IILM University’s 2nd Principals’ Educational Conference, 2023 Sets the Stage for Pioneering Education Reforms

Gurugram, December 12, 2023: Delving deeper into the transformative trends in India’s education landscape, IILM University, Gurugram, successfully hosted the 2nd Principals’ Educational Conference 2023.

IILM University Principal Conference

The conference was themed around “NEP 2020 – A Transformational Road Map from School to University: Prospects & Impediments,” and witnessed the convergence of distinguished educators, policymakers, and stakeholders decoding the transformative journey envisioned by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

“Education is the foundation of our societal progress, and the 2nd Principals’ Educational Conference, 2023, aims to bring about a significant change in our educational framework. The conference brings together educators to create a unified roadmap that prioritises leadership development from early stages to higher education. Together, we aim to empower the next generation with crucial skills required for the constantly evolving world. Let our discussions ignite innovative solutions and partnerships, enhancing our transformative journey,’’ said Dr. Sujata Shahi, Vice Chancellor, IILM University Gurugram in her welcome address.

Emphasizing on ‘training the trainer’ the Pro-Chancellor of IILM University, Gurugram, Mr. P. Dwarakanath, highlighted this transformation as a journey and not an overnight feat.

”Empowering the educational journey from school to university demands a coordinated effort and such conferences unite diverse schools of thought, fostering a rich, evolving educational landscape. As education leaders, it is our responsibility to shape this transformation, foster critical thinking and creativity, ensure smooth execution, and prepare students for a dynamic future through collaborative navigation,” said Mr. P. Dwarkanath.

NEP 2020 is an ambitious initiative to transform India’s educational framework from primary to higher education. The policy adopts a comprehensive and interdisciplinary approach, focusing on the seamless transition from school to higher education. It prioritises experiential learning, foundational literacy, integration of technology in classrooms and much more for enhanced learning outcomes for children.

Highlighting the imperative of role of teachers in accomplishing the objectives of NEP 2020, Dr. Ameeta Wattal, Chairperson, DLF, QEC Innovative Schools, said, “To unlock the full potential of education, we must first understand how children learn and nurture that potential within them. Although our tools may change, the teacher remains the cornerstone of education. Investing in teachers’ training, empowering them with innovative teaching methods, and fostering their connection with students are at the core of education. In the 21st century, teachers’ impact is not only defined by textbooks but also by imagination, creativity, and empathy, and to inspire young minds, teachers will have to first challenge themselves.

During the conference, educators and policymakers engaged in insightful discussions on crucial topics. These included curriculum reforms, assessment strategies, and education research. The objective was to ensure a smooth and empowering transition for students throughout their educational journey.

‘’The NEP 2020 recognizes the potential of digitalization in transforming the education landscape. Embracing digital education can offer significant benefits, such as enabling students to learn at their own pace and bridging knowledge. However, it also comes with the challenge of managing addiction and distraction, demanding careful monitoring and guidance. Also, while Artificial Intelligence is a reality, it will require collective contemplation to harness its positive impact on education,’’ said Dr. Padma Srinivasan, Principal DPS, RK Puram.

Echoing her opinion, and underlining the significant changes that NEP 2020 brings to the Indian educational segment, Dr. Raj Nehru, Vice Chancellor, Sri Vishwakarma Skill University, Gurugram, said,’’ The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a significant transformation in the Indian educational sector, as it enables students to explore and uncover their true potential. It encourages experimentation and helps them align their interests with future careers. Furthermore, the policy will also deliver clarity to students while pursuing higher education as they will be able to recognize essential skills and knowledge required for a thriving career in their preferred field.”

The occasion witnessed several renowned academics delivering keynote addresses and extensive panel discussions with distinguished school principals. These discussions focused on sub-themes such as Holistic and Multidisciplinary Education, Assessment Reforms, Research and Innovation in Education, and Equity and Inclusion in Learning environments.

As the conference concluded at IILM University, Gurugram, a collective commitment shaped a roadmap aligned with the transformative goals envisioned by NEP 2020.

National, 12th December 2023: Sunfeast YiPPee!, a leading instant noodle and pasta brand from ITC Ltd., has unveiled a new campaign – ‘YiPPee! Better World: Create Magic’. As part of this campaign, the brand aims to educate, raise awareness, and collect, and upcycle plastic waste by turning it into park equipment like swings, jungle gyms, etc.

Playground equipment in city parks is essential for recreation, especially for children. The initiative follows a two-pronged approach for maximum impact:

Upcycling Plastic Waste: Converting plastic waste into sturdy, colourful playground equipment – from swings to jungle gyms. The intent is to give a second life to discarded plastic materials, thereby putting it to good use as well as reducing plastic in landfills.

