I was at a juncture of my life where I had an immense desire to give shape to the lessons that life had taught me. I was looking for institutions and avenues that would equip me with the necessary abilities. Rashtram School of Public Leadership was a divine intervention in my life. I had no idea about what I was enrolling into. But, there was a sense of confidence and satisfaction that was assuring. Rashtram School of Public Leadership and the PG Diploma in Public Leadership has given me what I needed rather than what I wanted. The journey has enriched me more than my expectations. The program’s design in this holistic manner is only possible when the people involved are well-versed with the way of life that Dharma drives. I can proudly say that I know the grounding my life would require going forward. I thank the program and all my gurus for that. When the root is firmly planted, the tree grows strong. Rashtram School of Public Leadership and the accelerator program firmly lays the foundation. It is through our Viveka that we need to take it forward. I consider myself fortunate to be part of this journey of understanding the self, the Rashtra and the Dharma. I am thankful to the institution for allowing me to know and listen to some of the best thought leaders in the land. I have relished every moment of my stay at the institution. Rashtram School of Public Leadership will always remain a particular place; It has given meaning to my life, memories to cherish and most importantly, people who will stay with me forever.

I joined Rashtram in 2020 when it was part of VIF organization and just about to get institutionalized. One thing that inspired me to join the leadership program was the approach in which it was taught. I was very much interested to learn Indic knowledge systems and Rashtram helped me develop that approach to look at things from Indic lens.

Here I got introduced to public policy, which helped me develop a clarity in understanding complex global issues and curate strategies and frameworks to deal with them.

The activities we were involved in with other learners, which includes, yajna, sankirtan, bhajans, cultural events, yatra has made me very much self aware and enthusiastic about our civilization and further inspired me to develop a life long vision to  commit for propogating Indic values across the globe.

Being at Rashtram was a quite a fulfilling and special experience for me. A novel experiment that involves the use of education for cultural awakening was felt by me 

every moment during my stay at Rashtram. The curriculum including pedagogical innovation that tries to bring elements of our civilizational legacy to bear on our learning is the hallmark of the institute. I enjoyed taking 3-hour long sessions providing ample time for detailed discussion on every topic of interest. The enthusiasm and exuberance of the students, the concept of the architecture, and the use of space including the utility of the cafeteria where the process of learning gets extended beyond the classrooms make the setting a special one. On the whole, it was fun being a part of Rashtram.

Humility and intellectual integrity are the hallmarks of true scholarship. We are glad to see the students from Rishihood University fit the description accurately. We are also pleased to observe that students are driven to a larger purpose of nation-building. The effort of the University team is visible in the aptitude, attitude and work ethic of the students.

We congratulate the Rishihood university on its endeavours. We will be looking forward to receiving more students as our partners and employees—Jai Maa Bharati ki.

When I heard the name of ‘Rashtram’ for the first time, I felt as if this would be the right place to quench my thirst for ‘Bharatiya Shikshana’. Many times we witness that our imagination of the journey and the reality are totally different. Though it had some differences, from the vision of ‘Shikshana’ wish to call it ‘Nidhimoola’. It began with planting beautiful flowers. I’m sure that they’ll bloom with a higher soothing fragrance in the coming future. The man who taught with Rtachit, Sanskarabhyasa, Tarka, and Itihasa may turn either into a Muni or a Rishi. But both will serve the same purpose in two different ways. I would describe this journey as a stream of a river created by the addition of multiple lakes because many scholars have showered their knowledge on us. We promise to be aware in the Rashtra to serve a higher purpose by being a true Purohita.
