According to National Education Policy, 1986, which of the following will be…

Answer: Violence / हिंसा Explanation: The National Education Policy, 1986 emphasizes values education to inculcate social and moral values such as tolerance, mutual respect, empathy, and non-violent conflict resolution. These qualities directly help reduce violent behaviour and communal tensions, so values education contributes to the eradication of violence. How values education reduces violence: it fosters empathy, respect for others, and skills for peaceful conflict resolution, which lower incidents of aggression and communal strife.

Why the other items are not correct: eradicating poverty and illiteracy requires structural economic and educational interventions (resources, policies, literacy programs, access to schooling), and eliminating or changing faith traditions is not the aim of values education, which instead promotes tolerance and understanding.

Therefore, values education as described in NEP 1986 is intended to help eradicate violence by building moral and social attitudes that discourage violent conduct.
