Ranchi University (RU) has decided to include moral science lessons and classes on manners for its more than 2.5 lakh students. News says that RU has taken this decision in a bid to check growing violence and disrespectful behaviour among college students. The recent happening in Bengaluru on New Year's eve has prompted one to ask if we have missed something in our education system where there has been very little emphasis on value education.
The university has prepared a proposal to make moral science and etiquettes a part of the curriculum. “The objective behind including these lessons in the curriculum is to instill respectful behaviour and check unruliness in students. We will hopefully incorporate the fresh lessons this year after getting the chancellor’s consent,” said RU Vice Chancellor Ramesh Pandey.
