covers the range of education. It does not end at the confinement to instructions imparted in educational institutions nor a inere intellectual development of a person. It is a life-long process, individual as well as social. It is a dynamic process. It provides opportunities for the flowering of human personality, manifestation of the qualities that are inherent in a person. It marks a propulsion from internal to the external and vice versa in the attainment of deep-level traits, a creative orientation ultimately to overcome self-sense and egoism.

It is propellant and propitious in nature that peps up person/persons for its dissemination. It also proffers to win weal of decline and deceleration of value/values in which it seems losing its weight.
Education displays knowledge and many things more like expression-level quality of culture and learning, the level of quality acquired, developed level of special and general abilities of minds and, refined and promoted mode of thought and feelings through learning and experiences ultimately to put on display the positive
