Hubballi :

Dream big and make bigger efforts to climb the path of success, IAS officer Selvam Mani advised students on Monday.

Interacting with a select group of 150 students from different schools in the district at a session titled ‘Invention of Dreams’ here, he said dreams are the first steps to achieving one’s aims. “However, there is a need to guide students about good and bad dreams. Teachers and parents play a key role in this.”

Deputy director of public instruction SB Kodli pointed out that a child’s personality blossoms in school. “The school is the first step to achieving goals. It is the foundation for the realization of dreams.” Psychiatrist Dr Aditya Pandurangi asked parents to keep children calm during examinations. “They should avoid pressuring children unnecessarily,” he suggested.

Students interacted with the guests on concepts of education and personality development. The event was organized by Varadashri Foundation.

National award winner and block education officer (BEO) Mohan Hanchate was felicitated. City BEO Umesh Bommakkanavar, foundation secretary Karasiddappa Shirasangi and others were present.
