Leave a Comment / / Interviews

“In the early years, I think if we align sustainability goals, in simple steps, we don’t have to have a very heavy curriculum,” says Dr. Harshita Sharma, Founder Director, Brainstorm International, Pune, in an interview with Chandan Anand, CEO & Group Editor, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness this summit? First of all, congratulations to you for a wonderful, amazing, and very insightful event. ArdorComm is doing a wonderful job connecting so many educators. I think this was a very different experience because I have never seen people from the NCERT team staying and talking, sharing their insights the way they have given the inputs. Everybody was in the room, and nobody walked out, and that shows what kind of speakers you had since morning. Amazing panel and warm hospitality. So, congratulations to you. What were the learnings and takeaways from the topics on which the discussion happened? I think you have touched on the core topics, beginning with technology being so transformative and what are the new things transforming in technology. Moving on to the foundation stage, early years, and how we can align with the sustainable goals. What we can do at the ground level, and what are all the stakeholders doing, their best practices and insights. This was just amazing. Moving forward to the K-12 schools, it’s all about how the new education policy (NEP) and National Curriculum Framework (NCF) are being implemented. The best practices shared by schools were amazing. I really liked that slogan “Issue of a tissue,” which was something very interesting. They were saying that a small spark in a child can lead the discussion to a completely new revolution of sustainability and making the planet the safest planet. What is the message for the people who are entering the preschool section and what will be the sustainability advice for them? In the early years, I think if we align sustainability goals, in simple steps, we don’t have to have a very heavy curriculum. With the new NEP, you have the first five years based on play, themes, stories, and experiential learning. If we can combine that along with the Panchakoshas (five layers of development) in a simple way, engaging the community together so that all our pillars and stakeholders are aligned, it becomes easier to implement. We also need to ensure that parents are aligned with our vision and mission. Make them the most important stakeholders who should be aligned with your vision, which is crucial. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group on its 2nd anniversary? As a human being, I think I relate to you more than anything else. The kind of passion you have for the entire organization that brings us here from all the way from Pune, and I think the event and the content, both the combination when it comes together, it becomes worth coming all the way from wherever all the educators are coming from. Congratulations to you and thank you for connecting such wonderful people. It’s not easy, and you all are doing an amazing job. Congratulations once again and keep up the good work.

Geetika Bahuguna, COO, Millennium Education, Gurugram, Emphasizes on Technology Implementation in Schools “We also provide training to teachers on using technology effectively for their own growth and enhancing the students’ experience,” says Geetika Bahuguna, COO, Millennium Education, Gurugram, in an Interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Delhi? It’s always a great learning opportunity and a chance to connect with many thought leaders. It’s been going very well since the morning. What should be the vision for the school education sector going forward? Every school has its own vision so now with technology intervention and SDGs integration, schools have to align their vision with the national mission and take it forward. How are you implementing technology in your school? We have been using technology extensively since the pandemic. Since we have chain of schools so we use platforms like Zoom and Microsoft for connecting thought leaders and students. In the classroom, we adopt a hybrid mode. We also provide training to teachers on using technology effectively for their own growth and enhancing the students’ experience. Could you explain the process of training teachers? We provide training both physically and virtually. Virtual platforms are used not only for group training but also for one-on-one mentoring and coaching. This personalized approach has been a significant advantage, especially for addressing individual doubts and clarifications. In forums like these, where the education leaders, EdTech players, and government come together, how does it benefit the education sector? Such forums are highly beneficial. I think the government sector and the policy makers when they are there you can clarify a lot of your doubts. Like today also we could find out as to what’s happening when is the new NCF coming up what would be the trajectory of the concepts like, so whatever doubts you have you are on the same page as them and you are able to plan better for your own schools. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group on its 2nd anniversary? ArdorComm Media is doing a great job in bringing together thought leaders effectively. I’ve been part of it both times, and I wish the entire team continued growth and success.

