Sarthak Gurukul
“When children come to Yellow Rooms after school, they need to do a bit of unlearning to reconcile the difference in approaches between their school and Sarthak Yellow Rooms. We started imagining “what if we have our own formal school that incorporates all the elements of the Yellow Rooms into the formal schooling structure”, and that’s how Sarthak Gurukul was born.”
