Book Series / Collection
Overview
Education for Civic Responsibility and Good Governance argues that democratic institutions depend upon citizens who are informed, ethical, participatory, and capable of critical judgement. Education must therefore prepare learners not only for examinations, employment, and technological change, but also for public responsibility, constitutional values, ethical conduct, empathy, environmental care, and active citizenship.
The book links Indian Knowledge System and value-based education with Fundamental Duties, curriculum design, teacher development, school governance, and local democratic participation. It explains how schools can become civic cultures rather than only instructional organisations, and how local governance can function as a learning laboratory. The final chapter presents a Model Framework for Civic Responsibility Education suitable for curriculum planning, teacher education, school activities, community engagement, and institutional review.
