Governor Mangubhai Patel has expressed concern over the decline in moral values in the society. In the context of the incident in which a teenager killed his mother, he said that every new technology and research has positive and negative effects. It is the responsibility of the family and the school to guide the children towards positivity in life. We must provide protective shield of Indian culture and moral values to children against negativity.
He said that for a healthy body, it is necessary for all the organs to be healthy. Similarly, development of all classes and communities is necessary for a healthy society. It is necessary that the able and capable sections of the society take the responsibility of development of the underprivileged and cooperate with them.
Governor Patel, was addressing the 5th Foundation Day programme of IES Public School Sehore in the school auditorium. He said that children are soft like flowers and their hearts are soft like clay. The values instilled by parents and teachers have the greatest effect on a child’s heart and mind. How the child will grow up determines the family and school environment.
He further said he expected parents to use polite language and good behaviour in front of children. They must not argue or fight in front of children even if there is a difference of opinion or estrangement between husband and wife. By sending children to school, it is not proper to assume that the responsibility of the development of the children lies with the teachers only. Parents should also cooperate with the children in studies and examination management. Do not put pressure on your kids for exams. Regular studies are necessary for success in the examination. For this, after coming from school, motivate them to study while making arrangements for play and food, as well as repeating what was taught in school and studying the subjects to be taught the next day.
Governor Patel gave prizes to the meritorious students, winners of various competitions, university students and teachers. He distributed fruits to the children of Anganwadi, reading material to the students of primary school. Governor Patel was welcomed by young children. The Governor was honoured and presented with a memento, shawl, Shrifal and a bunch of flowers on behalf of the school.
