Swami Vivekananda had visualized an education system—a man-making and character-building education. Such education will inculcate human values, moral and ethical values, and spiritual values that are necessary to save India, raise India, and glorify India.

A development cannot be called a real development without values. Creating awareness on moral values and spiritual values will help to build a positive, harmonious society and dutiful citizens, which will propel social and economic development in the state and the country. It will make people aware of their rights, instill dignity of labour, and build their self-esteem. More over, real development is possible when society is enlightened with spiritual knowledge.