Community Involvement: It involves conducting large-scale awareness, voting, and plastic waste collection drives, rallying the larger community to participate in the movement. The campaign will be implemented in four major metropolitan cities – Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru. Through this campaign, the brand is advocating the joy of playing in open spaces while creating a sustainable environment.

Speaking on the initiative, Kavita Chaturvedi, Chief Operating Officer, Snacks Noodles & Pasta, ITC Ltd said, “YiPPee!, at its core, has always believed in encouraging a better way of living. Given the need for plastic waste recycling in India, the goal of YiPPee! Better World: Create Magic initiative to spread awareness on plastic waste management and demonstrate better ways to utilise plastic waste for the betterment of the society.”

Last year, through the brand’s flagship school contact programme – ‘YiPPee! Better World: Trash to Treasure’, 35 lakh children collected 2,500 kg of plastic waste which were then converted into 1,000 benches and desks for schools. Likewise, under ‘Terra by YiPPee! Better World initiative, waste plastic wrappers were used to create trendy lifestyle and utility products such as bags. The brand has been able to upcycle approximately 3.1 lakh packs of YiPPee!

ITC as an organization has sustained its plastic neutrality status for the second year in a row. ‘ITC WOW – Well Being Out of Waste’, has reached out to 2.2 crore citizens in over 55 lakh households, 57 lakh school children, and 2,100 corporates since its inception. In FY 22-23, ITC collected and sustainably managed more than 60,000 MT of plastic waste, which exceeded the amount of plastic packaging utilized by ITC during the year.

AWS helps transform Thane Municipal School into a vibrant learning hub

December 12, 2023 | Thane, Maharashtra: Amazon Web Services (AWS) continues its focus to provide essential infrastructure to local communities in Thane, Maharashtra. Its latest effort is towards the renovation and beautification of the Thane Municipal School (school no. 4/60/112) as part of its AWS InCommunities program, which aims to make a positive impact to communities, especially in regions where AWS operates.

The renovated school was inaugurated on December 11, 2023, in the presence of dignitaries including Prerana Kadam, Center Head, Education Department, Thane Municipal Corporation; Sanjay Bhoir, Ex Corporator, Thane Municipal Corporation; Carly Wishart, Director, Data Center Planning and Delivery, Asia-Pacific Japan and China, AWS; and Kerry Person, Vice President, Data Centre Planning and Delivery, AWS.

The renovation effort at the Thane Municipal School includes electrical, plumbing and civil related work undertaken to improve the school infrastructure and create a comfortable, vibrant, and friendly space for the students and staff. The school also has a renovated library and new furniture, and its walls have been decorated with colourful, interactive, localized murals, to provide friendly learning spaces and resources to children.

AWS’s association with Thane Municipal School began when it introduced the AWS Think Big Spaces program there in June this year. The AWS Think Big Spaces program is focused on enabling students to cultivate an interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) disciplines. AWS InCommunities has also been running a supplementary nutrition program in this school, where students are given nutritious laddoos each day to support their general health and enable them to more actively participate in classroom education and co-curricular activities.

Prerana Kadam, Center Head, Education Department, Thane Municipal Corporation, said, “After the AWS team visited the school in June for the inauguration of the Think Big Spaces program, they proactively offered to take up the renovation of the school. We are thankful to AWS for their support in improving the school infrastructure to help create a vibrant environment that is conducive to learning. Together with the AWS Think Big Spaces program implemented earlier, the school has an excellent opportunity to maximise learning outcomes and empower the children to build a bright future.”

Through the AWS InCommunities program, AWS has already set up over 30 Think Big Spaces in India, which includes STEAM Labs, STEAM corners, and a one-of-a-kind Mobile Think Big Space on wheels. This latest initiative by AWS in Thane adds to the multiple initiatives it has already undertaken in the Mumbai Metro Region to enable access of STEAM education in fun and interactive ways, such as the launch of the AWS Think Big Spaces program in 2020, and the annual AWS Think Big Science Carnival event, which saw more than 2,300 school students from 50 Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation schools attend the finale this year, showcasing innovative projects in agriculture and food safety, health and hygiene, environment conservation, renewal energy, and disaster management.

The initiatives under the AWS InCommunities program in India are focused on holistic community development, including the environment, people, and overall wellness. The AWS InCommunities program was first implemented in India in Maharashtra’s Navi Mumbai in 2018, before being extended to Telangana’s Rangareddy district in 2020. Since then, AWS InCommunities programs have focused on the development of sustainable communities by implementing impactful programs to protect wildlife and the environment and bolster the local economy, essential education and health infrastructure, and other basic amenities.
