‘ArdorComm – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2026’, to be held on 6th February 2026 in Guwahati, Assam

The Northeast region of India stands at a powerful inflection point in its education journey. With rising literacy rates, expanding digital infrastructure, increasing private and public investment, and a strong policy push through NEP 2020, the region is steadily transforming into a vibrant hub of learning, innovation, and talent development. Against this dynamic backdrop, ArdorComm Media Group proudly announces the ‘ArdorComm – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2026’, scheduled to take place on 6th February 2026 in Guwahati, Assam. The Theme: A Vision for Tomorrow’s Northeast “Future-Ready Northeast: Building Skills & Mindsets for a Smarter Tomorrow” captures the essence of the summit’s vision. The theme reflects the urgent need to go beyond conventional education models and focus on developing future-ready skills, adaptive mindsets, digital fluency, and ethical leadership—all essential for navigating a rapidly evolving global economy. As industries are reshaped by artificial intelligence, automation, data, and sustainability imperatives, education systems must evolve in parallel. The summit aims to explore how institutions across the Northeast can align learning outcomes with employability, entrepreneurship, and lifelong learning. Northeast India: Progress, Potential & Promise Northeast India has made significant strides in education over the past decade. High primary school enrolment, growth in private unaided schools, establishment of new universities, and improved access to digital tools have collectively enhanced educational outcomes. Government-led initiatives such as Digital India, Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abhiyan, teacher training programs, and focused skilling missions are bridging gaps in access, quality, and infrastructure. NEP 2020 provides a timely framework to further strengthen this progress by: Integrating local languages and cultural contexts into curricula Encouraging experiential, multidisciplinary, and skill-based learning Promoting entrepreneurship, innovation, and vocational education Strengthening teacher capacity and institutional autonomy Together with private sector participation and EdTech innovation, these efforts are preparing students across school, higher education, and vocational segments to meet the demands of the 21st-century workforce.

The summit is designed as a high-impact knowledge-sharing platform where academicians, educators, policymakers, HR leaders, industry experts, and EdTech innovators can exchange insights, discuss challenges, and co-create solutions for sustainable educational growth.

Prof. (Dr.) Rajendra Sinha, Vice Chancellor, Sandip University, Emphasizes on implementation of NEP 2020

“In today’s scenario practical learning is far more important than theoretical learning,” said Prof. (Dr.) Rajendra Sinha, Vice Chancellor, Sandip University in an interview at “ArdorComm New Normal- Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023” held in Pune, Maharashtra on 24th November 2023. How is Sandip University implementing the New Education Policy, and what progress has been made in the process? The implementation of the New Education Policy at Sandip University is marked by a commitment to innovative teaching and learning methodologies. The university has embraced research-based learning, personalized learning, and project-based learning to meet the contemporary need for practical education over theoretical knowledge. Recognizing the significance of practical learning in today’s scenario, the institution is actively engaging in collaborations with other countries. This international exchange program involves sharing teachers and students to facilitate the mutual learning of diverse teaching techniques. The emphasis on personalized learning is particularly noteworthy, ensuring that teachers understand the ‘what,’ ‘when,’ and ‘why’ of their instruction, while students can gauge their comprehension effectively. What was the overall takeaway from this event? The event organized by ArdorComm has proven to be a valuable platform for Sandip University, providing a conducive environment for in-depth discussions on the future of education. The creation of multiple panels and a structured setup facilitated the exchange of diverse views, suggestions, and ideas. This collaborative space allowed participants to delve into the possibilities and challenges of evolving educational paradigms, contributing to the collective growth of the academic community. Any testimony for the ArdorComm Media? Extending wishes and appreciation to the organizing committee of ArdorComm Media, I express gratitude for orchestrating such a wonderful event. The seamless organization and execution of the event not only provided an enriching experience but also created a platform for meaningful discussions and networking.

Dr. Mahesh KM, Principal, JGI, SBM Jain Evening College, Shares his Experience of Attending New Normal ELSA Bengaluru

“This platform is bringing together everything that is required for our society,” says Dr. Mahesh KM, Principal, JGI, SBM Jain Evening College, 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? This is my second experience in this particular Summit. When they started after COVID-19, there were a lot of changes and real experiences. They are addressing what the society and the present generation require when it comes to educational institutions. What teachers, education institutions, and students require – they’re bringing all these aspects together on one platform to emphasize the growth of both institutions and students. When institutions grow, they require a lot of changes. For example, LinkedIn and the Jain Group of institutions have partnered up. Our chairman has tied up with LinkedIn to offer courses as internal assessments for our students. This platform is bringing together everything that is required for our society. As you know, in forums like this, we bring in educational leaders, EdTech players, and government representatives. How does this kind of forum benefit the education sector? The education sector is going through a lot of changes. For example, in the admission process, we require automation. This platform provides insights into the software needed for the admission process. It also covers aspects related to the assessment process, such as digital courses, or any other platform that relates to admissions. This platform is vital for addressing the evolving needs of the education sector. ArdorComm Media Group has recently completed 2 years of its existence, any messages or wishes for them? I want to congratulate the entire team at ArdorComm. I’ve experienced their growth from the first anniversary to now. They are doing great work both at an international and state level. My best wishes are always with ArdorComm. Congratulations and God bless the entire team and the founder behind it.

Dr. Sami Ulla, CEO of Manipal Group of Schools, Shares Insights on the Future of Education at New Normal Leadership Summit

“We are completely technology-enabled. We have hybrid and blended teaching and learning techniques,” says Dr. Sami Ulla, CEO of Manipal Group of Schools, 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? Oh, it’s amazing. I’m attending for the first time, but it’s organized well. Beautiful atmosphere, and I think the entire industry fraternity, both from K-12 and higher education, we could get to see here. It was very thought-provoking sessions, and we get to know and learn many things from this. I’m really very grateful to ArdorComm Media for organizing this and having me here. Thank you so much. As you know, the theme of our event is “New Normal Karnataka.” What’s your take on this? See, luckily for us, Bangalore is a very IT-savvy city compared to all other cities in the country, and a large number of educational institutions have implemented technology. But again, as we had the session, the rural areas are pretty missed out for this implementation, either be the end-user devices, network, or the content. So, they are pretty left behind. I wish Karnataka, as a state, takes up this, and the country as such also. Technology is the future, and our students have to be digitally competent to face the future. How are you implementing these new age technologies in your institution? We are completely technology-enabled. We have hybrid and blended teaching and learning techniques. Much of the activities happen in the school, and the remedial part, the regular assessments, and the external engagement happen outside the campus. So, we have made sure that we use all the tools, either Google-sponsored tools or Apple or Microsoft. We have implemented the best tools of these companies. ArdorComm Media Group has recently completed two years of its existence, any message or wishes for us? Wonderful! Congratulations for coming into this space. I think it’s a win-win situation for the education industry and perhaps for the Media as such. I congratulate and wish you all the luck and keep having such programs where educationists can come and learn many things from these kinds of events. Thanks for organizing this.