Dr. S. K. Rathor, Founder, Chairman & MD, Sanfort Group of Schools, Shares his views on Vision 2030 for Education Sector

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

“My request is that every progressive private school should handhold one budget school, one government school, or one school in a rural area to help uplift them and bring their education level up to par with children in more privileged schools,” says Dr. S. K. Rathor, Founder, Chairman & MD, Sanfort Group of Schools, in an Interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Delhi? Thank you so much for inviting me. I’d like to share that when Chandan and Ashish were planning their first event two years ago, they met me. I’ve known them for many years, and they explained their plan to start their own venture. I’m delighted to see the remarkable growth that your company have achieved in just two short years. Today’s event is much better than the first one, which was the first physical event post-COVID in the industry. I must say it’s a significant achievement, and I look forward to an even bigger event with a larger audience next year. The theme of our event is India Vision 2030. What do you think should be the vision for the school education sector? The vision for the school education sector shouldn’t be limited to any particular group or individual; it should be a vision for the entire country. Our Prime Minister has introduced the National Education Policy, which prioritizes Early Childhood Education for the first time in our education system. When it comes to private schools, many have good infrastructure and budgets for investment. However, it’s crucial to remember that a significant portion of our population attends government schools, budget schools, or schools in rural areas, and these children come from less privileged backgrounds. My request is that every progressive private school should handhold one budget school, one government school, or one school in a rural area to help uplift them and bring their education level up to par with children in more privileged schools. Only then can the National Education Policy truly become a reality on the ground. The government cannot do it all; it’s the duty of every educator and private institution to support government schools and underprivileged children. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group? ArdorComm Media is doing a fantastic job, and I believe you will experience multi-fold growth in the next couple of years. I wish you to become the premier organization for education conferences and seminars in the country.

Dr. Niyati Chitkara, Director, Chitkara International School, Highlights on the Vision for School Education Sector

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

“The vision for 2030, as outlined in the National Education Policy and the Sustainable Development Goals, can be achieved by investing in teacher and counsellor education,” says Dr. Niyati Chitkara, Director, Chitkara International School, in an Interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Delhi? I’m very excited, and I had a wonderful learning experience with great keynote speakers and an amazing fraternity. It’s a fantastic opportunity for networking, sharing best practices, and appreciating each other’s work. This conference brings the entire education community together, and it’s going to be very helpful for everyone. When people come together, meaningful things happen, and that’s what this conference aims to achieve. I’m really enjoying it. Thank you. What are your views on the theme of our event, India Vision 2030? The vision for 2030, which is just seven years away, revolves around two crucial aspects, in my opinion. First is teacher education, and second is counsellor education. If we focus on training our teachers and counsellors effectively, especially pre-service teachers who are pursuing B.Ed, we can shape a highly skilled future generation. This will not only contribute to employability but also help us harness the potential of our resources. The vision for 2030, as outlined in the National Education Policy and the Sustainable Development Goals, can be achieved by investing in teacher and counsellor education. We need well-trained and happy teachers and counsellors to ensure the well-being and happiness of all stakeholders in our schools. How are you implementing NEP in Chitkara International School? The National Education Policy (NEP) offers keywords that are futuristic and important. We’ve identified these keywords that align with our school’s vision. The NEP emphasizes the synergy between school education, higher education, and industry. When schools, universities, and industries work cohesively, we can achieve significant results. It’s essential for school leaders to thoroughly understand the NEP for school education and higher education and connect it to their schools. This alignment will drive meaningful change. In forums like this, where education leaders, EdTech players, and the government come together, how do you think they benefit the education sector? Forums like this offer open discussions and bring together stakeholders from various facets of education, including NCERT, CBSE, skilled organizations, and regulatory bodies. It’s a platform for discussions, brainstorming, and sharing meaningful ideas. Industry partners also showcase products that can enhance the education system, making life easier for teachers and school principals. This ecosystem benefits everyone involved, and I highly recommend attending such events. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group on its 2nd anniversary? Congratulations to ArdorComm Media Group! We are very proud of it and another thing is that it’s my presence here also for the second time and last year also I was here as a keynote speaker and I’ve had a wonderful time, this year too. Last year just things were becoming normal post-covid but this time you guys have nailed it. So, it’s a wonderful session and congratulations, best wishes for future.

