    M. K. Gandhi on education: a philosophical perspective
    (University of North Bengal, 2024-03) Debbarma, Bhupesh
    The present world engulfed with greed and materialistic attitude is to some extend seemingly devoid of value oriented educational attitude. This era is of scientific advancement and technology, Information and communication technology, Artificial intelligence and machine learning. And human beings at least at the core of his mind cannot deny the fact that in some ways we have suppressed or underestimated the significance of cultivating ethical virtues. It is of immense necessity to revisit Gandhian concept of education from philosophical perspective whereby moral education could play a significant role in shaping a world of peace. Recognition of inherent capacities in the self is also an important and integral part of Gandhian educational thought. In an attempt to understand true meaning of education certain quest aroused in my mind, such as, Does education stands as a means for livelihood? Does education is to achieve an academic recognition? What is the highest end of education? With some of these query in my mind I ventured to explore Gandhiji’s idea on education. Thus, in this paper my sincere attempt would be to assess true meaning of education for a harmonious co-existence of all beings.
