ABSTRACT Education plays a prominent role in all around development of individual as well as society. Our system of education gives us formal knowledge of various types of subjects but does not teach us what morality is and how to bring the characteristics related to it in our mindset. Our schools, colleges and universities are churning out millions of young graduates every year who experts in some field of science, humanities, commerce, or technology. Moral education is very much necessary to uplift career of modern society. Recent reports of media show that increased violent juvenile crime, teen pregnancy ,suicide have happened causing moral crisis in the society .Moral education will enable the victimize one’s to go on the right path forgetting all acts which are not at all desirable to them. We cannot deny morality. Be a man means be a moral man. Morals or Morality broadly speaking implies honesty of characters, fairness in attitude and absence of evils like jealousy, hatred and greed from actions. It is the duty of both teachers and parents to give awareness of morality from childhood. Moral values are extremely important for building a society which is free from the evils of violence, greed, hatred, avarice and jealousy. However, high economic growth do we achieve, whatever high amount of wealth do we accumulate, our society will be afflicted by corruption, inequality and poverty if moral education is ignored. This paper is made for highlighting the importance of moral education for decadence of society.
