Srinivas Guttal, Founder, Pūrṇapramati School, explained the concept of Pūrṇapramati in his talk. He shared his experience of running an experimental school in Bangalore-India for the last 20 years and spoke of the need to protect “rich ancient knowledge”. Highlighting the success of a project to rejuvenate river Kumudvati near Bangalore, he said this was possible because of the involvement of the student community. Sreenivasa is part of a founding team of an alternative integrated learning center, Purnapramati, whose vision is to identify and nurture the Svadharma (natural and individualized diversity) of each Pūrṇapramati-iya through integrated learning within and across Ä€dhibhautik (physical) Ä€dhidaivik (mental) and Ä€dhyÄtmik (spiritual) dimensions for BÄ«ja-raká¹£Ä of ParamparÄ (preserving the seeds of traditional knowledge and values)
