Abstract

In today’s era, known as the “Kali Yug” everyone is focused on their careers, money, competitiveness, status, want fulfillment, and so on. For all these materialistic items, new generations are willing to go to any length, even if it means sacrificing all of their values. In reality, the younger generations have no idea what values imply. The basic foundations of society are trembling. Family, education, and community all play an important part in shaping each individual’s good or poor character. Because nuclear families have both parents working, they will be unable to satisfy all of their sons or daughter’s expectations and demands on their own. Students at schools and universities are also members of a community with which they closely identify. Value education transforms him/her into a decent character and person. Young men or youngsters who are undesirable to society are an issue that must be handled. This research looks at the reasons why young are so undesirable in society, as well as potential alternatives. This study used both a primary and secondary data strategy. The study’s findings highlight the importance for educators, particularly teachers, in shaping the character of their students. This research strongly recommends the concept of incorporating value education into educational systems through the involvement of teachers, institutions and universities.
