Importance of Education

Education is the only tool to uplift Indian society from age - old afflications, responsible for its degenerate conditions. Our society needs a man - making education which would lead to nation - building. This type of education has the capacity for the social regeneration of Indian society because it is supposed to have the potential of purging the human mind of mental decadence, that is the tendency towards ignorance, laziness and a resigned attitude which accepts anything that is prescribed without personal reflection.

The prevailing unscientific attitude has to be replaced by a scientific attitude, whose constituents were objectivity, rationally and a critical temper without the inculcation of a critical, scientific attitude it was not possible to bring the social and economic regeneration of Indian society.
In the social context, the development of a humanistic attitude which impartial and free from the clutches of individual differences of caste community race, religion ad nationally and dogmatic irrational beliefs and practices.

A development of the human self could be achieved through education, which involved the training of the physical and mental self with the aim of elevating both to the highest spiritual level.
The concept of man - making education thus gives an extremely dignified optimistic and realistic picture of the human personality. Man making education had to be purposive and free from narrowly conceived objectives. Education should be for all and it should involve a continual growth of personality, steady development of character and the qualitative improvement of life. Education should not involve simply stuffing of the brain, but the training of the mind we want that education by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased the intellect is expanded and by which one can stand on one's own feet.

According to Swami Vivekanandha " The end of all education should be man making. The end and aim of all training is to make the man grow. The training by which the current and expression of will are brought under control and become frutiful is called education."
