Abstract

Creativity almost involves critical thinking in selecting from alternatives and evaluating outcomes and solutions. In some children, the creativity urge is strong enough to find expression. Therefore, the most crucial concern, today for schools has been to explore the aspect of creativity and how far it is being emphasized as part of schooling and in what ways does it contribute to creative expression among the students? It also requires an urgent attention to be paid to the harnessing of the qualities of creativity on the assumption that a learning society not only needs intellectually facile people but also, and more especially, creative and constructive people to attain the target of sustainable development not alone in the world of education but also in the making of a fast developing society. The primary function of education should be to identify creative potentialities in children and to plan the educational curricular and programmes, in such a manner that creative abilities are developed among them and their talents are harnessed to the fullest possible extent. This is a challenging task which the teachers must take up for the progress of the nation. Enhancing creativity is important not only for individual but for the whole society. The condition to enhance creativity is to make it clear how about the process of creativity development or expression and the mechanism of individual or environmental, cultural influences, which is a somewhat new, meaningful and challenging topic for psychologists. The studies help in understanding the environment of Person's home. Home environment reflects a lot to individual's Personality. Home environment has some significant relationship with individual's creativity. The need for a study to examine the impact of home environment on creativity of children seems quite important. This study focuses on various aspects of the Home Environment which help in enhancing the creativity among students.
