It lays much greater emphasis on practice and experimentation. Its nature and scope revolves around the bas problems of modern education including the problem of growing erosion of human values. For the revival of human values in the society and for the harmonious development of human personality, it has designed a conceptual framework on scientific lines. According to the framwork of Jeevan Vigyan (Science of Living), four factors, namely human mind, speech, body, and breath, play a valuable role in shaping the personality of an individual in a positive and integrated form. If these four factors work in a positive, balanced and integrated manner, the human personality is bound to develop in an integrated manner. On the contrary, if these factors are unbalanced or diseased, the personality of an individual will face mal-adjustment and unhealthy development.
