Course Objective
This introductory course input is intended
a. To help the students appreciate the essential complementarily between ‘VALUES’ and ‘SKILLS’ to ensure sustained happiness and prosperity which are the core aspirations of all human beings.
b. To facilitate the development of a Holistic perspective among students towards life, profession and happiness, based on a correct understanding of the Human reality and the rest of Existence. Such a holistic perspective forms the basis of Value based living in a natural way.
c. To highlight plausible implications of such a Holistic understanding in terms of ethical human conduct, trustful and mutually satisfying human behavior and mutually enriching interaction with Nature.
Thus, this course is intended to provide a much needed orientational input in Value Education to the young enquiring minds.
Course Methodology
The methodology of this course is universally adaptable, involving a systematic and rational study of the human being vis-à-vis the rest of existence. It is free from any dogma or value prescriptions. It is a process of self-investigation and self-exploration, and not of giving sermons.
Whatever is found as truth or reality is stated as proposal and the students are facilitated to verify it in their own right based on their Natural Acceptance and Experiential Validation. This process of self-exploration takes the form of a dialogue between the teacher and the students to begin with, and within the student himself/herself finally. This self-exploration also enables them to evaluate their pre-conditionings and present beliefs
