The causes of this vicious state of life have been examined in the study through questionnaire and interview with different sections of people. As it is a topic of great interest, teachers, learners and social elites showed keen sense of interest to reflect their opinions as far as the cause and effect of this crisis are interrelated to make the discussion thought provoking and fruitful. The objective of the study is to raise awareness among the people and the practical utility of morals and values. The result of this survey has been thoroughly analyzed and effective suggestions are given for making concerted efforts for solution so that the problem may not destroy our glorious achievement for the country we have so far done right from our independence.
