A Study Of Values In Higher Education

Values are defined in literature differently from eternal ideas to behavioral procedures. Most often values refer to standards for determining levels of goodness or desirability. Values are generally loaded with affective thoughts about ideas, objects, behavior etc. Value education is ingrained in every tradition of Indian culture. Yet it is a matter of great regret that gradually we are lasing our values with the result that we tend to become comet and hypocrite. This trend must be checked urgently. Perhaps a major responsibility for the corrective action lies on our teachers, education policies and syllabus. Nevertheless educational institutions can also play a significant role in die promotion of values.
