Abstract:

Creativity is understood as a process which produces something new as well as useful. It is the process of developing original, novel and yet appropriate response to a problem. The etymological root of the word ‘creativity’is in the Latin word ‘creatus’ meaning to have grown. Creativity was also believed to be human gift, a rare quality of distinguished individuals with inborn talent. Creativity is not confined to any individual, groups of individuals, caste, colour or creed. It is universal and is not bound by the barriers of age, location or culture. Every child is creative to some extent. The amount of creativity and its dimensions vary from individual to individual.
