Could you tell us more about Sardar Patel Education Trust and its institutions?

Proud to tell you we have four autonomous colleges. One is B.N. Patel College of Allied Science, which is the first allied science autonomous college in all of India.

We are implementing professional courses for several professionals coming out as physiotherapists, nursing professionals, optometrists, and allied science graduates. We run arts, commerce, schools, and everything.

We create the dream of the kids with their dream for their future, to create the future of the young ones who will represent the future of India in this coming AI world, which will evolve with technology.

One thing to say—we study the past to represent our future. From the past, we have to learn and adapt our future in such a way and implement it because our students will become the future of tomorrow.

Could you elaborate more on your institution’s academic ecosystem and offerings?

First of all, we are very much thankful to ArdorComm and the management for inviting us to this mega event. We are from the Sardar Patel Education Trust. We have institutes under the trust in Gujarat, and we have four autonomous colleges in the field of arts, commerce, and science.

As far as Sardar Patel University is concerned, we have the largest number of institutes affiliated with it, and all are accredited with NAAC. We are providing various programs from UG to PhD, as well as programs in artificial intelligence and cyber security.

What is your perspective on the evolving role of technology and global developments in education?

Traditional mode of education is evolving. When ISRO is evolving, NASA wants to collaborate with ISRO. Day by day, ISRO is making steps to move forward towards space.

The one who conquers space has conquered mankind. In the future, wars—whether technology, information, energy, or cyber—will be fought from space. Everything will be directed from space.

People like Elon Musk have seen the future and are moving beyond where traditional thinking cannot reach. It is written in our ancient history that people with knowledge would travel far into space and were the leaders and creators of humankind.

In such a competitive and evolving education landscape, what keeps you motivated?

Education is worship, and worship is education. Education cannot be left behind; it always has to be forward integrated.

It is the duty of the trust or management to ensure that the system is upgraded, just like technology is upgraded. We have to evolve with technology, and certain changes are very much necessary at the state-of-the-art level.

Tutors who are developing students must also upgrade themselves and create space for new learning. The world is moving, time is endless, and we have to move forward with time.

What are your key takeaways from today’s event?

As we know the theme of today is Viksit Gujarat, Viksit Bharat, and we are in the era of artificial intelligence. We have many takeaways.

We need to implement these technologies and strategies in our regular education system. Once again, thank you very much to ArdorComm and the management for inviting us.
