 Oriental Learning in India                                                                  

 Oriental Research Institutes are institutions specially devoted to Indological studies. Indology  is the science study of culture in all its aspects. With the disappearance of the Gurukula System and the ancient universities like those at Nalanda and Takasila and also the gradual dissolution of the powerful kingdoms by conquests from outside, it become necessary to evolve a method by which the ancient knowledge and wisdom the country could be revived and preserved. 

 It is the westrem scholars of the 19th and the 20th centuries who were mainly responsible for this revival, though many scholars also har contributed considerably to it. The work of these institutes consisted chiefly in the collecting and collating rare manuscripts in the oriental languages like prakrt and sanskrit dealing with religion, philosophy, literature, grammar, arts and sciences, editing them and publishing them with or without translations and explanatory notes, where and when such publications are not possible, the manuscripts and other connected materials are preserved by using various modern and dcientific devices.

 Conventional Learning                                                                       

 Traditional education, also known as back to basics, conventional education or customary education, refers to long-established customs that society traditionally used in schools. 

 e-learning is short for conventional, learning, it refers to conventional teaching and learning  within a brick-and morden classroom facility. Contrast with e-learning conventional teaching method involving instructors and the students. 




 Conventional Learning in India                                                         

 In most parts of our country traditional teaching methods are used in the educational institutions. In the traditional teaching method, teachers illustrate the concept to the students with the help of chalks and blackboard. Every important thing regarding the topic is written on the blockboard and students make important notes from the blackboard. After the lecture is over student revise their notes and try to memorise the notes. The main objective of traditional teaching is to pass the examination. Traditional teaching system has its own merits and demerits. 





 Merits of Conventional teaching methods                                          

 Traditional teaching method is cheaper than the modern teaching methods which make it more suitable in the schools of rural areas. Some subjects like mathematics or chemistry are best thought on a blockboard as there is a need of explaining the concept at each every step. There is more interaction between the teacher and student in traditional teaching methods as compared to the modern teaching methods. We can also say that in traditional teaching there is more discipline in the class. In traditional teaching methods teacher does not require any special technical knowledge and can focus more on his subject for importing the best knowledge to the students. Traditional teaching methods don't put any strain on the eyes of students whereas modern teaching methods can adversely affect the eyes of the student. 





 Non-Conventional learning                                                                

 Non-Conventional education is education that is offered in way is other than common day time college classrooms. There are many versions of non-traditional education, such as college pre-education, evening courses, independent learning, online tearning, residencies, cross registration and one-on-one learning. The knowledge is termed as non conventional learning it is contrast with conventional learning. 




 Non-Conventional learning in India                                                  

 As India rolled into the 21st century, this generation has broken the chains of conventional doctor - engineer - MBA paths drawn out by a more rigid society of the past and replaced the cookie-cutter thought process with a slightly more inspired one. Creative courses are now abundant, widening the scope of career choices in India and making alternate journeys in a life a possibility with new avenues and opportunities on the horizon India's youth in expanding the definition of learning.
