He suggested educational institutions to take up the responsibility to expose children to the various problems faced by society. Apart from reading textbooks, he urged students to think about the responsibilities they can take to improve the society.
Prof Halemane said that personality development is also an important facet that needs to be promoted among students. He said that new opportunities are opening up in several fields for talented students.
