Knowledge without values is disastrous;

Mind without values is weak or debilitating;

Intelligence without values will not be delightful;

Heart without values will not be expansive.

The Value Crisis in our Society

• Value decline in all walks of life

• Lack of ethical leadership and governance

• We are 85th in corruption free index (source: Transparency Intl., 2009)

• Selfishness is predominant

• Lack of role models

• We are not building a stable and strong future


So, what do we do?

Laws, Law enforcement,

Rules, Systems & Procedures

Are not Enough

Nurture the sapling, and maintain the flower bed

Inculcate Right Values in Children at the Right Time

For this, many other areas have to be addressed

National Value Education

One of FRNV’s Focus Areas

Value Education – The Current Approach

• Focus is on the student/child alone

• Driven through a curriculum of Value Education

• The orientation is studying it like any other subject

• Inadequate emphasis on value-based living
