What is Value Based Education?
• Value based education is a three fold development of any
individual of any gender and age, but most importantly of a
child. Education tries to develop three aspects: physique,
mentality and character.

• Even though physique and mentality are important, they are


menaces without the third because character is the greatest
of these. Education plays a huge role in precisely this area.
• Value based education is a tool which not only
provides us a profession which we can pursue but
also a purpose in life. The purpose of our life is
undoubtedly to know oneself and be ourselves. We
cannot do it unless we learn to identify ourselves
with all that lives.
• These values include the simple difference between
right and wrong, a belief in God, the importance of
hard work and self respect.

• Humility, the spirit of selfless service to society,


friendliness, discipline, adherence to truth,
nonviolence and faith in God.
• Sanyam
• Niyam
• Shraddha
Missing in Higher Education:
Why Value Education is Important?
• Our education system at best produces young people
who are ignorant of their own tradition.

• The boys and girls who have these qualities alone will be
the nation's treasure of virtue and ensure its future.
• Without these sacred qualities, all education is valueless.
Does literacy or degree constitute education? Without
wisdom and virtue can one be termed an educated
person? True education is that which fosters the sense
of oneness, draws out one's divine qualities and
promotes the blossoming of human personality.
The four hallmarks of a true student
• Man should stand out as a seeker of truth. The student should
practise the truths he has learnt and use them for the good of
the society.

• Students should aspire to promote the nation's well-being, its


security and happiness. Selflessness, absence of egoism,
unostentatiousness and true love should be the hallmarks of a
true student.

• A student's life should radiate light all around. Vidya means


light. It is to make this illumination available to the world that
students should pursue education.

• Students should desire to enjoy the bliss derived from Vidya


(education) and not the pleasures of Vishaya (worldly
objects). Students should aim at being masters of their
senses and not their servants.
Quality and not quantity should be increased

• Students today lack the capacity to discriminate between


right and wrong.

• The authorities feel that education is progressing in the


country. There are more educational institutions and
more students seem to be receiving education.

• But no one seems to bother whether they are really


getting educated at all.

• Mere increase in the number of educational institutions is


not enough. We must look at the quality of education.
Standards have to be raised. There are many reasons
for deterioration in educational standards.
Students should serve the Motherland first
• One should learn  what our motherland is  ! 
• Realize the greatness of Bharat!
• One of the  richest  countries  even today in the world ! 
• Only  thing is that  we are ignorant  on our  greatness !

• In the word of Kennady “ Ask not what your country can give you,
but what you can give to the country”
