The Council Boss said that, education improves personal lives and helps in running societal activities smoothly, adding that, a well-educated person with a good certificate from a reputable institution will also earn good salary, and thus become an important personality in life.
He admonished the students to be more dedicated to their studies and achieve better results in their examinations.
