Ambassador Gurjit Singh during his maiden visit to the Sri Sri University, Cuttack conducted a session 'How to make education engaging and impactful in Google generation’ for the benefit of the teaching and nonteaching staffs.
He opined that India constitutes the third largest bank of scientific man power. However, it is strange that, Indians innovating in India are rare. Collaborative research can be a desired solution. To emphasise the point, he gave the example of ‘Harambe’, the Swahili term and ‘Ubantu’, the Shona term, which means ‘cooperative way of doing things’. This would be the pay out of the demographic dividend that India is boasting of, he stated.
He also emphasised on the need of building values in class room, the ‘Sistachar’. He pitched for equal wage for similar work for both men and women.
Vice Chancellor Prof Nand lal thanked Singh for the much awaited visit. Executive Registrar, Cmde Ghanashyam Ojha, Director Operations Narendra lamba and all the faculty members from various streams were present.
The session ended with vote of thanks by Student Affairs director Captain Chandrasekhar Panda.
