 He went on to say the Right to Education Act should also uphold the concept of ‘right education.’ He lamented that the modern education is ruining the intellectual power of the children.

On Ebola, Prof B M Hegde said that the disease has cure in the ancient Indian medicine. The immune system can be strengthened by drinking water stored in the silver pot. He censured that western science lacks strong foundation unlike Indian science.

Indian science has its base strongly rooted with the reasonable explanation. Indians are always dishonoured in terms of the scientific temper.  Adamaru mutt seer Sri Vishwapriyatheertha Swamiji delivered the spiritual blessings on the occasion.
