Human civilization is known for the values that it cherishes and practices. Through the ages and in various places, sages, saints and seers, drawing on their experience, developed practices that placed central importance on values. Although the names they used differed, and their languages varied but the spirit was the same. Universal human values are values, which human beings cherish and hold in common, consciously and otherwise, in most of the places and times, and practice them.
This course aims at making learners conscious about universal human values in an integral manner, without ignoring other aspects that are needed for personality development.
