Abstract:
Education is the only medium for transmission of knowledge as well as modification of behaviour and characters of a human being. Education has been accorded an honorary place in the society (NPE, 1968). Education is a fundamental pillar of human development which not only shapes the intellectual growth but also helps in the cultivation of essential values that guide individuals throughout their lives beyond academic knowledge. Education is closely associated with values and must develop in learners’ caring, co-operation and respect for one another. Our educational policies and the curriculum framework all along have emphasized the need for value education co-curricular activities play a very important role for inculcation of values in the school students (Yadav, V., 2021). As per NPE 1986 the essence and role of education is that education is essential for all for all round development i.e. material and spiritual. Also, the NEP 2020 emphasizes on the holistic development of child. The holistic development of child not only indicates the development of cognitive domain but also emphasizes the development of affective domain and psychomotor domain of the child. The development of all the three domains should be developed simultaneously.
