Joyanto Mukherjee, Founder CEO, Tutored And Trained, speaks on bridging the student-teacher chasm in the virtual world
We are cool teachers. We have our certificates proving we are good educators. But even in today’s time, we are losing kids to a world which somewhere is not explanatory to us. Let’s not run away… because it’s about to get worse.

Joyanto Mukherjee, Founder CEO, Tutored And Trained, and youngest dean at 25, on bridging the student-teacher chasm in the virtual world
Rude awakening
The distance between teachers and students is increasing in a very different way, not in the classroom but in the virtual space. How many of us have heard of this unfortunate phenomenon known as Saraha? Some of us have downloaded it, it’s a good ego boost for us, for kids to tell us, ‘Oh Ma’am you are so good… You teach so well in class…’ We tell our friends how amazing it is. But there’s another side to it. And that’s the side that I want to talk about, because I thought that being a young educator would make me a cool educator. I have trophies from my students in my classes, in my colleges, calling me the Coolest Dean, the Best Friend Ever. And on March 27 this year, you would have heard a very tragic story of a kid committing suicide on Facebook Live. He was my student.
We always feel that we are connected to our students, we always feel that there are some things we are doing well for our students. But as professors, as teachers, how many times do we actually look at their virtual life; the real life which they are leading? They have a different world of their own. I remember this particular student of mine had called me up on March 17, to wish me for my birthday. We spoke. I asked him how he was doing; he had been off the radar for four months. He said, ‘Sir, I’m just sorting things out, don’t worry. And things will be perfect in some time’. March 27, we know what happened.
Social media – their life
As teachers, as professionals, we are on social media but how many times are we reading students’ timelines? Do we see their status messages on G-Talk, on Twitter? Are we making a concerted effort to understand that part of it? And unfortunately Saraha happened in between. Students are getting pressurised today to be on Saraha, because they want that single compliment from an anonymous space. And on top of that the student says, ‘Thank you for the compliment. Can I know who this is?’ This is where the students are today. They are trying to connect in the virtual world, still wanting that love, and we are overlooking this. Can you jot down the last five things that your students put up on Facebook? Do you remember any of their status messages, their check-ins? It’s difficult, right? This is the only connect that we have with our students today. We look for counselling in school, have we ever sat with them to understand why they were socially inactive for the past 21 days? A kid who generally tweets 20 times a day, who constantly posts Facebook updates – by the way, 18-21 year-olds hate Facebook now because their parents are on it. So they have now shifted to Snapchat and Instagram – how many of us are looking at that? As knowledge-givers, we think that social media is distraction. For children, this is their life.
I know students who crib, ‘I put up a profile picture last week, why didn’t you like it?’ And there are fights over that! ‘Where were you last night? You told me you were at home but I saw you check in at a club with others’. As educators, I definitely feel that when this incident happened with me, I had let someone down. I thought I was it, because I tweet at least 50 times a day, I’m on all the social media spaces – except Saraha. If that day I had just switched on his live feed… I could have rushed there; my office is just 20 minutes away from his place. From that time on I’ve taken to platforms to speak to principals, to educators about the need for us to accept students’ social media life. Why are we dismissive of it?
Giving back
It is not the same as when we were in school or college. I was in college between 2003-2006; we were the original ‘Orkutyas’ if you remember Orkut at that time. At that time I could understand my teacher saying, ‘What is this?’ I could understand the deliberate attempt by them not to come on social media. Today it has become so important for us to be a part of our students’ social media life because that is where the connect is needed. Students tag us in photos, in statuses, on Teacher’s Day, thanking us and so on. We are so proud of it. Let’s give it back. Because this is the only breadcrumb trail we have to see where our student is going. Social media is what they use to communicate so many things, so many times.
Have you seen your students’ Snapchat trails? That’s investigative journalism. You see, via their trails, that they live a life. I happened to ask a student, why Snapchat? He said, ’24 hours mein sab kuch chala gaya. And my parent doesn’t know how to run Snapchat.’ This is escapism for them. And this is a dangerous time. Like Zuckerberg said, it would be hours being spent and not minutes. These are not times when students switch their phones off. Thanks to Mr. Ambani, everything is free today, and you are virtually walking in 4G.
It is scary for educators but the fact is we can’t shake this off; it’s high time we shook hands with it. Because when we talk about counselling, what are we talking about? Students don’t want to walk up to a counsellor. But, believe me, at 2 am, because they know that you are accessible on Whatsapp, someone pings me, ‘Sir are you awake?’ And I happen to say yes. Two and a half hours we ended up chatting. Will a counsellor be available at 2 in the morning, for someone to just open up?
Be an active player
The student-teacher relationship is going a very different way and the more we run away from it, the more the distance we are creating. It’s no longer a 10 am-6 pm for a student and a teacher today. They want access to you at 9 o’clock at night, just to clear a doubt – ‘Ma’am, tomorrow there is a test. Can we solve this, I have this doubt…’ When we were young, we were scared of our teachers because at that time tech wasn’t there to support us. I couldn’t pick up the landline and call my Maths teacher at 10 at night. We wouldn’t dare do that. But today things have changed. Why are we not adapting? Why can’t we have 24×7 counselling lines in schools only online? We have these active school and college Whatsapp groups; unfortunately they happen to be active only for two things – ‘Kal lecture hai?’ and ‘Main nahin aa raha hoon’. Or then the teacher says she isn’t taking the lecture. Can we utilise these groups better? Everyday there is someone in our circle, on our timeline, trying to express to you or to the world that things are not fine in his life. We can’t expect the 19-year-old friend to pick up that clue. The onus is on us, because the parents are generally out of the picture, wondering why their kids are always online. They call it the thumb game – I call it the thumb life.
I really encourage all educators to take social media more seriously. We need to understand it. And to understand it, we need to be an active player on it. We can’t have someone else running our own Whatsapp or Facebook accounts. Because all that student of yours wants is that when he tags you, you say thanks and, believe me, the best gift you can give in return is when you tag him or her and say, ‘Proud to be with you…Proud to have you as a kid’.
We are cool teachers. We have our certificates proving we are good educators. But even in today’s time, we are losing kids to a world which somewhere is not explanatory to us. Let’s not run away… because it’s about to get worse.

