Value based education: A need of today

Value education means inculcating in the children a sense of humanism, a deep concern for the well-being of others and nation. A nation with huge armed forces, nuclear weapons and atomic power could not be a strong one instead of a nation having citizens with strong character and willpower to cherish its traditional values is indeed a strong nation. Today research and development in various educational sectors like technology, medicine and others etc. break through innovation and progressive mindset- all of these are fruits of education. Educated people contribute towards advancements in every sector. So, education is the way of academic excellence and paves the path for economic growth of the country.

As a result of this most of our graduates run after money, power & comfort without caring for any value. So, this article will analyse various challenges before Higher Education Institutions in maintaining human values.
