What is Value Education?



We live our lives in five stages –
as a Student,
as an Employee,
as a Wife or Husband,
as a Parent and
as a Citizen.

But in all these five stages many of us encounter problems as under:

•As student, many lag behind in studies, fall in to bad company, get into substance abuse and go astray.
•Those who pass with colors also struggle to get employment and remain unemployed for long
•And in employment, one struggles to shine in career, carries stress home and affect family living
•Many marriages celebrated with excitement and beauty at huge expense turn sour and end in separation
•People in families suffer from varied illnesses and remain worried – sometimes even gripped with fear
•Citizens as a whole suffer a life of pollution, scarcity, unclean environment, corruption, etc.

We do not want any of these adversities happen either to our children or to ourselves. We all want to succeed in all the five spheres of life. But that can happen only when we get trained in Life Management skills as under:


Success as Student
1. Study skills to become good in studies and pass with distinction
2. Behavioral skills to become a person of good character and innate Goodness

Success in Employment
3. Skills for getting sure employment as soon as they leave college
4. Exposure to Employer Expectations in any office and on any job
5. Management Principles – What they teach in Management Institutes
6. Values and Attitudes needed for success in Employment

Success in Marriage
7. Marriage skills to have a smart and happy marriage – A Premarital Counseling
8. Emotional and Interpersonal competence to be a Quality Life Partner
9. Skills to resolve differences and disputes with Life Partner efficiently and peacefully

Success as Parent
10. Skills to make our children intelligent and well behaved
11. Skills in Health Management in self and in family and prevent illnesses

Success as Citizen
12. Skills for Enlightened Citizenship to make this Country a better place to live for all

It is very necessary every one of us acquires the above Life Saving Skills and develop required competency for handling the challenges and complexities of life and to succeed in a value based manner.

Keeping this in view this Value Education Program has been started.

Our aim is to prepare every one to avoid sorrows and failures in life.

Our courses fortify every one with capacities necessary for achievement in different spheres of living.


Make your child a Responsible Child



Parents today are too busy with their Job and career goals. They find no time to
impart “Values” to their children. Denied of meaningful interaction with parents on “Values”, children imbibe wrong values they see in society and on the TV.

Keeping this in view, we hereby offer a Free Value Education Program for your Children.

Here we teach your child:

1. Orderliness
2. Emotional competence
3. Good Communication skills
4. Good Behavior
5. Good Study Habits
6. Proper Use of Time
7. Family Values
8. Good Habits to imbibe
9. Being Responsible
10. Right Attitudes for success

Medium of Instruction would be mix of English and Hindi as may be suitable to the child.

There is NO course fee.
But any financial support to us is welcome to meet expenses on course materials, etc.

What to do if your child is failing in studies?




No child can be accused of failing in school or college studies.
Children do not fail themselves.
They fail due to various circumstances either in family or due to his wrong associations.
It is definitely possible to make the child succeed in studies.
But, for that we need to make changes in the circumstances in which he is living.

If parents are prepared to effect these changes, the child would do very well.

But then, there is no single remedy applicable to all children
Please come and talk to us.
Together we would examine the situation and arrive the remedy suited to your child.

We work through:

Mind mapping
Checking on friend circle
Learning styles review
Improving reading habits
Study skills inventory
Improving rememberance
Motivating the child through student meditation
Writing techniques
Exam Preparation

What to do if your Teenager is worrying you?



Today is the world of a lot of TV channels and Internet. Adding fuel to the fire are a lot many Hindi films, which portray western culture. Since students belong to a vulnerable age, they conveniently / blindly imbibe this foreign culture. Moreover, this younger generation attaches more importance to the alien culture and gives superficial treatment to the human, social and moral values. That is why we often observe a huge erosion of so many aspects of our old ways of living, our dress, interaction with other people in society, particularly; parents, teachers and other elderly people. This discomforting shift in the attitude, behaviour and outlook requires transformation

Well, in the above circumstances, no child can be accused of misbehaving.
Children do not misbehave themselves.
Many children even become delinquent due to various circumstances either in family or due to his wrong associations.

It is definitely possible to make the child change his ways.
But then, there is no single remedy applicable to all children
Please come and talk to us.
Together we would examine the situation and arrive the remedy suited to your child.


We work through:

Behavior analysis
Parent counseling
Making the child understand what is good and bad through real life stories
Giving the child self awareness
Inculcating good habits in the child
Giving the child new ways to live
Motivating the child to new ways
Introducing the child to Positive Meditation

Is your child unemployed?



Jobs are available in plenty.
But then they are available only to those who prove their worth for the job
There is always a place for a person willing to do service

If your child is remaining unemployd, he must be at a loss to know what to do
And all parents are not equipped to guide the child properly to get employment

Please register your child with us

Do you have Health Problems?




We are all born to live in health

We are all created by God
And products created by God cannot go wrong
In God's design, there is nothing called illness

God's products do not depend upon Human Doctors to work well
If at all it does not work well, we are doing something wrong

Believe, you can get back your Good Health
Believe you and your family members can lead a very healthy life

Only you should know 'How'to lead a healthy life


Yes, we all have diseases in one form or another, emotional or physical.
I had also been the victim of illnesses as any other person had been.
In pain and suffering I did run around in a reactive mode like any other patient. My doctors told me that it had no cure.


I did not lose my heart
I looked around where could my remedy lie
My efforts in search of cure did not go in vain.
My search gave me not only cure but also light.

Today I am convinced that diseases are due to lack of information with us as to how to live a healthier life.
If only we acquire the knowledge as to how to deal with all of our life’s difficulties and make life a more meaningful experience, I am sure we can all live without any illness or disease.


Well, let us meet and let me share my experience and knowledge with you
I believe I can help you get back your healthy life.


If you want me to visit any of your family members who is unwell, I can do that as well.

With best wishes!!