September 22, 2023
GD Goenka University is excited to introduce the inaugural Gayatri Devi Goenka Memorial Shooting Championship, a remarkable event that underscores the university’s unwavering commitment to nurturing sports excellence and paying tribute to the exceptional sharpshooters from all corners of India. Set to be held from September 26 to September 29, 2023, at the GD Goenka Shooting Range featuring 25 professional lanes, this championship is poised to become one of the nation’s most prestigious shooting competitions and will be conducted using Electronic Scoring Target System (EST).
This championship serves as a testament to promoting sportsmanship and fostering the talents of both emerging and seasoned shooters. With participation from over 500 competitors hailing from across India, the event promises to be a grand spectacle, celebrating the passion and precision of shooters who have honed their craft to perfection.
Notably, this championship holds particular significance as it pays homage to Abhinav Bindra, India’s first individual Olympic gold medalist. The GD Goenka Shooting Range, dedicated in his honor in 2022, stands as a guiding light for aspiring shooters, offering world-class facilities and expert guidance to nurture their talents.
During the inauguration, Abhinav Bindra expressed his thoughts, stating, “I extend my heartfelt congratulations to GD Goenka for the remarkable facilities they have established and the emphasis they place on sports across their educational institutions. I am confident that the students will achieve remarkable success in various tournaments, but more importantly, they will imbibe the values that sports instill in us.”
Nipun Goenka, Managing Director of GD Goenka Group, aptly remarked, “The Gayatri Devi Goenka Memorial Shooting Championship transcends mere competition; it’s a celebration of the essence of sportsmanship, camaraderie, and unwavering dedication. We take immense pride in providing a platform for India’s talented marksmen and markswomen to shine, and we firmly believe that this championship will serve as an inspiration to a new generation of shooting enthusiasts.”

Pondicherry Government to Cover Tuition Fees for Govt School Students Pursuing Medical Studies

September 22, 2023
Pondicherry – In a significant move to promote higher education among students from government schools, the Pondicherry Chief Minister, N Rangasamy, announced on Thursday that the territorial administration would fully cover the tuition fees for students hailing from government-run schools who secure admission into undergraduate medical programs in the Union Territory for the ongoing academic year.
The Chief Minister made this announcement during a press briefing held in Pondicherry, emphasizing that the scheme is exclusively available to students who have successfully completed their school education in government institutions and have cleared the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET).
Under this initiative, students from government schools will be granted admission under a 10 percent horizontal reservation quota in undergraduate medical courses within the Union Territory. The government is actively coordinating with colleges to ensure that students admitted under this scheme are not burdened with tuition fees, as these costs will be borne entirely by the administration.
The process of selecting students for professional courses in Pondicherry is conducted by the Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC). Notably, earlier this month, the Central Government approved the proposal put forth by the Pondicherry administration to implement this reservation quota.
In response to the development, A Anbalagan, the convenor of the AIADMK in Pondicherry, expressed his party’s appreciation for the introduction of this 10 percent reservation for students from government schools pursuing medical education. He mentioned that the AIADMK had been advocating for this initiative, and he thanked Chief Minister N Rangasamy for making it a reality.
This move is expected to not only encourage students from government schools to pursue medical studies but also reduce the financial burden on their families, making quality education more accessible to all.

