Urie Bronfenbrenner is an American psychologist who developed the Ecological system theory. His ecological system theory consists of four systems; micro-system, meso-system, exo-system, and macro-system. Similarly, Bronfenbrenner explains how these systems affects the development of a child.

Later in her life, she had a vocational education. Whereas, my grandfather was able to get education. There was not school during his time, so he used to go to his “gurus” (teacher) house for education. There he learned about Sanskrit language and read holy books (of Hindu religion) like BEDH, PURAN, GEETA and so
