Value Education from an Indian Perspective

There are indeed some books on Value Education by foreign writers, based on alien perspective. The present volume on this subject is perhaps the first one covering the entire field in Indian perspective. Dr. Gupta has written a number of books on Human Values with different angles and perspectives. The most noted are ‘A Search for Human Values’, ‘Values and Creativity’, ‘Neo-Humanism’ and ‘Human Values’, etc.

As a noted educationist and a reputed scholar, Dr. Gupta, the author of the book, has done a pioneering work in compiling all the information pertaining to the theory and practice of Value Education and interpreting its implications and applications in the school situation. The book reflects a deep study of the subject in all its aspects and furnishes valuable guidelines to build an effective programme of value education for schools and colleges, in terms of our national requirements.

The book will also assist parents and social workers to create conditions in homes and the community for children to develop desirable traits of character in relation to self and society.
