Project - Value Education: (Empower Child through Living Values)

Chetana Empowerment Foundation is deeply rooted in imparting the ‘Value Education’ to school going students effectively. We have been actively working to enrich students with Value Education as a national priority since 2012.

CEF is mainly trying to address the problem of diminishing values among the school’s students (adolescents) as well as in teachers; mainly resulting in increase in problems like participation in criminal activities, addictions, excessive usage of gadgets etc. While each generation of children seems to get smarter, their emotional and social skills seem to be plummeting.

Value Education is the solution for all types of the problems. Value erosion can be stopped only by molding the minds of the children and young.  In India, education today is going through stresses and strains. It is a big social challenge for the entire society. 

Hence, Chetana Empowerment Foundation has undertaken a task of Prevention, Awareness and Counseling in the domain of ‘Value Education’.
