Inaugurating the “Amity Human Values Quarter”, Dr. A K Sharma- Former Chairman, NCERT said that everyday the spirit of human values need to be exercised. Human Values have to be made a way of everybody’s life. The right age to instill human values in a person is when he/she is young and thus impressionable. He opined that education is a powerful tool for ingraining human values in a person but for that teachers have to play a dual role that of a disseminator of education and of a perpetuator of values, which is a big challenge for teachers.
