Institutions should focus on encouraging character building, promoting skills and abilities of the students and inculcate moral values in them, apart from imparting education, K. Rosaiah, Governor of Tamil Nadu, said on Monday.
He was addressing the inauguration of Linga Global School and Bipin Chandra Pal Library Building of Kalasalingam University on the university premises in Krishnankoil.
“The third dimension of education apart from teaching and research is cultivating a social responsibility among students. Education imparted to students must equip them to face the challenges in the real world and compete globally,” Mr. Rosaiah said.
