Anantha Krishnan B, CEO- Operations, Kalorex Group, Ahmedabad shared their approach at Kalorex Group of Institutions

“The issue today is with the influx of AI and other technologies, identifying the skill set needed for a generation that will see the world 15 years later” said Anantha Krishnan B, CEO- Operations, Kalorex Group, Ahmedabad  Could you please highlight some of the initiatives or significant projects of the Kalorex Group of Institutions? We, as an organization, have always been forward-looking. As a policy, we think 15 years ahead of our times. The issue today is with the influx of AI and other technologies, identifying the skill set needed for a generation that will see the world 15 years later. We are working on those lines. The initiative of the AI clone and Avtar Maya that we have created of Dr. Shroff is a step towards that same vision to get the best of skill sets to the children. The progress is ongoing. What are the steps of Kalorex Group towards sustainable education? A couple of things I’d like to mention from today’s session. The morning session on NEP was fantastic. NEP, as a document, is very detailed, but the challenge is implementation. We, as a company, have created ways to implement NEP and converted those practices into a booklet, which we distributed today. This booklet is the outcome of dedicated efforts by about 70-80 teachers across the city who brainstormed and came up with easy implementation strategies adaptable by any school. By following these practices, we can expect a better future in the next 10 years. What motivates a teacher in your institution, and how do they cope with diverse students in a classroom? A teacher must always be forward-looking and a source of information and knowledge. In the age of AI, information is readily available on screens. If a teacher teaches something in the classroom, a child can immediately verify it on a computer. The challenge is teaching students how to compete with humanoids and AI. If you compete with a robot, like in a game of chess or badminton, the robot is likely to win. We need to teach students resilience, value systems, and adaptations required to compete with AI and robots. That’s what we are working on. What are your takeaways from today’s events, and how do such forums help society at large? On paper, many policies and government initiatives come up, especially in the last 10 years with the current government. Initiatives like the AAR card program and UPI payments are examples of good governance practices that schools need to implement for the next generation. Schools play a significant role in translating these policies into practice. For example, I come from a deep south village where the river used to have water up to my neck, but now the water level is down to 1 foot. We, as humans, are responsible for this and for restoring the river. Sessions like these teach us how to implement policies at a ground level, which is crucial for the future. Your efforts in organizing such sessions are commendable. I plan to attend your upcoming sessions in Indore and Vishakapatnam. Any final thoughts or messages? Thank you for having me at this event. It was a pleasure to be here and support your initiatives. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to your future sessions. Thank you.

In India’s journey towards 2047, the symbiotic relationship between good governance, security, and inclusive welfare programs emerges as a critical pathway to address multifaceted challenges and foster societal well-being. A recent survey conducted by Primus Partners underscores the pivotal role of inclusive welfare initiatives in realizing the objectives of good governance and security, offering insights into India’s evolving landscape and aspirations. Challenges and Needs: The survey highlights that a significant portion of the population, approximately 58 percent, continues to grapple with fundamental needs such as education, shelter, healthcare, and employment. Despite past efforts, existing welfare programs face uncertainty in effectively addressing these challenges, necessitating a paradigm shift towards holistic solutions that bridge past achievements with future aspirations. Importance of Good Governance: Kautilya’s ancient wisdom resonates with contemporary notions of good governance, emphasizing the centrality of people’s happiness to the ruler’s well-being. Good governance, characterized by transparency, accountability, and participatory decision-making, serves as the bedrock for progress and security. It fosters social cohesion, economic growth, and stability, laying the groundwork for inclusive development. Inclusivity and Social Welfare: The concept of inclusivity emerges as a cornerstone of India’s progress, with 21 percent of survey respondents underscoring its significance. Inclusive policies, women empowerment, gender equality, and wealth disparity reduction are identified as critical factors contributing to social well-being. Drawing inspiration from nations like Sweden and Norway, India seeks to emulate the transformative impact of robust welfare programs on societal cohesion and security. Success Stories and Learnings: Initiatives like the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) and Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) exemplify India’s strides towards inclusive governance and poverty alleviation. By leveraging technology and innovative financing mechanisms, India aims to streamline welfare delivery, mitigate corruption, and enhance transparency. The cooperative federalism model and participative decision-making are pivotal for effective implementation and citizen-centric governance. Future Directions: As India navigates its path towards Viksit Bharat, strengthening last-mile delivery mechanisms, data privacy safeguards, and capacity-building initiatives remain imperative. The establishment of robust frameworks to combat corruption, coupled with transparent public institutions, will shape India’s inclusive growth trajectory. By fostering a culture of innovation, education, and civic engagement, India endeavors to realize the aspirations of all its citizens on the road to 2047. Inclusive welfare programs serve as catalysts for good governance and security, offering a holistic framework to address socio-economic disparities and enhance societal resilience. Through strategic investments, policy reforms, and collaborative efforts, India charts a course towards a prosperous and equitable future, anchored in the principles of inclusivity, transparency, and citizen-centric governance. With a steadfast commitment to Kautilya’s vision of the ruler’s happiness intertwined with the people’s welfare, India embarks on a transformative journey towards 2047, where inclusive welfare programs serve as the cornerstone of a vibrant and secure society. As the nation embraces the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century, the convergence of good governance, security, and inclusive welfare promises to unlock the full potential of India’s diverse and dynamic populace, paving the way for a brighter tomorrow for generations to come.