Dr. Bhavna Chibber, Principal, Laburnum Public School, Gurugram, Emphasizes on Skill Based Learning

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

 “Skills are unique, indigenous, and the educators, who are the curators in the classroom, must know what kind of skill to develop in each learner,” says Dr. Bhavna Chibber, Principal, Laburnum Public School, Gurugram, in an Interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Award? It was an awesome experience to listen to all the dignified personalities. We have learned so many things here, and the discussions were so interesting that we thought this kind of conference should be held for our leaders. These kinds of forums are essential. I’m thankful to ArdorComm Media for providing the opportunity to educators to spread their wings, learn, and take the lead. In this new normal, adaptability and flexibility are crucial skills, and now is the time when we’re preparing our learners to thrive in this world. So, thanks to ArdorComm Media for providing this platform for leaders to share, learn, collaborate, and grow. What’s your take on skill-based learning and the multi-disciplinary approach in education? There are two different things: skill-based learning and the multi-disciplinary approach. When we talk about Saksham, we follow a 5S philosophy: Saksha, Saksham, Samarth, Shodak, and Sanskar. There’s a thin line difference between Saksham and Samarth. For example, consider car driving. I drive a car, so it’s easy for me to understand how the clutch works, how to change gears, etc. But how competent am I? That’s called Saksham. Skill development is about preparing learners for the future, not just for the near future, but for the years ahead. Skills are unique, indigenous, and the educators, who are the curators in the classroom, must know what kind of skill to develop in each learner. Regarding the interdisciplinary approach, terms like interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, and transdisciplinary have been integrated. Collaborative projects are a key strategy to enhance the interdisciplinary approach on the school campus. Any message for the ArdorComm Median on its 2nd anniversary? Keep soaring high, the sky is the limit.

Anita Gupta, Principal, Raman Munjal Vidya Mandir, Gurugram, shares her views on Implementing Technology in Education

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

 “Technology is going to stay forever, we all know that. So, no school or no education sector or nobody can be away from it,” says Anita Gupta, Principal, Raman Munjal Vidya Mandir, Gurugram, in an Interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Award? First of all, I would like to thank ArdorComm for organizing such a wonderful, enriching conference, and which is actually experiential learning. Because it’s just not we are talking about general things or theoretical things, we are having in-depth enriching sessions, talking about the practicality of whatever the concepts have been introduced through NEP or NCF and the use of technology. So, it’s the amalgamation of innovation, technology, skill, and whatever can be adapted in the school curriculum. How are you implementing technology in your school? Technology is going to stay forever, we all know that. So, no school or no education sector or nobody can be away from it. So, when it comes to my school, we are lucky enough because computer education and all, it was started almost two decades before, so we were already aware of it. But when suddenly, this pandemic had struck, so we were easy to make our teachers understand and our students also how to go about with the online classes. So, then we made it a part and parcel in the daily teaching also. Because before the pandemic, we even introduced the Smart Board concept in our classes and every classroom has got. So, they were already aware that technology is there to stay. We were already aware, students knew, parents also knew, we were teaching teachers to have the curriculum. So, in that way, we didn’t face the problems. And now also, we are able to. So, we have the technological problems, of course, because when it comes to, like, net issues are there or how to make it stop at what level, so these things are there. But otherwise, technology definitely is a great tool, not just in terms of its, physical presence, but also the soft content it has got. The only thing is we have to make our students and the whole environment understand that this is how you are going to make use of it. So, when we know how to use it, when we are enabled, then we can make use of it. And that’s what we are going, we are doing it. Not only in the subject enrichment activities, but also otherwise also. Like if I say, it’s too easy to take these students to the virtual tour of any place and to connect them off with the experiences, feeling it, so lively seeing the things like what we talk about VR, AI, and all these kinds of things, they can experience it themselves. So that’s how we are making use of it. We have embedded it in our curriculum. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group on its 2nd anniversary? Yes, first of all, hearty congratulations on your completion of two successful years, and that too bringing so many educators together under the same roof, sharing such valuable inputs. So, I wish them good luck and looking forward to many new ideas like this concept of what we are talking about, improvement from here to there. So, I want this to be continued.

