Kothari. Four walls are the walls of class rooms of educational institutes where the students and the teachers are expected to work together to develop good human resource for the welfare of mankind. However the present scenario is “India's destiny is being shaped both in four walls and outside the walls”. There has been the great belief and confidence of not only the educationists but also by the common people that education has a great impact on the society as a whole. Educational institutions happen to be the centers of human resource development and the learners who come out of these centers are expected to go the society and take up some responsibility including business.