September 22, 2023
The University of Wollongong (UOW) Australia, in collaboration with the NSE Academy launched their new book titled “Introduction to Corporate Finance (sixth edition)” at the National Stock Exchange (NSE) in Mumbai. The book, authored by first year lecturers at UOW campuses in Hong Kong and Dubai, is poised to become a seminal work in understanding the complexities and nuances of the corporate finance landscape.
The book was launched by MD & CEO, NSE Ashishkumar Chauhan, UOW’s Vice-Chancellor and President Professor Patricia M. Davidson, Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor Alex Frino, and Global Brand Ambassador Adam Gilchrist. The book includes a chapter which details how shares are traded on the National Stock Exchange.
The book launch took place on the heels of UOW unveiling its India identity at GIFT City, Gujarat, on September 18 (Monday). The University is on track to being one of the first foreign universities to have a teaching base in India, and to hand out Australian degrees to Indian students.
The event at NSE featured a discussion by Chauhan and Frino on the intriguing subject of the ‘Future of Equities Markets in India’. The highly anticipated talk provided a comprehensive overview of the evolving trends, the formidable challenges, and the abundant opportunities that shape India’s dynamic equities markets landscape.
“India has made significant strides in maintaining a regulatory environment that is investor-friendly, a key factor in attracting more foreign investment into our vibrant markets. The ongoing reforms and initiatives, including the establishment of the GIFT City as a financial hub and IFSCA (GIFT City regulator), exemplify our commitment to nurturing global partnerships and welcoming foreign institutions, such as the University of Wollongong, to have a physical presence in India. It is an exciting time for India, and we are dedicated to embracing innovation, facilitating market integration with the global arena, and ensuring a prosperous future for both our domestic and international stakeholders,” said Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO, NSE.
“India’s remarkable rise in fintech and technological advancements in recent years, coupled with the surge in digital consumption, presents an ideal environment for international businesses to thrive. UOW’s physical presence in India signifies more than just a strategic move; it represents our commitment to fostering deeper research engagements with our Indian partners, resulting in impactful global outcomes. Our presence in India allows us to provide world-class education, nurturing India’s young population and contributing to their holistic development. It also aligns with our vision to expand our international footprint, strengthening our global network and creating a bridge for knowledge exchange,” added Professor Frino from UOW.
On the occasion of the book launch, UOW Global Brand Ambassador and cricketing legend Adam Gilchrist interacted with the delegation from NSE and key Australian government officials and rang the ceremonial bell, signifying stronger Australia – India relations in trade, research and education partnerships.
The University, which has a strong global presence, has been successfully operating campuses in Australia, Dubai, Malaysia and Hong Kong. It will commence its India operations in 2024 with a Graduate Certificate in Computing and a Masters in Computing (Data Analytics), followed by other undergraduate programs. UOW already has close ties with over 30 Indian universities for research and educational collaborations in the areas of software development, advanced medicine solutions, molecular and life sciences, advanced manufacturing, cybersecurity and mining technologies.

