Todays modern era is era of globalization. Inclination of our youth toward western life style and culture is natural. This

inclination is not only limited to youth, almost everybody in country is running a blind race of cut throat competition to

accumulate more money and things of leisure and pleasure. In recent years increase in percentage of crimes committed

by youth especially adolescents has created a line of concern on the face of parents. Root cause of the problem lies in the quality of education we

are providing to our child. Parents are putting more emphasis on materialistic education based on educational achievements of child, neglecting

the overall development of child. Not only parents but teachers and schools are also responsible for misdirecting the direction of education.

Even our curriculum and syllabus is also not favourable for teaching moral values to child. But now parents and teachers both have recognised

the importance of value education in life of an individual. In early childhood before going to school, it is responsibility of parents to incorporate

essential human values in child. Once he or she is admitted to school it is expected that parents and teachers will jointly carry out their duty to

teach him values for making him better man or woman who can stand tall in life even in worst situations.
