Education during ancient India was not merely imparting knowledge, teachings of skills and values but it was a mission for man-making. As the old value tradition and spiritualism are slowly vanishing, the modern scientific and technological advancement has brought revolutionary changes in the educational system. But the present school curriculum fails to restore the human values and the teachers are not oriented towards value education. Re- engineering of the social and civic values in educational programs may yield good results for generation, which in turn may make the present century a worth living, peaceful and regardful like.
Keywords: Academic institutes, Gurukula, India, teaching-learning, value education, ‘Acharan’.
