Volume : II, Issue : XII, January - 2013 HIGHER EDUCATION AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY S. B. BASHETTI Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The aim of education is to make human beings civilized. In the same way, the
aim of higher education is to inculcate social responsibility among students. The
present higher education system is lacking in this aspect. It is the need of the hour to
correct it. Traditionally, Indian education stressed on the moral, ethical and social
values. Tagore's Vishwa Bharati is an example of it. It is the model for other universities
to follow it. Indian higher education is at cross roads. Many problems are arising due to
globalization and liberalization. Hence, our teaching faculty has to be trained to enrich
their skills of teaching. Teaching is not mere by transferring the information to the
students. It is something beyond that.
Social services activities in colleges have to be increased to develop social
responsibilities among students. Students should take interest in societal activities along
with their studies. And in doing so the teaching community also has a pivotal role to play. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : S. B. BASHETTI, (2013).