CLAT To Be Conducted In Regional Languages- NTA To Delhi High Court
Published
3 days agoon
September 21, 2023
New Delhi, September 21, 2023 – The National Testing Agency (NTA) has made a significant announcement, stating its readiness to conduct the Common Law Admission Test (CLAT) in a variety of regional languages, potentially as early as 2024. This move aims to make CLAT, a crucial examination for law aspirants, more accessible to students across India. However, the final decision rests with the Consortium of National Law Universities (NLUs), the current organizers of CLAT.
In response to a petition presented before the Delhi High Court, NTA revealed its willingness to conduct CLAT in languages such as Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, Punjabi, Tamil, Telugu, and Urdu. This initiative could revolutionize the accessibility of legal education by breaking down language barriers.
The NTA further stated its readiness to administer CLAT in Computer Based Test (CBT) mode, similar to other major entrance exams such as JEE and CUET. If approved, the CLAT (UG)-2024 could potentially be held in the third or fourth week of January 2024, taking into consideration the necessary preparations.
This move has garnered widespread support from students and educationists who believe it will foster inclusivity and democratize access to legal education. Advocates argue that conducting CLAT in regional languages aligns with India’s emphasis on mother tongue-based education, as recommended by the 2020 Education Policy and the 2009 Right to Education Act.
Despite the enthusiasm surrounding this decision, there are valid concerns regarding the feasibility and cost implications. Ensuring accurate translation and equal access to exam materials for all students will be paramount. Additionally, coordinating the logistics of conducting CLAT in multiple languages will be a complex endeavor.
CLAT, which is presently conducted solely in English, has faced criticism for allegedly discriminating against students with regional language backgrounds, potentially violating constitutional articles 14 and 29(2). This development holds the potential to bring about a transformative change in the way aspiring lawyers across India prepare for their legal careers.
As the legal fraternity awaits the final decision by the Consortium of National Law Universities, the prospect of CLAT being conducted in regional languages has ignited hope for a more inclusive legal education landscape while also presenting a set of logistical and financial challenges that must be thoughtfully addressed.

In a significant move aimed at ensuring continuous education for students, the state government has formulated a plan to re-employ retired teachers in government schools who superannuated during the ongoing academic session. This decision aims to maintain the educational flow without disruption.
Sources close to the matter have revealed that the re-employment scheme encompasses all teachers, including school heads, and selection will be based on various factors such as workload and student-teacher ratios.

He highlighted that this approach will prevent any disruptions in students’ education due to the mid-term retirement of teachers.
Sindhu also pointed out the existing shortage of teachers, with over 38,000 vacant positions in government schools across the state. He urged the government to expedite the filling of these vacancies to address the pressing issue of teacher shortages.

CBSE Director Academics, Joseph Emmanuel, delivers a national session on NEP implementation and way forward
Published

September 19, 2023
Dr. Joseph Emmanuel, Director Academics of Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), delivered an insightful online session on the National Education Policy 2020, its impact, its implementation and the way forward on Friday, September 15, 2023.
A strong proponent of NEP and competency-focused education, Dr. Emmanuel addressed over a thousand educators from schools across India in a highly informative session facilitated by Saamarthya Teachers Training Academy of Research (STTAR).
Laying out the vision of NEP at the outset, he said, “Basically, the NEP focusses on four major areas: Equity, Excellence, Inclusivity and Access. After the launch of NEP, the Indian education system has seen two NCFs – the National Curriculum Framework for Foundational Stage and the National Curriculum Framework for School Education. These two curricula are aimed at taking ahead the implementation of NEP in a synchronized manner and it should be the aim of all institutions to provide quality education to all children.”
Dr. Emmanuel highlighted the major areas of focus for NEP and emphasized the need for a shift to competency-focused teaching and learning, transforming assessments, tracking student progress across school years, holistic development of each child, and standard setting and accreditation.
“Competency focused education is a major area in which CBSE has been working. It involves curricular interventions, pedagogical interventions, assessment reforms, student enrichment activities and development of resource material and capacity building of teachers,” Dr. Emmanuel said.
As teachers were the predominant audience of the session, Dr. Emmanuel shared a good number of references to resource material for teachers of all grades and domains to empower their teaching skills. These included samples of pedagogical processes, blueprints and assessment items and rubrics. He strongly advocated the implementation of experiential learning pedagogies like art and sports integrated learning, storytelling, toy-based learning. “Education has to be child-centric and inclusive to ensure individual development. An enabling environment for competency-focussed education can be created through transformation in content, pedagogy, assessments and capacity building,” he said. He spoke of SAFAL as an upcoming platform to assess key competencies in students. He stressed upon need to strengthen School Quality Assessment and Assurance (SQAA), as envisioned in NEP, through a framework comprising seven key domains.
Dr. Emmanuel has an experience of 30 years in the field of education. He is leading the implementation of NEP in CBSE schools across India.
The session was managed by STTAR which is a premier teachers training academy with expertise in professional development of educators, curriculum development, research, and school enrichment.
Sushma Raturi, member secretary of STTAR, who hosted the session, said the address by Dr. Joseph Emmanuel is an attempt to educate and create widespread awareness about the implementation of NEP 2020. In fact, some of STTAR’s upcoming programmes are deeply aligned with the vision of NEP, including a three-day programme on ‘Early Childhood Education As Envisioned in NEP’ in September and a National Teachers’ Olympiad to provide teachers a country-wide platform to test their competence and have a roadmap for professional development. The Olympiad will be held in December, 2023.
