Emotion is the subjective experience associated with personality, mood, temperament and disposition. The English word 'emotion' is derived from the French word emouvoir, but this is also based on the Latin word emovere, where e (variant of ex-) means 'out' and movere means 'move'. Emotion is a feeling that is private and subjective. Education for promoting relevant emotions needs to be recognized as an essential element of the educational process in the classroom since they strengthen the provided information, knowledge & wisdom and direct attention and facilitate the attainment of goals. 'Emotional Literacy' programme directly alter the level of success, self-esteem and well-being of a person. They help reverse a tide of educational decline and sustain the universal and eternal values oriented towards the unity and integration of the people, their moral and spiritual growth enabling them to realise the ‘treasure within’. Teachers do influence the personality of a student. The existing education system is a hybrid variety of conventional/ traditional, and modern/new generation type. There is a serious need for standardization. The ongoing pattern of education is linear oriented or ‘left-brain’ oriented. We seriously lack a holistic and integrated approach. The concepts of EI and SI with their enhancements are the need of the hour.