Dr. Anup Kumar Rajput, Head of Publication Division at NCERT, Ministry of Education, Government of India, Emphasizes the Crucial Role of Digital Technology in Enhancing Learning

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

 “Nowadays, children have access to a plethora of learning resources, particularly digital ones. This highlights the necessity of incorporating digital technology into our school education system,” says Dr. Anup Kumar Rajput, Head of Publication Division at NCERT, Ministry of Education, Government of India, in an interview with Chandan Anand, CEO & Group Editor, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram What are the takeaways of today’s session for you? Very nice. You are doing a good job by getting all these people collected together, and they are discussing the real issues which they are either facing with the policy or with the curriculum. So, the discussion is not only for the sake of discussion, but certainly, we will find out solutions to many of our problems, which we want the system to improve itself. Obviously, such kind of gatherings are very, very important, and you are doing a good job. I am finding many people are very good in having their own experiences shared here. So, that certainly is going to give a good way to implement the National Education Policy and the National Curriculum Framework for the foundational stage. We have seen that NEP has included Early Childhood Education as a part of the main framework of school education. What are your views on that? It’s essential. The Government of India has realized that foundational education, particularly preschool education, is very, very important and this should be included in the mainstream of education. Earlier, it was not, internationally it has been done long back when they recognized that preschool education is having the same importance as school education. So, that’s why this time, it has been realized and now it is going to come into the school education system, particularly the government education system, and will improve the learning levels of children. Even learning difficulties will somewhere be reduced with this inclusion of preschool in the mainstream education system. Normally we find children who have learning problems or maybe learning deficiencies after class three or four. So, now those most probably will be reduced because it has been envisaged in the policy that there should be a strong foundation. Once the foundation of literacy and numeracy is built up then obviously learning of all other subjects will not be a bigger problem for all the children. How does e-learning and digitalization play a role in these sectors? E-Learning has to play a major role because, during my childhood, we only had two primary learning resources: books and teachers. The books back then were not very advanced, often printed with just a single color. Similarly, our teachers were not very well-equipped with teaching materials. However, now, things have changed drastically. Nowadays, children have access to a plethora of learning resources, particularly digital ones. This highlights the necessity of incorporating digital technology into our school education system. But the approach should be a blended one. There are several ways to integrate digital technology. First, teachers can teach on their own, utilizing the resources available to them. Second, collaborative teaching can take place, where multiple teachers contribute their expertise. The third approach involves teachers using technology to aid their teaching. These methods can be blended together, both inside and outside the classroom. We can even explore innovative models like the flipped classroom, which has been experimented with not only in India but also in other countries. The key is to seamlessly integrate digital technology and e-learning into the teaching and learning process. However, the role of teachers remains crucial. They need to adapt and learn how to effectively use digital tools and resources. By doing so, they can harness the benefits of digital technology to enhance the learning experience for students and improve their learning outcomes. What changes have you brought in the NCERT books to make them more interesting for students and kids? NCERT follows the National Curriculum Framework. So, CBSE has to play a major role in board classes like class 10, 11, and 12. So, before that, the National Curriculum Framework is there, on the basis of which the curriculum is framed in different subjects for different classes. And this time, the major objective behind all other things is Competency-Based Education. Now, competencies have been placed at the center, and competency means simply the combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values. When all these four things join together, then we say children are becoming competent. Our whole system was now earlier working only on knowledge, we were giving knowledge through books. Now, the skill part has been added into it, and attitude and values are required to be there. So, obviously, we need different learning material which is to be given to the children and to the teachers. So, this time, the material which is embedded with technology, that is required. For example, in the print books, you will find QR codes have been given at different places, almost at the beginning of every chapter. QR codes are obviously giving you an idea about the audios available there, videos available, they can play a video, they can play an audio, they can see an animation, and so on. So, number one is that, number two, keeping in view all sorts of learners because we have learners with different abilities. Some are visually impaired, some are physically impaired, some are hearing impaired, and so on. So, for all sorts of children, now we want that these books should be conducive to the requirements of all the children. So, that’s why the embossed books are being prepared, books with augmented reality material along with them, that’s also being prepared. Audiobooks have been prepared. NCERT has prepared audiobooks. But one issue is very important that this all is going to increase the volume of a book, the weight of a book and then children have to certainly carry these books. So, obviously one thing which this National Curriculum Framework has mentioned, NEP

