CREATIVE HUT CASE STUDY
Over the years, the academic method of education has found to be less fruitful to the young generation. The passing percentage of the students in their academic courses are increasing. But at the same time their success in life is decreasing. Unboubtedly, there might be several reasons for the same. Some gets highly worried about the heavy curriculum pattern of academic studies, fear of future, loneliness, depression, anxiety, frustration, etc... On the otherhand, some faces family issues, health problems, addiction to smoking, alcohol, drugs, internet, mobile phones, etc…
Study states that in 2021, around 45% of college students in India of the age group from 19 to 29 years had symptoms of depression and anxiety. Irrespective of the gender, students of this age group face mental trauma and lack confidence in themselves. As a result, they fail in acquiring a good career and a better life. The challenging part of today's education is to make the students, their parents and the society realize the need of adapting a different education system. Particularly, a system that would enable the students to become creative, inovative and sustainable for a better future. Henceforth, here lies the foundation of Creative Hut Gurukul.
People behind
the ideology
Learning in a college with an atmosphere of city life never fullfills the education system in the media sector. The founders of Creative Hut experienced this while they started the college first in the middle of the town. The usual classroom system where students had to learn maximum time inside the four walls, was the biggest problem. To overcome this, there was a need of a new concept in the learning pattern with quality education. And thus the couple, Abin Alex (founder) and Anu Joseph (co-founder) came up with this unique ideology of Gurukul.
This study helped them understand the Indian traditional education system called "Gurukul" better. Gurukul was the home of teacher or acharya and was the center for learning and completed their education. Thereupon, all were considered equal as both Teacher and Shishya resided in the same premises. Here at Creative Hut Gurukul, students stay and study with their mentors. It's first of its kind in the media industry around the world. This unique ideology has acclaimed Creative Hut Gurukul as the first photography residential school in the world.

VICE CHAIRMANLearning Methodology
In Indian tradition, the term-"Guru’" means teacher and "Kula" means family or the home. Proper guidance is the essential factor in any learning stage. Teachers play an important role in shaping the character as well as the career of every individual student. Staying in one location enables teachers to understand each student's interests and analyze their skills. Support them in developing their skills to the next level. As it is well said that “Teachers are the second Parents”, here we implement it in its true reality. Being with the students 24 x 7 in the same campus, here teachers make their maximum effort to understand each student’s skills and interests, into priority.
In today’s generation, most of the youngsters and students experience loneliness in their lives. As a result, it cause them a fear that there is no one to listen and understand them. A Gurukul gives a feeling of a home away from home. The loneliness, fears and anxieties are no more when the students are in a place called Gurukul with a feeling of Family. And along with the academic studies, it is fun and fruitful to have a home school experience. Creative hut Gurukul turns to be the second home of every individual student.
Traditional Ideology
It's all about training oneself with biomimicry & problem solving. Such as finding the traditional remedies from natural resources like plants, fruits and flowers, etc… to overcome the physical health problems and maintain the mind and body to be healthy and stronger. It also includes the self cooking concept, where the students can cook the food of their interest amidst nature. It opens their minds and engages them in acquiring new knowledge and experiences.
Living with the Gurus or teachers, along with the students coming from different places, speaking different languages and of different cultures, allows each of them to learn how to accept one and all as they are. It makes them stronger to adapt to the situation and enables them to think wisely and cultivate problem solving skills in themselves. The aim is to make today’s students analyze the necessity and act accordingly. To find ways to overcome the situations instead of getting stressed due to it. To identify the problems and to sort those problems with critical thinking for better solutions.
MODERN TECHNOLOGY
Creative Hut brings together the aspect of building-up today's youth as a true learner. Rather than just becoming the certificate holders, here students learn from their mentors, the nature surrounding them, and the experiences of day to day life. Along with the professional career oriented course program, Creative Hut Gurukul aim in providing all of these with modern technology. The well-equipped studios, sound editing room, editing suite, etc... are adapted to get this latest technologies.
A selected number of students are enrolled here, who have keen interest in Visual media such as photography, videography and designing. They undergo and experience here this unique and traditional way of learning.Our students are taught to think creatively and critically. Thus encouraged to develop their problem solving skills. They are trained to work independently and collaboratively, by giving opportunities to explore different areas of interest.

Secondly, it is the visual media such as photography, videography, image editing and video editing that today's youth are attracted to. Visual media makes one engaged, and involved in it. Thereupon, the anxiety and frustrations that used to disturb them starts to disappear gradually. Indeed, it is one of the best solutions for the youth to reduce their stress, depression and loneliness.
When it comes to the idea of making the youth independent and confident in their lives with their inner skills and interests, Creative Hut Gurukul embedded the project with visual media education.

Visual images whether it's still or moving, plays a vital role in balancing our mental health. Although there are visual media courses and many course programs offered by different colleges around the world, Creative Hut Gurukul has a different approach. Learning from the mentors, by staying in the same premises of the naturally acclaimed environment is one important factors that makes it different from other courses and institutions.
Moreover, one starts forgetting about one's stress, and comes out of their depression and frustrations that they used to have in their past. Camera turns out to be their good companion. Finally they start loving the art and technology of capturing the visual images. And start making efforts to confidently gain income out of it. Compared to any other academic studies, the visual media studies enable the students to do what they love and love what they do.
Eco-friendly Environment
Ultimately, the campus environ,ment acts as a stress relief for all the students living here. The place for organic farming in the campus, is for growing vegetables, fruit trees, spices, coffee and pepper plants, etc. Students water and nurture those with care, which make them closer to nature. The food for the students is then made with these vegetables. Similarly, the birds and animals are also a part of this eco-friendly campus. It consists of a fish pond with a variety of fishes. Cows, and birds such as ducks, hens, turkeys, guinea birds, love birds, etc… are some of the attractive creatures in the premises that keep the students lively and pleasant all the time.
In addition to all these, Creative hut gurukul provides a mini forest in the campus. It consists of more than 100 trees including the wood trees, fruit trees, some of the rarely found medicinal plants, etc… This mini forest is the destination of a variety of birds every year. Approximately 28 different varieties of butterflies, insects and many birds find refuge in this mini forest area. The visual media study program enables the students to capture the birds and macro or insects from the campus itself. They learn to take ideas from nature and use biomimicry to make things last.
Here the waste including the plastic wastes, and disposable paper wastes are well managed. While the food wastes and animal dung are used for composting and further used as nutrients for plants. This project also ensures the use of solar energy for various purposes.
