Development of Human Resources: This aim implies changes in the knowledge,
skills, interests, and values of the people as a whole. In a democracy the individual is
an end in himself and the primary purpose of education should be to provide him
with the widest opportunity of developing his potentialities to the fullest, through
social reorganization and emphasis on social perspectives. Cultivation of essential
values in the people, development of dedicated and competent leadership and educated
electorate are essential towards strengthening democracy. Schools, therefore, must
aim at developing such human resources required for the defense of Indian democracy.
Democracy can succeed only if most of its members have developed mature
personalities through physical, mental, social, ethical and spiritual development. These
aims are social or national objectives which are to be achieved through education.
These are imperative towards strengthening the society.
