During the Tenth Plan, the UGC plans to promote value education and human rights and duties education in universities and colleges. Realizing that there is erosion of human values and desecration of moral landscape and also that disproportionate and excessive emphasis on the rights of citizens, as against duties has ignored the fact duty is inalienable mandatory part and source of right, value education should be made an integral part of various regular courses and programmes. This volume is a collection of 33 essays contributed by educationists, religious thinkers, educational administrators and social scientists. The thoughts expressed in these writings will help the readers to understand the fundamentals which are the roots of various dimensions of human values. The solution to human problems at global level lies in value based living and that is possible only if a person becomes true human being. It is education that develops the humanness in a person. Besides formal education, the role of parents, teachers and societal environment is of paramount significance in helping the child to develop human values, the source of which lies within as person.
