Purushartha and Householder
Model: A Solution for Ethical Dilemmas of Business Managers.
Sandeep Singh
Abstract:
Business managers face different types of ethical dilemmas
that basically arises out from the duality of matter and
spirit. Matter forces the managers to pursue materialistic
actions and spirit makes them realize that there is something
more to human life than the materialistic things. This paper
is an attempt to provide the solution through the ancient
Indian concept of Purushartha and householder for the ethical
dilemmas of business managers which is basically the result
of improper understanding of both matter and spirit. These
concepts show that far from needing to withdraw from the
material world, the world of business can be part of a spiritual
path and can lead to enlightenment.

Campus Design Model of Indian Management
H.M.Jha “Bidyarthi”, P.V.Bokad & Swami Tanmayananda
Abstract:
The present paper is a descriptive study of value-oriented
programmes in a technical institution, its participation,
its penetration in the respondents' value system, and its
role in value orientation and character building with which
the prospective engineering and management executives of this
institution enter the real world life. A shrewd change in
the value orientation is noticed categorically among the members
of this institution due to, apparently, incessantly carrying
out of a host of value oriented programmes here. This has
thus evolved into a campus design model of institution building.

Values in Education: A Management Education
Perspective
Usha Tripathi & Amarendra P.Singh
Abstract:
At a time when India is seeking to bring about a significant
shift in the system of education, there is a need to remind
ourselves of the necessity and importance of a value-based
education. The prevailing scheme of education is deficient
on many counts. Some important deficiencies are: it caters
largely to need of materials development ignoring the requirement
of equally important- moral, spiritual, emotional and aesthetic
aspects of life. It relies mostly on instruction by lecturers.
Its examination system encourages notes and develops only
memory rather than judgment and discrimination. Value is
a wide concept and relates to different spheres of life.
Teacher’s role is important in value education. But
his traditional role will not be sufficient in this regard.
He has to inspire and encourage the student in a way that
he himself tries to understand and absorb the different
values he needs. He has to present himself as a true role
model to the students and society.

The Foundations of Indian Currency System
and the Institutions of an
Imperialist System of Exploitation
Amit Kr. Giri
Abstract:
Until the coming of the British in India, the Indian economy
lacked a unified currency standard. The country was divided
into smaller kingdoms and territories and each territory
had their own currency standard of different fineness. Multiplicity
of coins in circulation posed a serious problem for the
East India Company to further their imperialist interest
in India. This article highlights the important developments
which occurred in unification of different standards of
currencies in vogue in different provinces of the then India.
The next subsequent sections deal with the introduction
of monometallic silver standards in India and integration
of the economy of India with the rest of the world. The
severe depreciation of silver led to the erosion in value
of India’s currency in the nineteenth century and
the whole world gained at the cost of India. Finally, the
paper describes the plunder and exploitation of India’s
resources even after the introduction of gold standard in
India and the pauperized and amputated India’s economy
on the eve of India’s independence.

Perception of Values: A Study of Future
Professionals
Rohit Singh, Usha Tripathi & Ajay K. Yadav
Abstract:
The person or an individual not only lives in a world of
values but also is able to create values from a personal
perspective through constant learning or acquisition from
others. In fact, a person not only has the ability to perceive
values as the basis of interactions among people as members
of a group, society, or culture but also is able to contribute
to the world of values from an original point of view. Values
have been defined narrowly in terms of object attractiveness
and broadly as abstract principles guiding social life.
They are principles for action encompassing abstract goals
in life and modes of conduct that an individual prefers
across different situations. Certain variables are valued
because they are fundamental characteristics or needs to
make a better society and facilitate to differentiate between
desirable and desired, delectable and electable, short term
and long term, and pleasant and good. Values develop in
early years. The lifelong behavioural pattern, attitude
and perception of individuals are guided and directed by
these values. They are most often reinforced by society,
since sources of values are national culture, family, teachers,
friends and other environmental factors. This article is
an attempt to understand the perception of students, who
happen to be future professionals, about existing values
and the values they think ought to be present in society.
