“Aim of education is personality development. There are many different branches of education but primary motto of all should be the character building of student. Today problem is embedded in all sects of education. Teacher has their own problems and on other side parents & students too are facing the same at their level. Some problem also lies in Government policies and its application procedure. The core of this situation is the lack of practical education. Students are pumped well with the theoretical knowledge but when it comes to practical application, all goes in vein. Theoretical knowledge can add weight to the student’s name but it is not worth for transforming his own personality & consciousness. In absence of emotional development, tension free, happy and good life is just like a mirage. School’s Management should give special emphasis to this. Teachers & management of each educational society must acquire the training of Science of Living for a minimum of 2-4 weeks. And if the same training is imparted further to students, then a student with balance personality development will be the product of school.” These guiding thoughts are given by Acharya Mahapragya to the Conference held by Terapanth Education Society at Anuvibha.
