Introduction Values are both intrinsic, desirable in itself and instrumental, to achieve certain goals. It is the essential norm which is the measure of all other good things in life. However, this concept of value has been changing from time to time with the emergence of each new generation. In academic as well as traditional philosophy, man comes across the widely accepted concept of timeless values such as Truth (Satyam), Beauty (Sunderam) and Goodness (Sivam). Value is the cohesive element that binds everything and is involved in every event, every act of humans. So value apart from its traditional intrinsic function has to play an instrumental role. It influences our actions and consequences of these actions uphold the values in the community. School is supposed to be a model institution for inculcation of values among the students. But the students after completion of school education do not display desirable values as expected by the society. The teacher-taught relationship seems to be deteriorated.
