Dharmashastra (religious law)
Source: Knowledge Traditions & Practices of India: Education: Systems & PracticesAdhyāyanavṛtti (अध्यायनवृत्ति) refers to “educational endowments” and forms part of the ancient Indian education system, which aimed at both the inner and the outer dimension of a person. Education in India was supported by the community. A gift in support of education was seen as the highest donation (dāna). All members of society supported the cause of education by offering food, gifts, shelter, etc. The wealthier sections of society substantially supported education by building hostels and making educational endowments (adhyāyanavṛttis).
Education was free and no fee was levied. It is recorded that wealthy students who came to study at the University of Nadiā in Bengal supported themselves while the university supported those of limited means. Kings supported the centres of learning through grants. In the South, whole villages, known as agrahārams, were dedicated to learning and teaching.
