1. The document discusses the need for value-based education and social responsibility at the ABV-Indian Institute of Information Technology & Management. It argues that students need to be sensitized to social responsibility from an early stage. 2. It advocates adopting Gandhi's concept of trusteeship, where members of society act as trustees of wealth created by collective efforts. A shift is needed from consumerism to conservation. 3. Value-based education should incorporate trusteeship perspectives, a holistic and community-based approach, and teach socially responsible education through mutual interaction and inter-communion. This will help develop balanced, socially conscious individuals and benefit society.

me everything I needed.”
–Swami Vivekananda

 Absence of motivating eco-system
 Onslaught of technology ! (especially IT !!)

a focus on “LIFE”

7. Motivation ..1..
 Gandhiji’s trusteeship concept- Every member of the society is the
trustee of the wealth generated out of the collective efforts of all.
 Trusteeship will result into non-violent and non-exploitative socio-
economic relations and development models based on production
systems centred around the preservation of nature.
His sustainable development is based on a holistic paradigm which lays
stress on all round development of individual and society in relation with
nature.
 This thinking was based upon the ethical vision in which the individual is
at a central position. If inward change is achieved, outward change
takes care of itself.
 A judicial shift from the Consumer Society to the Conserver Society is
required.
