The conference will help to gain knowledge about intellectual property rights, entrepreneurship and leadership skills. Leader is the one who leads the path. We expect leadership to start from home which is bound by love. Leader will inspire the team members by leading from the front.”

While in politics, the representative leads to serve the people of the society. Leaders inspire people to work together in order to attain common objective. Leader is a person who carries others along with him. Leadership is very essential and necessary as people look up to you and you need to satisfy expectations of others by your leadership qualities.” bishop added.
Secretary of catholic board of education, Mangaluru Fr Anthony Serrao said, "God has gifted everyone with one or the other talents. Talents differ.
