1. To help students distinguish between values and skills, and understand the need, basic guidelines, content and process of value education.

2. To help students initiate a process of dialog within themselves to know what they ‘really want to be’ in their life and profession

3. To help students understand the meaning of happiness and prosperity for a human being. 4. To facilitate the students to understand harmony at all the levels of human living, and live

accordingly. 5. To facilitate the students in applying the understanding of harmony in existence in their

profession and lead an ethical life Course Description

Every human being has two sets of questions to answer for his life: a) what to do? And b) how to do? The first set pertains to the value domain, and the other to the skill domain. Both are complimentary, but value domain has a higher priority. Today, education has become more and more skill biased, and hence, the basic aspiration of a human being, that is to live with happiness and prosperity, gets defeated, in spite of abundant technological progress. This course is aimed at giving inputs that will help to ensure the right understanding and right feelings in the students in their life and profession, enabling them to lead an ethical life. In this course, the students learn the process of self-exploration, the difference between the Self and the Body, the naturally acceptable feelings in relationships in a family, the comprehensive human goal in the society, the mutual fulfillment in the nature and the co-existence in existence. As a natural outcome of such inputs, they are able to evaluate an ethical life and profession ahead.

Course Outcomes: CO1 Understand the significance of value inputs in a classroom, distinguish between

values and skills, understand the need, basic guidelines, content and process of value education, explore the meaning of happiness and prosperity and do a correct appraisal of the current scenario in the society

CO2 Distinguish between the Self and the Body; understand the meaning of Harmony in the Self the Co-existence of Self and Body.

CO3 Understand the value of harmonious relationship based on trust, respect and other naturally acceptable feelings in human-human relationships and explore their role in ensuring a harmonious society

CO4 Understand the harmony in nature and existence, and work out their mutually fulfilling participation in the nature

CO5 Distinguish between ethical and unethical practices, and start working out the strategy to actualize a harmonious environment wherever they work.
