INTEGRAL EDUCATION 

"True Education provides the learners the experience of effulgent love."

"A manager has to be both Great and Good than that he makes a mark."

 

Unfolding the newer approach to awakening an integral education that would mean "Education for life and not for mere living". BIMIT, eversince its inception has been making prodigious efforts in blending modern based education with the valuable Indian heritage and culture. It exhibits Educational Integrity through :

#        Spirituality

#        Cultural Festivity.

#        Service Activities. 

The philosophy of education of BIMIT is based on the appreciation of the need to provide full scope for the development of body, mind and heart.  Discipline, duty and adherence to basic human values, which are the best qualities of students, are also being observed in various situations; in the campus and in the hostel or even during the festivals, study tours and picnic.

Once in a week after classes at 4:00 P.M. the students, teachers and staff assemble for Sarvadharma prayer  which  itself is a reminder of the essential unity of different faiths despite apparent differences in the details of ritual, worship etc. "A reverent glory of the essentials of all religions would be uniquely rewarding as a step towards harmony between religions long divided …… It is in the detached atmosphere of an academic institution that we can study, analyse and eliminate the prejudices and misunderstandings which disfigure inter-religious relations." 

Sarvadharma prayer promotes faith and devotion, improves memory and concentration, sharpens intuition and instills a humble and spiritual conception of fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man. Group singing promotes devotion and reverence, develops a musical sense and develops harmony of body, mind and spirit and also helps control outer senses and further concentration.

It is firmly believed, by our sages and saints or even our modern leaders like Mahatma Gandhi, Vinoba Bhave etc., that prayers and hymns elevate the mind, illuminate the intellect, sublimate the senses, purify the heart and awaken  the soul and help in establishing rapport with ourselves. Tennysone has said: "More things are wrought by egoism and its evil consequences."

The Model of Integral Education of BIMIT is a total re-orientation which goes to prove the feasibility of a viable model for a total reorientation to university level education. At the operational level, it delineates some of the salient features which could have great relevance in the larger context of formal educational systems. Five of these features are listed below:

(i)   an up-to-date and well balanced curriculum, meant to avoid stuffing of the brain with information, but promoting a spirit of enquiry based on current levels of knowledge,

(ii)  teaching methods imparting the right values aimed at promoting the learning capabilities and facilitating total awareness,

(iii)  an examination system which brings out the best in the students and makes a continuous assessment of his comprehension instead of making it a stressful one shot operation,

(iv)  co-curricular and extra-curricular activities, cultural activities, spiritual activities service activities and group activities which promote a team and community spirit instead of merely stressing individual excellence.

 

BIMIT’s Cross Curricular Education Model

With the Indian technical Education system by & large devoid of industry interaction & research initiatives, curriculum rigidly structured & institutional governance taking the toil, BIMIT has taken a quantum leap to provide cross-curricular learning outputs wherein the pursuit of the modes of learning & interaction with research & industry are encouraged.

The-ICRC, BIMIT’s Consultancy & Research Wing utilises the excellent talents & skills of students learnt during their formal education programme to help them develop innovative skills in applying information & management skills in problem solving in all major Application Areas. The exposure to which the Research Wing of BIMIT exposes its students is of immense value proposition relevant to bridging the slight awry between classroom & boardroom giving a hands-on-experience in the Application areas.

The Trade School concept of BIMIT prodigiously unites the multitudinous & fascinating phenomena of education’s role in industry & industry’s role in education by systematically treating Education & Industry to come together forging curricular exchange on Project to Project basis, Institution to Institution basis & on educational & personnel basis between Industry & Education.

ADORE, BIMIT’s Centre of Education-Industry Interface enables :

#     Induction of students in Enterpreneurship Education on a Continuing-Education learning opportunities on an ongoing basis. 

#     Post-Formal education & training to convey common message & common vocabulary forging mutual benefit & mutual interest in appreciation of the best that  the Industry &  Education can do for each other.
