June 11, 2012

Mangalore, June 11: Pre University colleges must teach students in such a way that the conflict within their mind as to what they have to become in the future is solved in those two years itself, said Dr. Shantaram Shetty, Vice Chancellor of Nitte University.

Speaking at the formal inauguration programme of Vikas PU College, Mangalore, at Townhall in the city on Monday, Mr. Shetty said that education must not be confined to mere scoring of marks. Stating that Mangalore has now become the Boston of India with the number of educational institutions that it possesses, Mr. Shetty said that colleges must teach ethical values to students. They need to be taught how dangerous greed and corruption are, he said.

Gopal Hosur, IGP (Intelligence), in his address recalled his association with Mangalore and how the city's Expert Coaching Centre had played a role in enhancing the academic performance of his son. Appealing the parents to not be too possessive about their children, Mr. Hosur said that often it so happens that children start finding parents irritating because of the pressure being exerted on them to score good marks. Stating that about 35% of India's population comprises of children below 15 years, Mr. Hosur said that if proper education and orientation is not given to them, the same bunch of children would become a problem for the country.

Prof. Narendra L Nayak, Chairman of Expert Educational and Charitable Foundation, Mangalore, Ushaprabha N. Nayak, Secretary, Chairman of Expert Educational and Charitable Foundation, Mangalore, Krishna J Palemar, MLA, Dr Kaverappa, Former Vice Chancellor, Mangalore University, were among the dignitaries present on the occasion.
