Origin and History of Value Education in India: Understanding the Ancient Indian Educational system
Journal Title: IJAR-Indian Journal of Applied Research - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 3
Abstract
Contemporary educational system serves the intellect alone, while the ancient Indian education during the Vedic period laid emphasis on the all round development of the shishya. The aim of receiving education was not mere learning of knowledge or becoming proficient in certain skills for vocational efficiency; rather it was aimed at man making and character building education catering to the nurturing of the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual planes of the pupils. The inculcation of civic and social duties, promotion of social efficiency, spread of religious preaching’s and maintenance of culture may be described as the chief aims of Vedic education in ancient India. The present study aims to “understand the origin of value education in India”, tracing it back to the educational systems prevalent in ancient times, subjects taught, role of the Guru and the various approaches used to inculcate good values among pupils, in the Gurukulas.
