Date_time field by default takes (2001-07-21 11:31:00 UTC)such time
format but i want only date, then how i remove the created_time &
updated_time.
Also how to change the format of date i want dd/mm/yyyy

Then you should use class Date.

require ‘date’
puts Date.today

You should make the distinction between internal and external
representation: internally you use a data type that properly abstracts
“dates”. For output you transform this into a suitable format.

irb(main):008:0> Date.today.strftime “%d/%m/%Y”
=> “09/04/2009”

If you internally need also time then you can use class DateTime and
apply the same formatting:

irb(main):010:0> DateTime.now.strftime “%d/%m/%Y”
=> “09/04/2009”
