Value Based Education the Need for the Present Indian Education System

The period 3000BCE to around tenth century AD of Ancient India is the period famous as the Golden Sparrow. This era witnessed rich cultural heritage and economic booms, the bonding of traditions and values never got destroyed. ( Iyer, Rashmi ). The homes had no concept of locking system. India was known for its' famous universities like Nalanda, Takshila (TMNEWS DESK 2020) which were renowned worldwide. With the coming of Britishers India lost it's Value Education System of Ancient India. (Joshi, Ankur; Bibdlish, Puneet; Verma, Pawan Kumar (2014). At present we see how the society is diminishing in case of Values day by day, youngsters of today are bit confused because of bombardment of new technology, violent news by the press and media, they are a bit confused. In the present scenario the upcoming new generation is greatly affected by fashionable lifestyles. This influence has extremely degraded our morality system in the society. At such a crucial stage we need some policy makers to lay down some basic principles so that our life may be enlightened and helping in building powerful leaders for the nation, with focus on values of self-confident, good conduct, brotherhood etc. No matter what hurdles and problems hit our life hard. (Gunjun H. Shakshi, 1971) No matter the stepping stone of success hit us hard we on the basis of these value based principles will definitely bring success in our lives. The present paper is a sincere attempt to study the importance and need of Value Oriented Education for the present as well as future generations so that they can contribute in the development of society not in terms for the growth of materialism but stepping a step forward with all round development of humanity amalgamated with Physical, Social, Intellectual, Emotional and Spiritual Growth for holistic development of the Individuals, Society and Nation. In conclusion mere materialistic growth in today's so called modernized and progressive society is a partial and incomplete growth in society without values. It is like a matured tree without fruits. Success is based on values of good conduct, character building, self-realization, non-violence etc. Materialistic oriented mind leads to destruction of the society, on the other hand Spiritual oriented minds leads to construction of the society. And for this the students should be imparted value oriented Education by our social institutions, including family, schools, colleges etc. Citation: Prof. Dr. Prem Mehta.
