowledge and work. It the need to redefine the relationship between teacher and student, they must each regard the other as a fellow worker. . . Instead, the ‘teacher’ was to be skilled in a kala/hunar. The student was to live, work and grow with the teacher and his/her family. In this process s/he would learn the kala/hunar — the skill as part of a way of life, code of ethics, web of relationships, etc. Nai Talim was conceived as a response to one of the main dialectics of modernity (New Concept of GURU KUL)
