Description:
Values make human beings what they are; the way they are different from the trained beasts or programmed robots. Value inculcation, hence, is highly valued in human society across cultures and geographical boundaries and down the corridors of history. It begins at birth at home and moves on till late in schools, colleges and at work places. Value Education finds an important place in educational curriculum since ages. Yet, it remains a debatable theme among students, parents, teachers and educational policy makers, planners and managers; more so in Indian higher education.
Target Audience:
This book is useful for students, parents, teachers and educational policy makers, planners and managers; more so in Indian higher education.
