At present, it has been found that there is pure deterioration of values in schools, mainly due to the materialistic settings where much importance is given to the material world and not to the humanistic world. The values present a true perspective of the development of any society or nation. They tell us to what extent a society or nation has developed itself. But today we are facing the problem of value degeneration. The investigator believes that Values are deeply related with our life span, they are concerned with aims of our life and they direct us to move and behave in various life situations. Education plays a very important and significant role in shaping the value system of the individuals from the very beginning of one's life like. Values education is also a part of life that is why values and education are inseparable values are embodied in educational practice.