Arijit Ghosh, AVP- Academics, Seth M.R. Jaipuria Schools, Emphasizes on the Vision for the Education Sector

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

 “I think the first prerogative for the schools is to comply with the national policies which have come out after a long time,” says Arijit Ghosh, AVP- Academics, Seth M.R. Jaipuria Schools, in an Interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Award in Delhi? Oh, it’s fantastic. First of all, thank you for having me here today. I think the topics which have been discussed today are very, very relevant in the present times. So, about sustainable development goals and especially its impact from early childhood, from the foundational years. We all know that the NCF is out for foundational stages of school education, so it’s very, very important. Also, the topics like the STEM education, the relevance of STEM education, the skills. So, these are very, very valid discussion points and we see the buzz happening in the room and a lot of learning being shared. The theme of our event is India Vision 2030. According to you, what should be the vision for the school education sector going ahead? So, first and foremost is the kind of compliance with the NEP and what the vision is with the NEP and the NCF documents which are now coming out. So, I think the first prerogative for the schools is to comply with the national policies which have come out after a long time. That’s one. Number two, I think it’s a very aspirational document, the National Education Policy, with all the global perspectives also into taking into account. So, I think if we focus more on bringing impact, and I would say having data into our schools is very, very important. The impact measurement. It’s not about just checking the boxes of what we are doing, but there has to be a real value add to every single action that we take. So, if we are able to monitor that, what is bringing about these changes in the lives of the students and the other stakeholders, I think that would be a great start. How are you implementing technology in your schools? In our schools, a little background, we are a 50-school chain, present in five different states primarily in UP, but we have our presence in MP, Bihar, Rajasthan, and Uttarakhand as well. We have close to 42,000 students, presence in 36 cities, tier 2 and tier 3 cities primarily. With regards to technology, yes, all our lesson plans have the TLMS which have a resemblance with the technological factors. Be it animations, be it quizzes in that format. So, that’s one. We are also very progressive in our data collection. So, a lot of focus is on collecting or capturing the right data and then processing it into valuable information. So, that helps us feed back into our own implementation and use it as a reflection as to how do we better our intervention or support system to our schools. Also, just to share that we are very much in tune with the National Education Policy. Like you know, the benchmark assessments are kind of a mandate as per NEP. So, from last year, we started doing benchmark assessments for students of grades three, five, and eight, taking competencies from PISA. So, that’s going well. That’s on a technological platform that is being conducted, and we have the analytics, student wise analytics, school-wise analytics to go with it. In this kind of forums where we bring in education leaders, EdTech players, as well as the government, how does this kind of forum benefit the education sector? I think it’s very, very good. First of all, it allows us to kind of hit the pause button from our day-to-day work. It kind of allows us to reflect also onto what we are doing. The discussions which are so valuable and so enriching, that helps us to reflect on the work which we are doing in our own context. Not every solution can be just picked up from a certain place and implemented in place B. There has to be contextualization. There has to be an understanding of the student background and other stakeholder backgrounds which are there. Obviously, a little bit of contextualization is required in every single solution. But these kinds of convocations, this kind of seminars, help us to go back to the drawing board and make those little tweaks if required. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group on its 2nd anniversary? I think keep on doing the great work which you’re doing. I think this is a fantastic platform to bring educators together and have this kind of a conference. My only one suggestion would be to keep in mind in the future sessions if we can have more closer roundtable discussions, more enriching, more deepening. I think that would add more value to what we are doing.

