Ethical Values and National Development

Abstract 

Values are the pillars of a nation. India is a country based on ancient values. Our history shows that we live like a large family,the whole world is a big family for us.” Vasudhaiva kutumbakam” is a wise saying. Today, the Higher Education Department is giving important position to moral values in the syllabus. The question arises that why we need to have moral values in our syllabus, to get the answer we have to look at the society, we find that the level of higher education has increased but the level of values has gone down.Ethical Values include truth, love, peace, brotherhood, non violence, patriotism. We see that these are missing from the society, so to keep our values alive in our society the value based education is needed. The most important of the ethical values needed today is Patriotism.
