2. INTRODUCTION
 Keeping in view Swami Vivekananda’s emphasis and
motivation of youth for STRENGTH & COURAGE of
lion , Swamiji’s education has been acronymed as BE
BRAVE Education.
 The acronym stands for Balanced Education through
Best Regular Application of Vivekananda’s
Eclectically balanced Education.
 Eclectic because Swamiji believed in integrated multi-
domain development of all the faculties of body, mind,
heart & soul, growth and environment. The same
philosophy of education had been explained and
recommended independently by Bapu Mahatma
Gandhi and Sri Aurobindo Ghosh.

3. MOTIVATION FOR THIS SOCIAL SERVICE
 “Education is the manifestation of perfection already
in man.
 My child, What I want is muscles of iron, and nerves
of steel, inside which dwells a mind of the same
material as that of which the thunderbolt is made.
 So long as the millions live in hunger and
ignorance, I hold every person a traitor who,
having been educated at their expense, pays
not the least heed to them.”
 ---- Swami Vivekananda

4. Descriptive Intro to Quotes of Swamiji
 Perfection refers to divine templates (existing un-
manifested i.e. lying like dormant/unexpressed DNA in
human soul) of truthfulness, purity, peace , love, non-
violence, benevolence, self-less service, all knowledge,
skills, attitudes etc. ,which may be manifested by any
body and by all human beings through learning and
practice.
 Next sentence in quote regarding muscles, nerves, mind
etc. refers to multi-domain eclecticity.
 And the last sentence regarding traitors refers to crime of
ignorance being committed by the authorities by not
assuring employment to all human beings which is their
first human right irrespective of their education.Un-
education or illiteracy is also authoritarian crime of
expending on other things before giving justice to all
needy.

5. STRANGE FACTS ABOUT CURRENT
EDUCATION
 EDUCATION WITHOUT ANY DOUBT IS AN ESTABLISHED
SEPARATE ACADEMIC SUBJECT HAVING A
DEPARTMENT OF ITS OWN, STILL THIS SUBJECT EVEN
AS EDUCATION , IS NOT BEING TAUGHT TO STUDENTS
OTHER THAN TEACHERS
 WHEN A PERSON CAN’T BECOME BIOLOGIST WITHOUT
STUDYING BIOLOGY, THEN WHY ARE WE MAKING
EDUCATED PERSONS WITHOUT TEACHING THE
SUBJECT OF EDUCATION.
 MORE CORRECTLY, THE SUBJECT SHOULD BE
RENAMED AS BALANCED EDUCATION(or RATHER “BE
BRAVE Education”).

6. ROLE OF OTHER THAN EDUCATIONAL
AGENCIES FOR BETTER EDUCATION
 Is it not strange that Hon’ble Supreme Court of India had
to tell UGC that the subject of Environment Studies is
important and must be taught to all students.
 Now, Universities/SCERTs should not wait for such
directives of courts for teaching the subject of Balanced
Education or BE BRAVE Education.
 All round self-development is possible only after learning
balanced education, therefore each University/college/
school should teach Balanced Education as an expansion
of the Environmental Studies subject, to all students of
each university(including professional degrees like B.Tech.,
M.B.B.S., Law etc), of each college and of each school.

7. VALIDLY EDUCATED PROFESSIONALS
 No doubt our professional degree course students
also need all round development , therefore, they
must also be taught BE BRAVE Education.
 Only this will enable our engineers, doctors, lawyers,
youth to get an exposure to make informed daily
decisions in all spheres of their life.
 As an educated person, entire youth will thus be able
to learn the healthy lifestyle skills to be a part of this
Vivekananda’s BE BRAVE education subject.

8. BAPU GANDHI AND SWAMI VIVEKANANDA’S
DEFINITIONS OF EDUCATION MEANS SAME
THING IN A DIFFERENT WAY
 Both these national leaders share the same view-point for
the definition of education because the definition of
education by both means identical philosophy ,though in
different words.
 SWAMI VIVEKANANDA DEFINED EDUCATION AS
“Manifestation of the perfection already present in
man”,
 WHILE GANDHIJI DEFINED IT SAYING
“Education is the drawing out the best out of Body,
Mind and Soul, both in man and the child.”This also
means perfection is already inside us all men.

9. BE BRAVE 4 ACHIEVING SDG2030
 It is high time , we make our teachers conscious
leaders in Balanced Education.
 It is only after the valid all round education of the
teachers (i.e.BE BRAVE) that the Sustainable
Development Goals aimed to be achieved by 2030,
may be made possible to be achieved in time.
 Existing teachers may be given one week’s
orientation course while future teachers be taught
this subject in their regular teacher training courses.

10. PRACTICAL HOMAGE TO VGA
 In stead of theoretical respect shown to our Great
national leaders namely, Vivekanandaji, Gandhi ji,
and Aurobindo Ghoshji, we should respect their
philosophies and recommendations, by practicing
Balanced Education in our schools by introducing it
as a new subject, like Mathematics or by including
in the subject of Environmental Science .
 BE BRAVE had been recommended by all the three
abovementioned leaders describing Vivekananda’s
Balanced Eclectic Education in slightly different
words, meaning the same multi-domain drawing
out the best out of one’s body, mind, heart & soul.

11. SEA CHANGES NEEDED
 The introduction of BE BRAVE is possible only through
a concerted effort for the change by making “BE BRAVE
Education” compulsory for all schools , colleges and
universities in the country.
 Simultaneously, some potential forensic science and law
students may start an alliance for “LAW ASSURANCE
BRIGADE/COMPANY” to challenge defaulter
monopolous autonomous agencies for non compliance to
npe, udhr and unesco resolutions.
 These steps will give justice to all students devoid of
learning the way of life and the meaning of real education
as explained by the world renouned educationists
including Mahatma Gandhiji and Sri Aurobindo Ghoshji.
