Nai Talim, or Basic Education, is a principle which states that knowledge and work are not separate. Mahatma Gandhi promoted an educational curriculum with the same name based on this pedagogical principle.
In 1940 Shri Chitta Bhusan, hardcore Gandhian freedom fighter and follower of 'Basic Education', came to a remote village named Majhihira in the then Manbhum district of Bihar (now in West Bengal), where he founded the Majhihira National Basic Education Institution (MNBEI). He took his last breath on 7th February 2016 at 101 years old. He enjoyed a simple life and used a Charkha.
