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.
