Human Values As Enshrined in Indian Constitution: an Empirical Study Rajani Ranjan Singh

Now days there is great deterioration in our ethical standards, loss of moral and social values resulting in great loss to families, society, nation and ultimately the entire world. The Constitution of India is the great source of human values and it emphasizes on promoting humanism through its legislative, executive and judiciary institutions. Education as supposed to be a powerful instrument of social change, has to be restructured and reoriented to promote the human values as enunciated in the Constitution of India, because the obvious need of mankind is to live in harmony and to nurture creativity so as to realize the goals of inclusive society. Multidimensional forces are working against the spirit of humanity what is embedded in the Constitution of India. Today, the status of our nation from the humanity point of view is very gloomy. Thus, a study of human values as enshrined in the Constitution of India of the adolescents has a great significance of its own. Adolescent phase of human life is very crucial for human values development. Here an empirical endeavour has been made to study the human values among adolescent students as enunciated in the Constitution of India.
