VALUE BASED EDUCATION – THE VITAL NEED OF THE HOUR.

Abstract

The Relationship between education and sustainable values is the most talked about issue in Indian education today. Successive commissions and committees on education, national policies and NCF have pleaded for “value orientation” of education through appropriate intervention. The sorry state today is ongoing and likely disaster of values. It is the value alone in human character context that is responsible for internal and external disturbance in the country and world as a whole. The so called disaster like global warming and nuclear threat could also be checked if disaster management is inculcated in educational purview both as a subject of academic study and as a foundational input in teacher education programme.. Although it is very hard to inculcate all the values in it still in the new scenario of 2 year B.Ed course top priority to this vision is to be paid. The researcher being a member of SRG group and co-ordinator of SSA visited a lot of educational institutions across the state of Odisha. The educational institutions can be divided into 2 groups such as ordinary academic institutions and value based educational institutions. The researcher interviewed at least 30 persons, 10 from B. Ed students, 10 teachers from Ordinary Academic Institutions and 10 from value Institutions like Saraswati Vidya Mandir. At the final outcome it revealed that rigorous effort must be there to ensure common minimum values at the schools irrespective of Government or Private
