To develop in accordance with Gandhian philosophy of education ;
The phrase Nai Talim – Nai  means “New” and Talim , which is an Urdu word, means “Education”. The Nai Talim concept of Education can be better explained in the words of Swami Vivekananda, who has given a remarkable definition of education. He says, ‘Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.' He stated that all knowledge, spiritual and secular, is stored in the human mind, just as a huge banyan tree lies within a tiny seed. The function of the teacher is only to help that seed sprout and grow by offering suggestions. Gandhiji emphasizes the role of the teacher in the learning process. The child's relationship with the teacher is significant. Further, the distinction between teacher and the taught gets blurred during the teaching-learning process since both pick up knowledge through praxis.

The teacher helps the taught to prepare him/herself for a larger life. The methodology of Nai Talim lays special accent on the relationship between the teacher and the taught. There should be a perfect understanding and mutual empathy between the teacher and the taught. This is possible only when they live together and participate in the learning process. Besides, obtaining faith, sympathy and mutual respect between the learner and the teacher is important in all Nai Talim institutions. The endeavor of Nai Talim is to achieve a harmonious development of head, heart, and hand, based on sound moral principles.

In his experiments, Gandhiji was very clear that he would work for an education that will not make the person, a servant. Perhaps, he becomes a servant of livelihood, which is a very small part of his entire life. This is not education. True education should give a practical knowledge.

One of the core ideas of Nai Talim is that, education is child-centric, correlated to the swabhava of the child, particularly the Basic and Primary education. The child is not burdened with the idea of learning and education. Gandhiji was experimenting and designing an education process to make masters, not servants! Gandhiji's model is timeless and is not past, present and future bound. In his pattern of learning systems, there is a correlation with the environment and that is how knowledge connectivity will be more organic.
