It is possible to develop values of discipline and patience in students from hostels like this."

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Rekha Bannadi, HOD of Kannada, Bhandarkar's College Kundapur said, "Students who live in hostels have more knowledge about life than those who come from their homes. Hostel life teaches discipline. Education is not only to secure marks but also to develop the skills each individual has."
