Vivekananda wanted all round development of education to heart and mind, to strengthen character and national consciousness, to help in the cultivation of strength and energy, nurture the brain and intellect and stir feelings of kindness and sympathy.
According to Vivekananda, education is a process in which the young minds will receive strength, energy and vigorous character. Through this process, the individual will mould themself into a complete perfect human being of their life. All knowledge comes from the human soul. Man manifests knowledge, discovers it with himself, which is pre-existing through eternity. Education is a man making and nation making process. The prime aim of education is to achieve the full perfection already present in the child. According to Vivekananda, all the material and spiritual knowledge are already present in the individuals mind, but it is covered by certain ignorance.
