The Role of Educators in Propagating Bharatiya Values through Social Media
Abstract: This article examines how Indian educators extend value-based education into digital spaces by integrating the principles of dharma, seva, and satya within their social media presence. Drawing on the framework of the National Education Policy 2020, along with scholarly literature and contemporary examples, it analyzes the role of teachers as ethical role models in online environments that increasingly shape young people?s attitudes and identities. The discussion situates traditional Bharatiya values within current educational practice, highlighting how platforms such as Twitter, X, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, and LinkedIn are used for storytelling, community engagement, and the demonstration of service and integrity. Through selected real-life cases and digital initiatives, the article shows how educators translate abstract moral ideals into visible, everyday practices while navigating the risks of misinformation and superficial engagement. The analysis underscores the importance of authenticity, digital literacy, and institutional support in ensuring that social media functions not merely as a communication tool but as an extension of holistic education grounded in India?s ethical heritage.
