CHVE was established in 2011 to provide a platform to both students and faculty to engage actively with free ideas and to cultivate a culture of deliberations, discussions and independent thinking.
OBJECTIVES
The objective of the Centre for Human Values and Ethics is to inculcate proper sense of values and ethics in young professionals. Education is not just confined to imparting of information or providing the requisite skills to the students to venture out in the world but also encompasses an important aspect of character building.
Universities are spaces where free dialogue and exchange of ideas take place. In order to make the students and faculty of the university engage with ideas of high learning, it is pertinent that they should be given orientation and training for critical and independent thinking. Instilling a sense of professional ethics, with deep commitments to the cause of society and humanity has to be ingrained side by side. A socially sensitive individual with a strong sense of purpose and self-discipline is an essential pre-requisite for a nation constantly trying to strengthen its democratic traditions. Ethics and values like integrity, trusteeship, harmony, accountability, inclusiveness, commitment, responsibility, resourcefulness, belongingness, and sustainability are essential indices.
With these objectives in mind, the Centre undertakes various activities like Workshops, Symposium, Extension Lectures and Seminars. The Centre has ensured that the courses on Human Values & Ethics become an integral part of the curriculum for students at all levels in the University.
