The universities  and other educational institutions are  temples of leanings. They could flourish when  the  teachers would impart education what is needed for the society in view of the current scenario, inquisitive minds of students and positive  support from the local administration and elected representatives, observed former Chairman of University Grants Commission (UGC)  Prof Ved Prakash while addressing a gathering at the FM University here on Wednesday on  the occasion of its 10th convocation.
