NEED FOR VALUE EDUCATION DURING CHILDHOOD

The world at present is passing through a great crisis with many problems in changing trends, which is marked by tremendous scientific and technological advancement. This era is marked by the explosion of aspirations for achieving material goals. These in turn have brought about a corresponding decline in human's moral, spiritual and ethical values creating many problems, making a negative impact in human minds and thought patterns. All sections of the population are becoming increasingly materialistic, artificial and self-centered. As a result there is frustration and insecurity which have led to exploitation and violence. Hence, material advancement has also brought about tension, conflict, competition, social distance, alienation and rivalries.
