Frequently Asked Questions

Mulyavardhan is a proven, research-based academic initiative for enabling schools to impart values education in a structured manner. It is aligned to the values enshrined in the Preamble to the Constitution of India and the competencies identified in the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) 2023. It is based on the latest research in the domain of Social, Emotional and Ethical Development (SEED).

Enabling children to develop values is an integral part of the aim of school education. Values education is required to ensure that children become responsible, caring and productive adults who contribute to the well-being of all. The need for values education is heightened by contemporary challenges like increased competition and the influence of social media. Values education can help children deal with these and other challenges in the present and future, in a positive way. While children do ‘catch’ values from their families and neighbourhoods, the school environment provides opportunities for inculcating and imbibing values in a planned and assessable manner.

Mulyavardhan is based on two decades of experience and the latest global research in values education. It has been adopted in thousands of schools, which have reported a range of benefits. Positive outcomes of Mulyavardhan have also been established by research studies. Mulyavardhan’s child-centered, joyful, constructivist, activity-based pedagogy is aligned to the National Curriculum Framework (2023) and curricular outcomes for language, environmental and social studies. The cooperative learning, cooperative games and classroom management strategies used in Mulyavardhan can be adopted by teachers for the teaching and learning of other subjects. These are some of the key factors to consider when choosing Mulyavardhan vis-à-vis values education books available in the market.

Till the end of 2024, Mulyavardhan was implemented in 88,000+ government and aided schools of Maharashtra, Goa and the Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli and Daman and Diu. Many private schools are also implementing Mulyavardhan.

Mulyavardhan‘s core component comprises grade-wise structured activities, to be organised in the classroom by designated teachers. Content related to the activities is provided through colourful books for students and teachers. In addition to Mulyavardhan classroom activities, schools may adopt the Mulyavardhan “whole school” approach.

Mulyavardhan activity books are available for grades 1 to 8 in Marathi, Hindi, English, and Gujarati. Books are available in Konkani for grades 1 to 4. Books for grades 1 to 8 are being developed in Urdu.

As mentioned earlier, Mulyavardhan activities are aligned to the pedagogical approach and competencies specified in the NCF 2023. Mulyavardhan activity books have been reviewed and approved by SCERT, Goa, and other experts.

For each grade/class, we recommend conduct of Mulyavardhan activities in 2-3 sessions per week (35-45 minutes per session). As the activities are aligned to curricular learning outcomes of languages and environmental/social studies, time-table allotment may be made within the time given for these subjects.

Class teachers or teachers of languages/EVS/social studies may be designated to conduct Mulyavardhan activities after they have received requisite training.

Teacher training is offered in a variety of ways:

  • ⁠Intensive workshops (2-4 days)
  • Refresher workshops (1-2 days)
  • ⁠On-site school visits for direct support

Virtual support via WhatsApp, online meetings, and an e-learning platform (coming soon)

The intensive workshops cover Mulyavardhan content, pedagogy, classroom management practices, and assessment techniques. The workshops are highly interactive and participatory. Teachers learn through activities, discussions, and practice sessions.

The long-term goal of Mulyavardhan is that children become responsible, caring, democratic citizens. In the short or immediate term, children will:

  • Demonstrate more responsible and caring behaviour
  • Develop self-awareness and self-management skills
  • Develop critical thinking, problem solving and other higher order thinking skills
  • Show marked improvement in their language and social skills
  • Perform better in school due to the above

Teachers will begin to reflect more about values in their interactions with students. They will nurture a classroom environment that encourages children to exercise self-discipline, help each other and learn better. Teachers can use Mulyavardhan’s pedagogy for the teaching and learning of scholastic subjects more effectively. Schools will see improved self-discipline among students and fewer instances of disruptive behaviour. The school environment will support joyful and deep learning. As a result of positive changes seen in students, the school’s reputation will improve

Parents and caregivers will experience more responsible and caring behaviour by children. Mulyavardhan home activities will improve relations between caregivers and children.
The Mulyavardhan activity books include assessment tools which will help teachers generate holistic progress cards for every student, as prescribed in NCF 2023.
