Vice president M Venkaiah Naidu said teachers play a key role in transforming the society and they can never be replaced by anything, including Google.
“No doubt Google is important, but it can never replace the place of guru (teachers) in the life of students,” Naidu said addressing a congregation of graduate, post-graduate and doctorate degree recipients at the 13th Convocation Ceremony of KIIT University in Bhubaneswar.
“Hence the students should be grateful to their gurus and at the same time work to serve mother, mother tongue, and motherland.”
“There is nothing wrong in learning English, Hindi or French, (but) students should also be proficient in their mother tongue which comes from the heart and helps one to express his feeling better,” said the vice president.
