Values for Transformation

02

Editorial

Values are the standards of behaviour

in day-to-day activities and guiding

principles in critical life situations.

Values are ideal virtues and qualities

that are primary doctrines that shape

the worlds outlook. In the 21st

Century values education is the only

tool that could bring order, security

and assured development in the

chaotic world.It is a programme of planned

educational action and a methodical

effort deliberately framed to bring

transformation in the society. It starts

at home and continued in schools. It

begins with childhood and should be

present throughout ones life.The family system in India has a long

tradition of teaching values

effortlessly. But westernization,

urbanization, globalization and the

fast changing roles of parents have

necessitated institutional intervention

through schools, colleges, religiousorganizations and departments of

governments to meet the rising

needs of the modern society. These

activities focus on the development

of children and young adults by

concentrating on core values like

compassion, humility, unity, simplicity,

honesty, integrity, acceptance of

differences and peaceful

coexistence.

There has been a revolutionary need

for values education and it is

constantly increasing because of

greed and lack of unity in the society,

behavioural disorders and violent

acts of terrorism. In todays world

human values are either discarded ordistorted. Only when the basic

ideologies are restored, world will be

a better place to live in. In order to

preserve, maintain and advance the

position of our country in the world, it

is imperative that there should be a

comprehensive programme of value-based education starting from the

pre-primary level, embracing the

entire spectrum of educational

process (Parliamentary Committee in

India,1999).

Values education is strongly

recommended at all levels of formaland informal education. It is indeed

an intervention technique to prevent

the recurrence of scandals like CWG/

2G spectrum and witch-hunting the

whistle-blowers. Arent values in a

society the true indicators of the

development of any nation?

Conclusion

The younger generation of modern

India must be saved from the ill-

effects of the materialistic world. The

only way out is to catch them young.

While the western countries are

turning to India for cultural and ethical

values, our youngsters should not

be ignorant. They must showcase our

values by leading righteous life and

also be come model citizens in the

global village.
