  • Abstract:
  • Swami Vivekananda’s educational philosophy presents a transformative vision that integrates intellectual rigor, character formation, and spiritual consciousness. In an era dominated by technological advancement yet plagued by moral crises and mental health challenges, his ideas offer a timely framework for reimagining education. This paper examines Vivekananda’s concept of "man-making education," its foundational principles, and its applicability in contemporary pedagogical systems. By analyzing his emphasis on self-realization, experiential learning, and service-oriented knowledge, this article argues for the adoption of a more holistic, value-based education system aligned with Vivekananda’s vision.
