DHARWAD: Education plays a key role in the development of a person, society and country, so efforts must be made to ensure that nobody is deprived of education, said Hubballi-Dharwad police commissioner Labhuram.
At the Founders’ Day programme organised by Karnataka Education Board at KEB High School, he said people should be aware of sacrifice and dedication of the founders of educational institutions which have provided quality education for a century and strive to maintain high standards set by them.

The management should think of introducing new courses keeping in view changes in technology and science.”
The top cop felicitated teachers and non-teaching staff who have made special achievements during the academic year.
