Education should enable one to
cultivate good qualities, character
and devotion. The teaching of the
university curricula is only the means
employed for the end, namely,
spiritual uplift, self-discovery and
social service through love and
detachment.

Bhagawan Baba has designed the

system of Sri Sathya Sai Values-based
Integral Education in such a manner
7
that between the time an 18-year old
student joins the university and when
she or he graduates (at the age of 21 or
23) there is a deep inner transformation
that takes place. This concept is very
unique at the university level.

The Process

The diagram on the right forms the

basis of the system of Values-based
Integral Education at SSSIHL.

The base is the concept of a modern

gurukula that sustains all relationships
and activities at SSSIHL. It is responsible
for creating and sustaining the
congenial environment necessary for
the teacher-student interaction to grow
and develop.

Adherence to discipline and

appropriate behaviour are the two
important aspects that encompass all
interactions.

The five human values of Truth, Right

Conduct, Peace, Love and Non-violence
form the undercurrent of all the
dimensions of integral education.

A lower student-to-teacher ratio also encourages greater student
participation in class. In smaller groups, students feel more accountable

degree of accountability leads to better grades and higher levels of
achievement.

As a result, SSSIHL students have consistently performed very well- both

in internal and external/national tests and examinations.

The student strength has steadily increased from 1159 in

collaborations in the sciences between the university and external institutions like the FDA (USA), as well as collaborations on
multiple research projects with the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences (SSSIHMS) are testimonial to the rise in
the quality of research at the university. The number of doctoral research scholars has seen a 57% increase in five years from
fifty-one in 2011 to eighty in 2015. Research Scholars represent almost 6% of the total student population at SSSIHL, a figure far

Bhagawan Baba purposefully designed the system of Integral Education

so that while students spend 60% of their time on academics (intellectual
capacities), they also spend 40% time on the development of other qualities.

These qualities include a spiritual awareness, cultural talents, physical

capacities (sports and games) and fine tuning their higher sense of service to
fellow human beings.

OUTCOMES

Together, these Integral Education dimensions help develop a strong

character and positive qualities in students, including a broadened
perspective on life, self-confidence and self-reliance, dignity of labour and
respect for work, determination, dedication and commitment, sense of
equanimity, creativity and innovation, teamwork, selfless service, leadership,
entrepreneurship, time management and the quest for excellence.
