The gurukuls of yore used to provide education for free, with support from the largesse of the general society. Here's a modern day equivalent, with a significantly larger number of students than any gurukul would ever have been able to accommodate. And if five years of this is any indication, then the Kaliyuga is not as bad yet as it is made out to be.
The Deepshikha Mahila Club, one of the oldest ladies clubs of the twin cities, is organizing an exhibition called 'Deep Mela', where a sale of rakhis and a display of decorative items, salwar suits, ready-mades, toys, etc. will be held alongside food stalls with a wide range of eatables. Around 125 stalls will be there in all.
This mela is being organized to raise funds for its school called the Kanya Gurukul, in which around 1,800 girls are studying at different levels. The Deepshikha Mahila Club has been organizing this mela for the last five years, and has been utilizing the proceeds for its schools and other purposes like the education of poor children and the upliftment of the girl child.
