Abstract
Today, globally, a generation of adolescents
has shown serious tendencies towards drug abuse,
family instability, suicide, crimes,.general insecurity,
unhappiness, selfishness and other destructive
forces. This is a clear indication of the
degenerating process of human society. It is
unfortunate that making a fast buck has become
the philosophy of life of the modern generation as
most of them seem to hold firmly the view that
the extent of one's happiness is directly
proportionate to the extent of one's wealth,
possessions and status. All these can be attributed
to the changes that have taken place in the
value systems, the aspirations and the problems
they face in today's materialistic and highly
competitive world as competition has become
fierce abetted by parents, teacher and society.
The future of the Society can be decided
if the values to be inculcated and developed
in the young generation are in desirable
direction.' So in present era there is a strong
need of value education in adolescents for
preventing the deterioration of the society as
welt as the nation. The only effective anti-dote to
this cancerous malaise is value- based system of
education. It is not too late and before it is so,
conscious efforts must be made to impart valueoriented
education.
