Value Education towards Empowerment of Youth-A Holistic Approach

There has been growing concern over the erosion of values among youth and a need is felt for empowering them through education. Value education refers to those pedagogies that educators use to create enriching learning experiences for students and addresses issues related to character formation. Maharani Lakshmi Ammanni College for Women (MLACW) has partnered with DISHA, a NGO to conduct programs for students adopting a self-exploratory and scientific methodology. This paper presents an insight into the impact of such value education and reveals that a holistic approach to value education has enabled students to lead happy and successful lives.
