Welcome to the event! Could you please introduce yourself and tell us a bit about your school?
Thank you! I am Dr. Tanuja Pokhariyal, Principal of Doon International Public School in Rishikesh. It’s a CBSE-affiliated school, running from Nursery to Grade 12. We are located in the spiritual city of Rishikesh—Tapovan and Devbhoomi. Our school caters to over 1,300 students, most of whom come from middle-class backgrounds. While many parents may not be fully aware of the opportunities in education and technology, we at the school strive to expose both students and parents to the evolving educational landscape. Our teachers work very hard to bridge that gap.
How has your experience been so far at the ArdorComm Media event?
It’s truly a great opportunity for leaders like us. What’s amazing is that people from diverse backgrounds—education, technology, AI—have gathered here, and we get to interact with them and learn. I visited a few counters where they discussed AI integration into the curriculum and shared tools being used to enhance classroom learning. It’s been a pleasure being part of this platform. The presence of VCs, professors, principals—so many knowledgeable people—makes it a learning ground for all, not just the speakers. We’re not only talking about tech and AI, but also how it impacts society and how students should be guided to use these technologies ethically.
ArdorComm Media is celebrating its fourth anniversary today. Would you like to share a few words?
First of all, congratulations to ArdorComm Media on completing four successful years! You’ve organized this event wonderfully. The platform brings together the right people and organizations—it’s very well curated. Events like this give all of us, including schools, colleges, and universities, valuable exposure. Wishing you all the best for your future journey, and we definitely look forward to being part of more such events.
