Director of National Institute of Technology, Chümoukedima, Dr S Venugopal told the student community to build their character through education adding, “knowledge is power but education is character.”

Speaking as the special guest during the 34th annual day programme of MGM Higher Secondary School, Dimapur on November 1, Dr Venugopal said that education gives opportunity to build one’s character and acquire relationships. He also advised them to build friendships even as they pursue education.
