Character
:
Our present crisis is in fact the crisis of character - the
crisis of value. Sethi blames the Government for this crisis. He observes that
after independence, the crisis in India is not due to economic factor but is
politically created by faulty planning.[2]
According to Dr. Manohar Wadhawani, “Noble, spotless,
shining, moral Character is the sum of Purity of Thought And Its Power, Purity
of Speech And Its Power, Purity of Action And Its Power, Positive Mental
Attitude And Its Power, Purity of Love And Its Power, Robust Enthusiasm And Its
Power, Self Confidence and Faith in Others And Its Power, Discipline And Its
Power, Industry, Patience and Perseverance And Its Power, Appreciation of
Others And Its Power, Strengthening of Emotional Intelligence.”[3]
The views of Mr. R. Rena about the Value-based Education for
Human Development in Eritria are most fitted to the Indian contemporary
education scenario. “The student community is drowned neck-deep in poverty,
ignorance and unhealthy surroundings. Hence, they are not in a position to
understand the real values of contemporary India. The present curriculum some
extent reflect human values and the value system. Besides, the Indian schools
and colleges have to promote the value-based education.”[4]
