In day to day life people faces so many unethical obsession in their surroundings. The reasons are multiple; some are usual and some are unusual. Ethics are nothing but the behaviour of one human being to the other which is the factor of trust building with each other. Ethics teaches us to organize different standards like reliability, obedience and sincerity amongst others; it also helps to build up a great personality of an individual which is helpful as a factor in nation building.
Person having good ethical values always makes good relation with others, makes other people happy and always stand for help to each other.
Unfortunately, now days the values of ethics are destroying due to so many factors like modernization, busy day to day life, no time for family members, more exposure to social media and electronic gazettes etc., and therefore, it is more difficult to raise a good human for parents as well as teachers. Though this is present day’s critical scenario which is not more positive towards future prospective, we must concentrate and focus on incorporating good ethical values in our children.
Definitely, the parents and their surrounding play a crucial role to build up their children’s life but the teacher’s role in the life of every person is very much imperative since a good teacher is always being the role model for every successful student.

Therefore, educational system including teachers is the most valuable assets of the student’s life. Present paper deals with the observations, discussion and suggestions on imparting ethical values among students.
Indian system of education is very vast and versatile; in an ancient period ‘Gurukul’ (ashram) system was there which nothing but the residential teaching pattern of the country then where every student was bound to certain rules of gurukulam in which they used to participate in the day to day activities like maintenance of campus, cleanliness and hygiene etc.
These activities help to build up self dependent personalities of the students to smooth run of future life.
The teachers (guru) who gave the shiksha (education) to their shishyas (students) were great Rishis and Mahrishis, they taught about Vedas, Purans etc. along with the vocational education like management, business, agriculture, arts and crafts, music, dance and military education etc. The main purpose of conventional education was to teach the ethics, manners, social work, self control, development of character and compassion to the students which were necessary for their survival. The students learnt about customs and tradition of the society. Deep knowledge were rooted among students about their, ethics, morals, limitations, honesty etc.
This ancient period of education was around 5000 B.C. ago which is considered as the prosperous period of an Indian education system. That period was continued till the time of old Indian kingdoms where great centres of education were activated like Nalanda (Bihar) and Takshshila (Now in Pakistan).
These universities are known as first residential educational places in the history of mankind where the teachers and the students lived together and researches many important innovations for human civilization. After invasion of Moughals, these centres were shredded brutally; the great libraries were destroyed and universities fired. These invaders destroyed the Indian system of education and started their own system of education. With the British rule in the country the education system of Moughals was also demised. Britishers deployed the new system of education in the country which is called Montessori system of education now days.
During British rule of Lord Macaulay enforced this new system of education keeping in the mind to develop brilliant clerks in India. These changes in Indian system of education harm the Indian society badly in terms of loss of moral values, ethics, humanity, lack of cultural knowledge etc. which throw this country behind the other countries in research, innovations and modernization. Therefore, there is an urgent need of hour to rethink and revise our education system after proper identification of lacunas in development of good human beings helpful in nation’s development.
The present paper is confined with the broader objective to identify the problems of present educational system and to find their effective solutions. Finding the ways to develop good relation between teachers and students is also another core objective of the study.
Now days in modern educational system, teachers teach skills which full-fill only today’s requirement like science and technology, future prospects etc. Somewhere in the modern education system we are living behind our ethical values.
There are so many factors affecting on students behaviour. According to Hoffman, Hutchinson and Reiss (2009) the positive social environment has been linked to enhancing students’ behaviour, educational achievement, inspiration and enthusiasm. It changes students’ attitudes and behaviours in many ways like decision taking, justice and equality, caring and discipline etc. Most of the time of students spends in schools and colleges so the environment of school and college premises affects more on students’ intellect.
In the same way, remaining time of the student’s brain use to play with social media like internet, mobile phones, T.V. etc. It not only squanders the time of an individual but also badly affects on health and mind as well. Crimes are increasing day by day only due to the more wasting of time in outing, playing with internet, mobiles etc. Their mind becomes stuck with non useful things and they promote themselves to do illicit work.
In addition to this, Newcomb and Felix-Ortiz (1992) reported that surrounding atmosphere of the community is the major factor to student behaviour.
Stage between childhood and adulthood is very critical and important for everybody’s life. Surrounding environment can easily change their mind in both positive or in a negative way. It’s totally depends on either their exposure to good and positive environment or bad and negative environment which includes their family, friends, neighbours, teachers etc.
Teachers are backbone of educational system; therefore, they play a fundamental role in student’s life. For development of ethical values amongst the students the teachers should maintain the ethical integrity with self first and followed with students. Teacher and student connection is very essential for pleasant learning. Students develop very strong bond with the teachers. Mutual respect, admiration, affection, availability are the key factors. Other than parents only the teachers are the guardians of students who shape out not only their carrier but whole life also (Nayak and Ingawale).
A good teacher should be wise, honest, and thoughtful to talk with their students, maintain clean and good habits, emotional, having pleasant personality, should control on anger, forgiveness, quite smart in handling any bad situation.
Students must have obedient, honest and maintain transparency with teachers, give respect to the teachers and develop ability to learn everything from teachers’ academic as well as ethical knowledge.
Parents at home are also a key factor for the development of a good human being. They can play an important role to teach their kids ethical values, sincerity; accountability and responsibility by involve them in households, rituals and cultural activities which enable them to make him a self dependent, successful personality. A good teacher can change the entire life of their students and can shape their future in a positive direction.
There are so many examples where teachers play a role model in their student’s life. But, without enthusiastic students we cannot imagine education system, so students must have learnt the ethical as well as moral values and apply in their day to day life. Hence, all the three factors including smart parenting, knowledge full teaching and creative learning can change the entire scenario of present education system. Teaching of ethical values and culture along with vocational trainings can revive the ancient pattern of Indian educational system. The power of knowledge sources and electronic platforms are also can play an important role to develop good human being full of morality and ethics.
