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.
