Imparting Ethics and Moral Values in Technical Education

The present paper is an attempt to state the importance of value education in the present education system so that the future generations will nourish high ideals and values to contribute in the development of the society and the role of a teacher in imparting ethical & moral values to the students. We the authors have prepared this paper keeping in mind views of Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam, our honourable president. In his book “India2020: A Vision of the New Millennium’ has rightly remarked that “If you are a teacher in whatever capacity, you have a very special role to play because more than anybody else it is you who are shaping the future generation. A teacher has a higher responsibility as compared to other professionals as students look upon the teacher as an embodiment of perfection. Education has become a business today. This has changed the outlook of the students as well as the parents and it has further resulted in deterioration of respect for teachers and all those who are a part and parcel of education system. Gautama Buddha has rightly preached “Desire is the root cause of Evil�. Students are told not to fulfill their desires by improper ways, by adhering to immoral activities.
