Immense need of value education today: Manmohan Singh

There is immense need for value education in contemporary times, former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Saturday, acknowledging that while subjects like science and mathematics form the backbone of regular curricula, value education keeps one connected to the roots.

Speaking at the launch of “Mission to Reboot Punjab through Value Based Education” by Benedict Paramanand, the former prime minister spoke about the contribution of Sikhs in transforming Indian society but regretted that the lack of value education among children often leads them astray.
