GIVE IMPORTANCE TO TEXT BOOK RATHER THAN FACEBOOK – FR. JOHN ROSE

Mumbai, November 23: “Teaching is the wealth, so students should give importance to text book rather than facebook. A disciplined life will make life more beautiful, and parents’ guidance is required, in order to achieve this. Discipline is the foundation stone of the future of every child. Providing financial support, with concern for the future generation is also laudable. The poor students also get education due to the encouragement of the banks”-said Rev.Fr.John Rose-the director of the Xaviour Engineering College.
