Moral and Personal values in Human Behaviour*
www
Behaviour is the responses made by an individual towards different stimuli. To modify the behaviour of an individual, education is the most important tool in the hands of a society.
Rashmi Dhar
Since ancient times, religion has been the basis of Indian education. In 1882 for the first time Hunter commision officially opposed the introduction of religions in education. Then by Indian Universities Commission in 1902, Calcutta University Commission (1917-1919) gave similar views. In 1938 under 'Vardha Plan' Gandhiji was of the opinion that the truth implicit in all religions should necessarily be imparted to the children. Religions should inspire and be infused into every kind of education. Religious and Moral instructions are of basic importance in the formation of character. In 1958 Dr. Radhakrishanan Commission suggested that in all educational institutions daily Morning Prayers should be conducted. Knowledge about lives and teachings of world famous religious leaders, special features of different religions and religious philosophy should be imparted in Higher Education. Sriprakasha Committee (1958) felt the need for moral and religious education. Religious and spiritual values should necessarily be developed. Separate text books for moral instruction should be prepared. The Kothari Commission (1964-66) has said that the inculcation of spiritual, moral and social values is essential for national development.
Today, weakness of social and moral values in the younger generation is giving rise to many social and moral conflicts in our society. Knowledge and skill should be balanced, science and technology should be brought into relationship with morality and religion. The meaning of life should be understood. Human relation should be understood and the real truth should be widely published. Why we are not being successful in improving our social system by inculcating proper values among youth through higher education.
