Udupi, 02 May 2013: Mother is the head of our family, whose motherly qualities can ably manage the family. One just cannot forget his/her mother who is the personification of generosity. She plays key role in transforming the family, said Nitte University chancellor N Vinay Hegde.
Vinay Hegde was speaking during one-hundred-fiftieth birth anniversary of Varvady Radhamma Heggadti, visionary of social and educational reform of Shirva, during a function held at Nyarma Hosamane stage, Shirva, near here on Wednesday May 1.
