Direction: For questions 1-8, read the following passage below and answer the question.
Swami Vivekananda had said, "So long as the millions live in hunger and ignorance, I hold everyone
traitor, who have been educated at their expense, pays not the least heed to them".This issue has
become relevant in the recent fall from grace of the American capitalist image.The Enron,
World.Com and Xerox exposures have revealed the ugly side of the Western style capitalism under
which, in the quest for short-term gains, wrong doings are overlooked. As a result people have lost
faith in corporate performance and those involved in it.
Further many of those involved in these scandals were highly educated. In India too, we have had
our share of such, scams in the stock market and the actors involved in them were educated men.
Earning of profits is, no doubt, the main aim of any business. But if they are earned with principles
they enrich people's lives. As the Jagadguru Sankaracharya says, " All for each and each for all"
should be the motto of enlightened men.
JRD Tata used to say "While profit motive, no doubt, provides the main spark for any economic
activity any enterprise which is not motivated by consideration of urgent service to the community,
becomes obsolete soon and cannot fulfill its real role in modern society".
When we talk of investing in education, a question arises as to what kind of education needs to be
given to the youngsters. Our aim is to evolve not only an affluent society but an egalitarian, just,
humane and compassionate society. For what we need people who possess not only high skills but
high values as well.
So the need of the hour is not only skill based education but also value inspired and value based
education. We can find answer to present sickness in contemporary civilization in the Indian
philosophy.
