In olden days, students learnt a way of life from their teachers, not just the subject. Nowadays,
education has become a race to be run, instead of assimilation of knowledge. The worth of
learning is only measured in terms of what it gets for the student. While the society is paying
heavily for education, the returns in terms of commitment of teachers is less. We as a community
of teachers need to accept and look into this. – Dr S Nagabhushana Rao, Chief Guest

second round they were asked interesting questions like – what would you do if the

you happier – a dull student passing an exam or a bright student topping the class.
