The future of any country depends on the overall development of its students. Moral development is one such aspect of this development. There are many stages of human development. From all these stages childhood stage is most important, as at this stage the mind of child is fresh and raw to perceive any kind of knowledge. Holistic development of an individual is incomplete if moral values are neglected. Moral values play an important role in shaping personality of child. Moral values are things held to be right or wrong or desirable or undesirable. While morality is something described as innate in human, the scientific view is that a capacity for morality is genetically determined in us, but the sets of moral values is acquired, through example, teaching and imprinting from parents and society. Realizing the importance of moral values among elementary school students a descriptive study was conducted using moral value scale for school children by Alpana Sen. Gupta and Arun Kumar. The result was statistically analyzed using mean, SD and t-ratio. The moral value dimensions lying, dishonesty, stealing and cheating was compared and assessed for male and female students.