Aditi Goradia, Managing Director, Billimoria High School, Highlights the Benefits of Residential Schools

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

“They live with each other, so they’re making lifelong friends as well,” says Aditi Goradia, Managing Director, Billimoria High School, in an Interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit & Awards in Delhi? It’s always a pleasure to come to these things and meet all of these educators from across the country, and there’s so much learning and collaborating happening. It’s great. The theme of our event is India Vision 2030. According to you, what should be the vision for the school education sector? I think a lot more training for teachers, a lot more growth infrastructure. The framework is already in place, now its time to execute it. How are you implementing technology in your school? We don’t use textbooks, we use the learning outcomes document established by CBSE. Our teachers formulate their own curriculum. We have taught the teachers how to use AI tools for their research and to put their resources together. There’s a lot of project-based learning for the kids that requires technology. Billimoria High School is a residential school, so what importance does it play for a student to stay there and get educated? So, in today’s day and age, it’s very difficult to balance life for kids because in the cities, it’s very hectic and there’s a lot of device exposure, a lot of device addiction in a very unproductive manner. In a residential school, all of that is a little more controlled. It’s a good balance of co-curriculars and social skills. They live with each other, so they’re making lifelong friends as well. It’s a more learning conducive environment. What’s your take on skill development in this 21st century? I think that we are preparing for a world where the jobs we know will not exist, and the jobs that will exist don’t exist now. So, more than content, it’s really important to focus on concept learning. It’s important to prepare kids for a variety of skills and even the NEP says 21st-century skills like collaboration, problem-solving, financial literacy. These are the things we need to focus on with the kids. In these kinds of forums where we bring in the education leaders, the EdTech players, as well as the government. How does this kind of forum benefit the education sector? A lot of schools are doing a lot of different things because there’s so much freedom now under the NCF for each of us to figure out what we need to do for our kids. It’s really important for us to meet each other because then we learn from each other. There might be something one school is doing that we haven’t thought of, but it’s something we can adapt to, something we can borrow. And collaborations, it’s very important for our kids to see how our other kids are doing. So, there’s a lot of exchange programs and stuff that come out of these conferences. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group on its 2nd anniversary? Yes, you guys are doing an amazing job. It’s a great energetic team. We love Chandan, we love working with him. So, congratulations, may there be many, many, many more years of doing this.

Prof. (Dr.) Vikas Madhukar, Pro Vice Chancellor, Amity University, Gurgaon, Highlights on Technology Implementation in Education

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

“Our University is on the concept of a smart campus where technology is integrated deeply into all processes,” says Prof. (Dr.) Vikas Madhukar, Pro Vice Chancellor, Amity University, Gurgaon, in an Interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Delhi? I think it was a wonderful idea to host this event, especially at this point of time when we have crossed the COVID restrictions. From last more than one year, we are operating as we were operating before COVID. It’s very important now to deliberate what we have learned during COVID and how those learnings can be integrated into the new education policy. We need to work out on the theme and decide on some good practices that can benefit all. How are you implementing technology in Amity University? Amity is a technology-driven University. In fact, our University is on the concept of a smart campus where technology is integrated deeply into all processes. We have our in-house built ERP software, which takes care of all operations from admission to graduation. We’ve integrated the Learning Management System (LMS) with Amazon. Our classrooms are well-equipped with multimedia projectors, smart boards, and other technology-enabled resources. I would say that Amity is quite proactive in implementing technology and perhaps this is a reason when in 2020 the government announced lockdown we took only two days to shift from offline to online learning. In forums like this, where education leaders, EdTech players, and government representatives come together, how does it benefit the education sector? It is very important that different stakeholders should come forward on a one single platform because otherwise hardly there is any opportunity where you are having academicians, industry and people from government coming out at one place. So, I think this is a great platform for sharing the learning and the challenges which each one of us are facing and of course a platform to express our expectations from industry and governments so that the suitable action can be taken. Any message for ArdorComm Media on its 2nd Anniversary? I’ve was going through the previous events organized by ArdorComm Media, and the quality of the events, initiatives, and speakers you’ve brought to this platform is impressive. ArdorComm Media is doing a great job, and I wish you all the best.
