Why to Talk about Values…..?

• The present youth are greatly influenced and affected by the violence, cheating, bribing, disrespect to others and society and unethical practices in the society

• Youth must therefor be guided to inculcate tolerance, peace, respect, caring and honesty at school and college levels

Why to Talk about Values…..?

• Institutions should help students to build their ‘Character’ along with ‘Career’

• With Value based education children go through ‘Positive Experiences’ and ‘Empowering Choices’.

• What children learn is later reflected in the society.

Greatest Challenge…

Who will lead the Value Education in the College?

21

Greatest Challenge…

• The teacher must Practice before Preaching

• A True leader will ‘Lead’ from Front and does not merely Direct from Back

22

Train the Leader…• The first step is to train the teachers

through Faculty Development Programmes

• Start with a small group and spread it across the teaching community

• Train the Student Leaders and encourage them to lead the student group

23

Summary

• Value Based education is the need of the hour

• In the absence of University Requirements for a value based education, introduce Voluntary Value Based Education to Students

• Train the Teachers and Develop a system to keep the Value added Education Programmes as a Continuous Process.
