Based on values of Swamiji Vivekananda brings out the inherent value of education through a practical and utilitarian orientation. He explains how it humanizes and elevates man by bringing out his spiritual character. A spiritual character is not enunciated but a person of strong convictions, who acts from a positive attitude to construct society on humanitarian ideals. Swamiji rightly expresses that education is the training which raises man from the level of a mere creature, shaped by forces outside it, to a self-reliant, dignified person, who is aware of the divinity and perfection that he as a human agent is capable of unfolding. Swami, it can be said that the new spirit infused by education, consists in an increased emphasis on the application of science to human affairs and the development of social solidarity Swamijis conviction that education alone can bring a change in the socio-economic conditions of Indian society, was based on his thorough and keen observation of the society. His conviction is based on the concrete reality of Indian society of his time, that is, of a particular time-but the way in which he elucidates the importance of education as essential for man making brings out the perennial value of education. When the story based on complete work was told the response from each was worked out the result was that the result was different, the anganwari worker knowable was better than the helper and adolescent girls, pregnant women and women. The teaching will help us to understand about each one and we can have different programs on each one Top Keywords Education, ICDS. Top |
