Goa: Goa Governor Mridula Sinha has stressed for the moral education in the colleges to avoid broken marriages and parents being deserted during their old age.

Speaking to team TNV the Governor of Goa Mridula Sinha said that teaching value education along with the regular course of studies is the need of the hour. She also said that there will be a National Seminar in which the importance of value education and moral education will be discussed.

“Moral education is something which develops a sense of compassion and love in the society and also teaches how we should treat the people around us,” the Governor said.

She also added  “there is no rigid rule that moral education is something which should be taught only to students of the Arts stream but it could be taught to the students of the Science stream as well which will enable them to innovate and develop without affecting the environment”.

“I think that the students who are going out in the society should be made aware of certain problems existing in the society,” she said.

Emphasising the importance of maintaining the family unity, Sinha said that the people should not break their marriages over small issues as it has negative effects over the other members of the family and also the society which is directly or indirectly connected to the family.
