Abstract: In the rapidly globalizing world, education systems are increasingly focused on skill development and knowledge acquisition, often neglecting the ethical and value-based dimensions of learning. This imbalance has resulted in growing concerns related to moral degradation, emotional instability, and social disintegration among learners. The present study examines the role of the Bhagavad Gita in promoting value education by bridging indigenous wisdom with global educational perspectives within the framework of Viksit Bharat. The study adopts a qualitative research approach based on secondary data sources, including classical texts, academic journals, books, and policy documents. Through thematic analysis, the study identifies key philosophical concepts such as Nishkama Karma (selfless action), Svadharma (duty), and Samatva (equanimity), and examines their relevance in contemporary education.
The findings reveal that the Bhagavad Gita provides a comprehensive framework for value education that aligns with global competencies such as emotional intelligence, ethical reasoning, resilience, and holistic development. The study concludes that integrating the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita into modern curricula can foster ethical awareness, emotional balance, and social responsibility, thereby contributing significantly to the vision of a developed and value-based society under Viksit Bharat.
