“The human value concept…[is] able to unify the apparently diverse interests of all the sciences concerned with human behavior.”….Rokeach.
Various Definitions: a) Roketch: Value is defined as enduring belief, a specific mode of conduct or end state of existence along with continuum of importance.
b) Kluchhohn: Value is a conception of desirable and not something desired.
c) Shaver: Values are standards and principles for judging worth.
d) Gawande: It is an adjusted human behavior which is conductive to the development of himself, society, nation and international understanding.
When human values are inculcated through curriculum to transcend to cognitive, affective and psychomotor level for conducive development of individual, society, national and international understanding, it is called value education.

Value Education as Holistic education
The concepts of morality, ethics, duty, honesty, sincerity, kindness and compassion should be imparted to each person. Each person should know how to adjust with others and be prepared to sacrifice his whims and pleasures for the benefit of the group or family so as to avoid conflict and live in harmony.
Individuals who are living engrossed in sensory engagement cannot understand the detrimental results of their own actions. It is the responsibility of elders and enlightened people the best way of life, and then disseminate the knowledge through all available media. Such a planned method of living should be inculcated as a holistic education in all institutions to truly civilize all people, whatever may be their other fields of study.
Through holistic education, each person should know himself as completely as possible, i.e., his body mind, knowledge, consciousness, genetic center, and brain function, including the process of storing and releasing all the experiences of life.
In the earlier age of life it is necessary for everyone to be given these education for prosperity, happiness and peace of the society. Because of a lack of these imperative systems of education poverty, crime, conflicts, problems in life and wars emerge. Absence of such proper education results in the torturing of mankind and suppressing the development of consciousness. The purpose of life is being lost.
As a result of holistic education one would know the values of human life like
•How to respect others
•How to be aware and avoid doing harm
•Being ready to help others in all possible ways.
These values are the culmination of our inborn sixth sense and their implementation is the very purpose of human birth.

Significance of Value Values play a significant role for the promotion and realization of human rights in any society. Values help to crystallize any legal action and play a very important role in the development of a society. The strict adherence of each of these values not only helps in the realization of human rights but to establish the concept of one world as envisaged by international law.
The values such as dignity, liberty, equality justice, ethics, and morals et.al., have had their significant impact to shape the human relations in a society. Being the main function of law, it absorbs all the essential tools from every field of study with a critical outlook and help to analyze each issue and lay norms to develop a rational human mind to achieve maximum results in their inter-relationships with each other.
Acc. To Martin Luther King “The prosperity of a country depends not on the abundance of its revenues, not on the strength of its fortifications, nor on the beauty of its public buildings; but on its cultivated citizens, in its men of education, enlightenment and character.”

Aim of Education & Value Education
Aim of education is all round development of individuals i.e. intellectual, mental and functional development. Though cognitive and conative domains are developed through today’s educational system, affective domain cannot receive its proper place.
If moral, social and spiritual values are exchanged through the media of subject& content, emotional development will easily be possible. Following are the chief aims of education:
1. Knowledge
2. Understanding
3. Application
4. Skill
5. Interest and aptitude
6. Appreciation
7. Inculcation of human values

Evolution of Value-Oriented Education Formation of character through education had its important place in Indian education system right from the Vedic period. Till at the end of Sixteenth century, the place of character formation through education was unquestionable. The medium of character formation through education was religious and therefore religious institutions tried to educate persons in character building during their period and sphere. Inclusively after the arrival of Britishers in India, the aim of Indian education was changed. The aim of education to them was thus very limited. Some functional literacy including knowledge of subjects were introduced. In the Education Commission of 1882 only, moral education was recommended.
In pre-independence and after independence, several commissions and committees recommended character education, religious education and moral education. According to National Education policy of 1986, moral and religious education were broadly defined and coined into value education.
