Explanation:
Life is, day by day, becoming complex and complicated. Crisis in character and loss of values are reflected now in every sphere of human life. Standards of moral and social life of our people are gradually declining. The norm of family, society, politics, professional ethics, secularism, democracy etc. is going down and coming under strain.
Wide-spread disturbance, chaos, confusion and dislocation in life have become common phenomena. Belief in higher ideal is no more found. Corruption is rampant. Contradiction in living is the order of the day. We well-realize the deteriorating conditions of the system of values and ethics in our daily life.
Different Commissions and Committees in our country have expressed their deep concern over the declining hold of values in human life and they emphasized on providing value-oriented education.
