Abstract

One major reason for the holocaust prevailing all over the world may be lack of values. Dr. Radhakrishnan has rightly commented, “You cannot make or build a nation by just bricks. You have to establish the minds of the young people.” According to Sardar Patel education without values is no use. M. K. Gandhi, a man of vision has also proclaimed that character formation is suitable foundation of education. Education in its totality refers to development of individuals. Therefore, it should nourish and awaken the noble qualities in human nature. It should nurture and assimilate values in education. It has been observed in the National Policy on Education (N.P.E 1986), “The growing concern over the erosion of essential values and an increasing cynicism in society has brought to focus the need for re-adjustment in order to make education a forceful tool of cultivation of social and moral values.”Thus, value education is required even in Higher Education to make a positive effort to bring about synthesis of physical, intellectual, emotional, aesthetic, moral and spiritual values in the students. Indian perspective clearly states that ‘ Good conduct is our supreme duty’. Actually our forefathers revered good conduct more than wealth. In this context the author endorses the plea to revive the philosophy of Indian philosophers to strengthen the fabric of our culture to make strengthen higher education. Key words: Higher education, education, Radhakrishnan, J. Krishnamurthy
