The chief guest of the programme Sandhya Shetty, Principal, Green Park School, Hiriyadka, said, “The landscape of education is changing. Both children and parents are taught how to face future challenges together. A student should explore himself beyond the confines of the textbook.”

According to reports, parents should be fulfilling 20% of their children's demands. Each and every day should be planned to gain success. She stressed on how children should be assertive and not aggressive.

Fr Frederick Mascarenhas, parish priest of Mother of Sorrows church, Udupi blessed the gathering and spoke of how parents should help children develop good attitudes and recognize their individual capacities. “The values in society are decreasing day by day.
