Many cities of Eastern India have played a pioneering role in the development of the modern education system in India. This region has long been a hub of education and culture, a region that enriches many academic institutes of global repute, a land where Nobel laureates have their roots. It is represented by states like West Bengal, Odisha, Bihar, Jharkhand and Sikkim, and also The Seven Sisters of India referring to the north-east states of Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura. Ample resources, adequate infrastructure, research facilities, meritorious students, and excellent teachers & faculty encourage the necessity of digital investments & collaboration opportunities in this region of India.
This Knowledge forum invites academicians and educators from preschool, school, higher, technical, and skill education, as well as industry experts from edtech and startups, to share their experiences, ideas, and innovations that have facilitated the growth of the education community during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic and is shaping the future of education in this technologically evolving scenario.
