The role of today’s students is not merely to earn degrees but to learn moral virtues, good manners and discipline from their teachers and environment and indulge in social and extra-curricular activities, Minister Karam Shyam advised the gathering speaking as Chief Guest of the function.
Appreciating the work and tedious efforts of teachers in private schools who are tirelessly producing brilliant students every year inspite of their low salaries as compared with teachers in Government schools , he said that students and teachers should collaborate together in order to exploit the talents, potential and credibility of the students to the maximum extent. To build a better society, the important ingredients are: being good, ideal, positive in thoughts and outlook like dress, inculcating good teachings from others and developing friendly relations with guardian & family members, he also stressed.
On the issue of recent incidents of students taking part in non-academic political affairs by forming organisations like Socialist Students’ Organisations, he expressed shock over the irresponsible attitude of the parents and their inability to guide their children in the right direction. He reprimanded that students seems like misguided by political influence instead of focussing on their studies and academic pursuits. He said, “We are living for the future, if such things by the student organisations continue, it would prove detrimental to the society. Students should not indulge in allegations against the elected 60 leaders of the State without any proof or evidence by blindly following some negative political groups.”
He also expressed happiness over the selection of some youths of his Langthabal A/C in the recently announced Police recruitment result without any corruption.
Minister Karam Shyam donated Rs.20,000 to the S.I. school fund in order to promote the students of the school for a bright future and as a financial aid to the school management for efficient functioning.
