Course Objectives:
1. To help students distinguish between values and skills, and understand the need, basic
guidelines, content and process of value education.
2. To help students initiate a process of dialog within themselves to know what they ‘really
want to be’ in their life and profession
3. To help students understand the meaning of happiness and prosperity for a human being.
4. To facilitate the students to understand harmony at all the levels of human living, and live
accordingly.
5. To facilitate the students in applying the understanding of harmony in existence in their
profession and lead an ethical life
Catalogue Description
Every human being has two sets of questions to answer for his life: a) what to do? And b) how to
do? The first set pertains to the value domain, and the other to the skill domain. Both are
complimentary, but value domain has a higher priority. Today, education has become more and more
skill biased, and hence, the basic aspiration of a human being, that is to live with happiness and
prosperity, gets defeated, in spite of abundant technological progress. This course is aimed at giving
inputs that will help to ensure the right understanding and right feelings in the students in their life
and profession, enabling them to lead an ethical life. In this course, the students learn the process of
self-exploration, the difference between the Self and the Body, the naturally acceptable feelings in
relationships in a family, the comprehensive human goal in the society, the mutual fulfillment in the
nature and the co-existence in existence. As a natural outcome of such inputs, they are able to evaluate
an ethical life and profession ahead.
Course Outcomes
CO1 Understand the significance of value inputs in a classroom, distinguish between
values and skills, understand the need, basic guidelines, content and process of value
education, explore the meaning of happiness and prosperity and do a correct appraisal
of the current scenario in the society
CO2 Distinguish between the Self and the Body; understand the meaning of Harmony in
the Self the Co-existence of Self and Body.
CO3 Understand the value of harmonious relationship based on trust, respect and other
naturally acceptable feelings in human-human relationships and explore their role in
ensuring a harmonious society
CO4 Understand the harmony in nature and existence, and work out their mutually
fulfilling participation in the nature
