Madurai: Students should use mobile phone judiciously as it can spoil their future if misused, said K Parthasarathy, vice-chancellor of Tamil Nadu Open University.
Speaking after taking part in the Art Expo organized under Happy Schooling initiative for corporation school students at Maditssia on Monday, Parthasarathy said, “Mobile phones pose a grave threat to students and are potentially the most destructive equipment in their hands if they do not know to use it judiciously.” However, he clarified that it can be the best tool for education if students use it properly.
He also lauded the creativity of students and the way they explained their output.
Corporation commissioner S Visakan said that students should always aim to achieve big in life and should not get demotivated by their present status. Many eminent people in the society were students of government and corporation schools. HCL founder Shiv Nadar is an alumnus of a school run by the Madurai Corporation, he recalled.
“Once a goal is set, the mind will start working towards it subconsciously. In today’s world, competition is high and one has to work a lot in order to achieve success. Victory is awaiting those who run the extra mile than others and those who work towards their gold when others are sleeping,” Visakan said.A large number of students participated and displayed various items they had created from waste. The three best were selected and given prizes. Happy Schooling programme is jointly implemented by the Madurai Corporation, HCL foundation and M S Chellamuthu Trust and Research Foundation.
