New Man : New World: Jeevan Vigyan

All of us expected our educational system to produce a generation of good men and women. Educationists also desire that today's youngsters should become good citizens of tomorrow; their attitude and behaviour be modified by education, but alas! this hope and desire remains unfulfilled because the system is incomplete, i.e. lacking in the elements of character development. It is abundantly clear that we shall have to supplement and enrich the present system with such training that can reinforce the student's reasoning mind, increase his capacity for bearing stress instead of buckling down, and help him to subdue fear, hatred, jealousy and lust. The comprehensive education must aim at enhancing and developing the positive attitudes and inhibiting and subduing the negative ones. The conventional academic education is totally incapable of achieving this. A graduate in all the branches of the conventional educational courses cannot enhance his ability to cope up with the emotional stress and mental tension by a single point, cannot develop positive attitudes unless he has been also educated through Jeevan Vigyan, which is supplementary education designed to achieve the virtues by awakening and developing man's own inherent powers. It has the capability of creating the highest product of evolution. It aims at not only physical and mental good but also total good.
