摘要：Today’s age is the age of unprecedented levels of violence, with constant threats posed by intolerance, fanaticism, dispute and discordance. Today children are absorbing the spirit of violence in the atmosphere and our next generation is becoming perpetuators of violence. Therefore, the need of hour is to nurture peace in the hearts of children. It is our endeavour to educate our children about peace from very beginning so that when they grow up, they work towards peace and harmony. The emphasis on education for peace is based on the fact that education and peace are inseparable aspects of civilization. The present study has taken 200 students (100 male and 100 female) as sample from class 11th and 12th of 10 Senior secondary schools of rural and urban areas of Saharanpur district of U.P. A self made questionnaire was used by the investigator to collect the data which includes 30 statements related with the objectives of the study. Mean, Standard deviation and t-test were used to analyse the data. Results showed that male as well as and female students admit the importance of education for creating peace and social harmony. A significant difference was found in the opinions of urban and rural students regarding the role of education in creating peace and harmony in society.
