Ahmedabad, Friday: Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today described the ancient residential Gurukul system of education as ‘Plus One’. It upholds the nation’s spiritual values in which the disciples acquire knowledge under the direct tutelage of the guru.

He invited the disciples of Swaminarayan sect, attending the function from different parts of India and abroad, to attend the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit at the majestic Mahatma Mandir premises at Gandhinagar and Rann Utsav in Kutch.
