Values are regarded enviable, imperative and are apprehended with high esteem by a particular society in which a person lives. Values give meaning and strength to an individual's character by occupying a central place in his/her life. Values reflect one's personal attitude and judgments, decisions and choices, behavior and relationships, dreams and vision. Values add quality to life as well as contribute to the welfare of the larger social unit such as the family, the community and the nation of which an individual is a constituent. But growing global poverty, pollution, hunger, disease, unemployment, unsociability, caste system, child labour, gender inequality, and many such evils have caused value-crisis on the globe, adversely affecting the core human values and, as such, there is a great transition in human society. To overcome the problems of the present era, inculcation of values among individuals and promotion of values in educational system, as well as society, is highly essential. Thus, for the present study, the investigator made an attempt to study the prevailing values in the future teachers as well as made a comparison among Muslim and Non-Muslim students studying in B. Ed. section of Al-Barkaat Institute of Education, Aligarh. The sample for the study comprises 40 students, of which 20 are Muslims and 20 are Non-Muslims.
