Values should be integrated in various aspects of life. It goes without saying that values go a long way in building a person's character. Education without strong character is like a ship without a captain. Good education is inconceivable if it fails to inculcate values which are indispensable for a holistic life. Qualifications and skills are essential in the success of an individual but without values he is incomplete as a person. Values are virtues that are imbibed by the children from their surroundings, the environment in which they are brought up, the environment in which they live.
