00:00There is a saying that the right decision taken by you will take you to the heights of success.

00:06Today, we are going to introduce you to a young person from Kanpur

00:10who not only established himself, but today he is providing free of cost education to 300 children.

00:17He is providing everything from their education to their dressing sense etc.

00:25He is running an organization called Gurukulam

00:29in which he is providing free of cost education to all the children.

00:31Today, we have with us the founder of Gurukulam, Udhay Sachan

00:39who not only established himself, but today he is taking 300 children to the heights of success.

00:45We will introduce you to Udhay Sachan and find out how he achieved this success.

00:54Udhay, first of all, welcome to ETV.

00:56Thank you very much.

00:57How did your journey start? What are the challenges?

00:59Please tell our viewers about it.

01:01Yes, sure. I belong to a lower class family.

01:04My father is a tailor and my mother is a housewife.

01:07So, when I had to go to work, what used to happen was that the school fees was financial

01:12and my mother was sick at that time, so I was expelled from the school.

01:15So, an incident occurred in my mind that I am being expelled from the school because I did not pay the fees.

01:21After that, when I grew up, I realized that the syllabus that I studied in school is not helping me in my life.

01:28And then I did some small work and realized that I don't have the skills.

01:34I realized that it is not just me, there are many children who are wandering here and there due to the fees and lack of skills.

01:41So, it came to my mind that school is such a thing that brings change in the lives of children.

01:46Then I wanted to open a school where children will be taught how to live their lives, whether it is philosophy, psychology or skills.

01:52So, it was a little difficult in the beginning, but the idea came to my mind.

01:55So, I started from the bottom of a tree.

01:57It was a bit of a struggle.

01:58Today, I have my own school where 300 children study.

02:01So, what do you think, when you started this journey, there were many financial issues.

02:07How did you maintain those financial issues?

02:09Because when you said that the journey started from the bottom of a tree,

02:13and today you have reached a school where 300 children are studying.

02:16So, how is their education being provided to them?

02:19And did we get any kind of motivation from any NGO or any organization?

02:23So, I told them that money is required for every work.

02:26So, it was a big struggle in the beginning.

02:28I had given Rs. 250 from home.

02:30So, I kept on promoting, people kept on joining, children kept on joining.

02:35Then my work became viral in social media.

02:37There are many good people in the world.

02:39The world is full of good people.

02:41Very few good people.

02:42So, the good people gave us some donations from their own pocket.

02:45All of this has made our school run very easily.

02:48They send us some textbooks, some copy books, some clothes.

02:52Whatever they like.

02:53So that the school can run easily.

02:55You named it as Gurukulam.

02:57Yes.

02:58So, what is the meaning of Gurukulam?

02:59Gurukulam means that the current education system is based on Matala.

03:02And everything is in English.

03:04So, we want that the education system of Gurukul should be taught to children at a new level.

03:09If we apply for Gurukul now, it will become a little old.

03:11It should be in both English and Gurukul.

03:13So, we named it as Gurukulam.

03:15If it is accessible, it will be good.

03:17So that we stay in a modern way.

03:19And we don't have to worry about our expenses.

03:21So, if we talk about the board, which class are we studying in?

03:25We have children from P.T. to A.S.

03:27And we will teach those children gradually.

03:30And for the boards, we have the support from the schools.

03:33So that our children's education can come.

03:34So, this means that the system is registered.

03:37Yes, it is registered.

03:38So, the children who are coming in this, do you only give them education or do you have any other teacher?

03:43I have hired 5 teachers.

03:45Because it is very difficult to teach 1.5-3 children.

03:47Then there will be a formality.

03:48So, I am looking for 5 teachers.

03:49The salary goes properly and they teach well.

03:51So, you give them with your own money.

03:53Yes, I have.

03:54I don't have any donation.

03:55I manage everything.

03:56So, if we talk about it till now.

03:58So, the children who are being taught.

04:00So, tell us about some such skills that the children are learning.

04:03So, the children, normally, till now they were just roaming around and playing properly.

04:09But now the children are learning music in school.

04:11They are learning dance.

04:12And playing the flute.

