Dr. N V Subba Reddy, Pro Vice Chancellor, CMR University, Shares Insights on Technology Implementation in Education

“We have specialized labs like the maker space, where students can study societal problems and build prototype models,” says Dr. N V Subba Reddy, Pro Vice Chancellor, CMR University, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka

How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bengaluru?

Yeah, it is good that you are organizing education leadership summits, which integrate management professionals, academicians, and education leaders in one common platform. They share their experiences and discuss the future roadmap for the development and devising ecosystems to benefit our students. This helps prepare them for becoming the next-generation leaders. In that direction, you are doing a wonderful job, and I am happy for that.

How are you implementing technology in your institution?

I am representing CMR University in Bangalore, and we focus on enhancing our students’ skills, making them well-educated professionals. We also inculcate various skills that are relevant to the industry and higher studies, preparing them to be global professionals who can tackle future challenges. We have a specialized department called the Department of Common Core Curriculum, where we offer skill-based courses, including design thinking, critical inquiry, business skills, leadership skills, programming skills, behavioural skills, and skills to connect with society. We have specialized labs like the maker space, where students can study societal problems and build prototype models. We start this process from semester one for all students, enhancing their skill sets.

Any message for ArdorComm Media Group for recently completing its two years journey?

Take it forward, because the ultimate beneficiaries should be the students, the next-generation leaders. They should gain confidence, acquire skills, and learn to solve societal problems and tackle future challenges during their campus life. Encourage collaborative work, integration with students, faculty members, and industry professionals. Establish linkages with industry professionals to keep students aware of industry trends and future prospects. Your leadership summit adds value to universities and educational organizations. Keep up the good work, and I welcome your initiatives.
