By living among them all and without changing any system. their education will have to manage without harming the balance of nature. Formal education will have to be managed.

In one evening…… I felt the sound of some steps following me…. I looked back ……one 7 or 8 years old girl was walking behind me…. her eyes were shining like stars. she asked me….. are you a police ? I laughed and asked …. why ??she replied innocently….. girls don’t wear shoes…. only police wear…then I asked to her….. do you want to become a police?? do you study ???? she said no …. I catch fish with my father and in evening cleaning the grass in the park with my mother….. From there story of Tara started….

10. Akhila Saroha: In the present time, the ideas in “Tara Ka Ghar” do not find much mention. What, according to you, could be the possible reason for that?
Jyoti Kiran: The growing city and its glare has affected people….. but it has also disturbed the balance of nature. In present time…. I think we should save children from artificial life. To make them kind hearted and social …. we should also inspire them to spend time with modern gadgets as well as nature also.
when we are blindly moving towards cities….. leaving agriculture …..and adopting industries….. forest are being cut in discriminately …….I think this is the right time for this story.