04:13Like some children play the harmonium.

04:15Cricket has come a lot in this course.

04:17And after this, they are learning some soft skills like computer.

04:20So, they have not left anything behind.

04:22They are coming in every field.

04:23So, do we organize any such competition where the children participate or show their talent?

04:29Right now, we are at the level of the school itself.

04:31We get the children from another school to participate in competitions.

04:34So, the children get an environment.

04:36If they see the children from a big school and compete with them.

04:38So, their morale increases automatically.

04:40So, right now, little by little.

04:41But in the coming time, it will happen on a very large scale.

04:44And the children will get a level in this stage.

04:46In the beginning, when the journey started.

04:47So, how many children came and how to connect them.

04:49So, in the beginning, I thought that if I am coming for free, then many children will come.

04:53But I came with 5 children.

04:55But those 5 children stayed for 6 months.

04:57Then 5 to 10, when Covid came.

04:59So, things were bad for these people.

05:01Then poverty came more.

05:03So, people started a good business with me.

05:05So, from 5 to 10, from 10 to 20, from 20 to 70.

05:07So, I did everything alone.

05:09And it was easy.

05:10If we talk, then there must have been a lot of issues related to parents.

05:13Because somewhere in the mind of the parents.

05:15Maybe they are satisfied.

05:17But in the mind, there are some money issues.

05:19So, how did you connect the parents?

05:21And how did you make them understand that education is so important in today's time?

05:24So, the thing is that many guardians did not believe that education is important in today's time.

05:28They used to say that if you study today, you will get money tomorrow.

05:30Something like this happened.

05:31Now, 5 years have passed.

05:32But some guardians showed belief.

05:34They sent their 5 to 10 children.

05:36We worked on those 5 to 10 children.

05:38When they saw that the child who was supposed to study all, is speaking in English.

05:41So, the rest who were with them, their motivation increased.

05:44Then they sent them together.

05:45They did not reject that they should study.

05:47Then once when they give something for free.

05:49Then it has an impact on the outcome.

05:50The children started giving.

05:51Today, parents are also supporting.

05:53There are some parents who do negativity.

05:54And they also handle it.

05:56Let's talk about the children who are coming to you.

05:58What kind of children are they?

06:00Where are they from?

06:01From which place are they coming?

06:02The children who are coming, there are at least 50 such children.

06:04They go to the Jogi Basti.

06:05The children of the nearby villages.

06:07Is there a facility to take them?

06:09Yes, there is a well for the children.

06:11They go from the well easily.

06:12They do not have any problem.

06:13Let's talk about the message for the youth.

06:16Today is the youth day.

06:17You are doing a very good job.

06:19You are sending a good message to the society.

06:21What message would you like to give them?

06:22For the youth, it is enough to live a happy life.

06:25Do not worry too much.

06:26Develop a skill.

06:27Work on it.

06:28And life is one thing.

06:30There is no need to think too much.

06:33Just live your life as it is for now.

06:37If we talk about it.

06:39There was another question.

06:40If today's time.

06:42The youth is totally connected to social media.

06:45So if you want to save yourself from that.

06:47And join in such social activities.

06:49Or let's say if a youth wants to join you.

06:51So how can he work with you?

06:53First of all, do not save yourself from social media.

06:55You have to use the impact of social media.

06:58There are two aspects.

06:59One puts negative in your mind.

07:01One has a positive impact.

07:02You hold the positive.

07:03And work according to yourself.

07:05And those who want to join us.

07:06So come and meet the children.

07:08If you want to work in the field.

07:10You can teach the children.

07:11And wherever you can teach the children.

07:13I will support you from my side.

07:15How much peace do you get by doing this work?

07:17This work has become a soul.

07:19So there is peace.

07:21There is no problem.

07:23Life is very good.

07:25What is the plan for the future?

07:26I have made a vision for the future.

07:28This school has 300 students.

07:29And there are 300,000 students in the future.

07:30So slowly, slowly, slowly.

07:31This is what is happening.

07:32Who will you take with you?

07:33Yes.

07:34As good as you can take with you.

07:35Everything will come.
