Speaking on this occasion, Former PM HD Deva Gowda shared the importance of moral education for school and college students and said, “Education will be just a piece of paper without culture. Providing quality education, along with moral education, to students is important”.

Expressing his gratitude, Devegowda said, "My parents were not educated but my father wanted me to be educated. After completing my education, they did not want me to take up a job in railways in Gujarat. They tied me to his land and made me work for people."

"I have no formal training in river basin planning, irrigation, agriculture, and rural economy. I only had a diploma in civil engineering but decided to educate myself by reading books, newspapers, periodicals, legislative debates, and government reports seriously," the former Prime Minister added.
