POST GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN VALUE EDUCATION & SPIRITUALITY

      Today, Science and Technology have reached the pinnacle of glory. They have brought about miracles in every field, especially in Communication, Transportation, Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Healthcare. For instance, many diseases that seemed incurable yesterday have yielded to medical treatment. Science and technology have obediently placed at humanity’s feet luxuries that once were the sole prerogative of kings. However, although the material standard of living has risen for many, such progress holds no guarantee for making human beings happier or improving their character and behaviour.

      In fact, humanity on every continent is collectively facing extremes of hatredness, enmity, cruelty, violence, injustice, exploitation, corruption, as well as gross violations of human rights - particularly those of women and children, People world over have never been as unhappy as they are today. New diseases have raised its ugly head, bringing new forms of sufferings. Individuals everywhere are haunted by anxiety, tension, fear, insecurity and depression.

      The very purpose of Education is to improve the Quality of Life, not based on knowledge alone but value-based education and knowledge. Not merely believing in siklls for earning a living, Education also is for life. This doctrineis the cause for coming together and has made to sign MoU between Annamalai University and Brahma Kumaris Education Wing of Rajyoga Education and Research Foundation, Mount Abu. These two internationally known institutions will work together with a programme: “PG Diploma in Value Education & Spirituality”. This programme will surely help the students to mould their attitudes, humane in temperament, refined in approach and divine in spirit.
