Meaning
To encourage and uphold principles of right conduct and morality.
Cultural Background
In India, 'Value Education' (Naitik Shiksha) is a mandatory subject in many schools, focusing specifically on this phrase. With the rise of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), Indian firms use this phrase to show they care about more than just profit. Classic Bollywood often features a 'moral hero' who fights to promote these values against a corrupt system. The concept of 'Joint Families' was traditionally seen as the best way to promote moral values through elders.
