on how children grow up today.
There is no greater insight into the
future than recognizing that when we
save our children we save ourselves.”

The TEACHERS
are the builders
of the nation’s future.
The classroom is where
we will shape the mind and character
of the next generation.
Beyond knowledge and skill,
what the nation needs is
a generation of leaders
with integrity and character.
what we need are teachers
who reach into the hearts of young people.

Inspiring Thoughts of
Swami Vivekananda on Education and Society
The education
which does not help
the common mass of people
to equip themselves
for the struggle for life,
which does not bring out
strength of character,
a spirit of philanthropy,
and the courage of a lion –
is it worth the name?
Inspiring Thoughts of
Swami Vivekananda on Education and Society
Education
is not the amount of information
that is put into your brain
and runs riot there,
undigested all your life.
We must have
life-building,
man-making,
character-making,
assimilation of ideas.
Inspiring Thoughts of
Swami Vivekananda on Education and Society

Education for moral
and democratic progress
• Education, and nothing else, can and
should assume the responsibility for
directing intellectual, moral and social
behaviour. The safety of the state
depends on the 'safe' citizen. Education
must work for creating order, stability,
and loyalty – without which no progress
can be achieved and sustained.
