The Project E A R T H A - Gurukula Foundation is a dream project for us which will focus only on nurturing our glorious Cultural Heritage.
Our E A R T H A - Gurukula Foundation will be a centre to learn all about Art without any discrimination. Parents should encourage the children to learn different art forms along with their studies.
