Since ancient times, India was recognized as the land which first witnessed the mentor-disciple (gurusishya) traditional system imparting knowledge. The gurukul system was the seat of learning where knowledge and teachings were transmitted from the mentor/teacher (guru) to the disciple(sishya). The mentor was like a sculptor who gave shape and form to the life of a student.

The age of a student is no more restricted to primary or teens. Now anyone who wants to acquire a new skill can be a student. Further, education is no longer restricted to schools and universities. As we have stepped more towards a globalized environment, technology has started playing a crucial role in simplifying the education system by merging time and distance. No longer a student needs to travel interstate to acquire a specific form of learning – be it academics or upskilling some passion. No longer a working professional is restricted to the last degree he acquired before starting work. Online classes with flexible timings on multiple subjects and streams are now a trend for the upgradation of one’s skills and domain of expertise.
