Abstract

Since independence till today, India is struggling with a major problem. That is public primary education. But till date he has not been able to achieve this goal, the main reason for this is the lack of pre-primary education. Pre-primary education is not present in the area or even if it is present, it has become a short form of primary education. While on one hand nursery schools are becoming the center of attraction, on the other hand rural regional schools are continuously losing their dignity due to lack of economics. The Government of India and the State Government are making efforts to overcome this problem. But despite all efforts, dynamism is not visible in primary education. From time-to-time thinkers have also paid attention to this. In such a situation, we remember Gijubhai (Shri Girija Shankar Bhagwan Badheka), born in Gujarat on 15 November 1885. Who made arrangements for life-enjoyable education for children, but after his death, his experiments in the field of child education remained limited to his children's temples. Due to lack of publicity and neglect of academics, he could not reach the national level. Today, the field of pre-primary education is continuously growing and Gijubhai's Bal Darshan is related to pre-primary education.
