Kundapur, Nov 23: "Students should not concentrate solely on getting more marks. They have to learn life skills during their school days, thereby blossoming into rays of hope for creating our future society," asserted chancellor of Nitte Deemed University, Nitte Vinay Hegde.

"Day-to-day interests and hobbies, creative activities and works for which we get hands-on experience and other such things will play a major role in shaping our future. Guidance from teachers and elders, reflections of ideal personalities, and relentless hard work will help one to tread the noble path."
