Opening quote..1..
“Education is the manifestation of
perfection already reached in man”
.“God gave me nothing I wanted, He gave
me everything I needed.”
–Swami Vivekananda
Remarks..
We believe that we should give back to the
society, more than what we borrow from it.
This idea will leave the planet richer for
generations to come.
With this thought, we enable technology
advances that make life easier and safer,
and we also enable education for all.
Observations ..
Ours is an Engineering & Management
institute. We get kids after 12th
These kids are the architect of modern
India
These kids need to be sensitized about
social responsibility at early stage.
Observations..

in life

Prevailing situation..
Too much materialistic attitude

Absence of motivating eco-system
Onslaught of technology ! (especially IT !!)
Too many distractions
“Gurutwa” model becomes an imperative with
a focus on “LIFE”
Motivation ..1..
Gandhiji’s trusteeship concept- Every member of the society is the
trustee of the wealth generated out of the collective efforts of all.
Trusteeship will result into non-violent and non-exploitative socio-
economic relations and development models based on production
systems centred around the preservation of nature.
His sustainable development is based on a holistic paradigm which lays
stress on all round development of individual and society in relation with
nature.
This thinking was based upon the ethical vision in which the individual is
at a central position. If inward change is achieved, outward change
takes care of itself.
A judicial shift from the Consumer Society to the Conserver Society is
required.

Value based education (VBE)
Our history and mythology taught us of
excellent values
There is need for imparting proper values
among the children.
The values inculcated among young
generation would remain with them
permanently.
The role of schools and teachers are very
important.
The feeling of unity and communal
harmony helps build values in a student
Value Education need to be taught through
mutual interaction and inter-communion.
The young should learn what is useful from
society point of view
Socially responsible education (SRE)
Trusteeship
Holistic
SRE
Closing Remarks..
SRE offers a challenge : As a change driver, as
a stimulus for new orientation
A balanced view need to be evolved
incorporating trusteeship, community and
holistic perspectives
Systems philosophy enables one to take a
balanced view
Vale based education can have a greater
impact on social good than any other institution
