During the keynote address, Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, Shri Sanjay Kumar, pointed out that India needs to catch up with other countries in terms of skilling the workforce through formal vocational training during the student years. NEP 2020 has identified such issues and has suggested remedial measures, he added.

Shri Kumar pointed out that as per NEP, 2020 Vocational Education needs to be integrated into all schools and higher education institutions in a phased manner over the next decade. Trades and Courses shall be chosen based on skills gap analysis and mapping of local opportunities to make it demand driven. Concerted efforts from all stakeholders will be required to de-stigmatizeVocational Education and make it aspirational.  The National Credit Framework, currently under finalization by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship will also eliminate traditional hierarchies and silos between different areas of learning. It will help in removing complex separations between arts and sciences, between curricular and extra-curricular activities, between vocational and academic streams, etc. By providing credits for academic, extra-curricular and experiential learning, NCrF will help dropouts from the formal education system to get reintegrated by aligning their practical experience with the appropriate Framework level.

The consultations were also addressed by Ms. Dhuwarakha Sriram Chief of Generation Unlimited (YuWaah), Youth Development and Partnerships and Mr. Terry Durian, Chief of Education, UNICEF.  Various ideas related to reimagining, reinventing vocational education modules etc. were discussed at length. Importance of life skills – both vertical and horizontal, aspirational disconnect and information asymmetry in uptake of vocational education school,giving a gender perspective to vocational education, etc were also focus of these discussions.In the light of newly launched National Education Policy, 2020 the aim should be to empower students with skills such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, data analytics, robotic process automation, cybersecurity, etc. so that vocational graduates could compete in the global economy. The need to establish virtual labs, so that all students have equal access to high-quality practical and hands-on experience, was also stressed upon.  The Conference also benefitted from the feedback from students who have taken vocational courses like Multi-Skilling course and Information Technology course.

All India Institute of Ayurveda launches 6-Weeks programme on Ayurveda Day 2022

 All India Institute of Ayurveda (AIIA), under the Ministry of Ayush, today launched the Ayurveda Day 2022 programme. AIIA has been chosen as the nodal agency for driving the Ministry of Ayush’s mandate for Ayurveda Day this year. The theme for the celebration is ‘Har Din Har Ghar Ayurveda’.

Ayurveda Day curtain raiser for the six-week long programme (12th September-23rd October) saw the virtual presence of Minister of Ayush Shri Sarabananda Sonawal,  MoS for Ayush Dr Munjapara Mahendrabhai Kalubhai, Secretary Vaidhya Rajesh Kotecha, Special Secretary Shri  P.K Pathak and  NCSIM chairman Vaidya Jayant Deopujari.

The Ministry of AYUSH celebrates Ayurveda Day every year on Dhanvantari Jayanti and this year it will be celebrated on 23 October. This year the Ministry is celebrating it in   collaboration with all the Ministries and departments of Government of India so that every person of the nation is  made aware of traditional system of medicine.

Speaking at the occasion, Shri Sonawal said, “The six-week programme is a noble endevour to take forward the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji. The success of this programme will be possible only if we are able to reach every citizen of India, and therefore, over the coming weeks, we will focus all our energies to interact with and sensitise the people so that the message of Ayurveda can percolate down to all levels. ‘Har Din Har Ghar Ayurveda’ stresses on creating awareness of ‘Ayurveda for Holistic Health’ in every household. This will help our nation become healthy and strong.”

Sharing his views, Dr. Mahendrabhai said, “By joining hands with other countries, we aim to take Ayurveda to every house and make true the vision of “From Healthy India to a Healthy World”.

Director AIIA Prof. Tanuja Nesari shared the details of the programme and highlighted the key events that will take place over the next few weeks. The programme will see participation from various ministries of the Government of India with the aim of 3Js – Jan Sandesh, Jan Bhagidari, and Jan Aandolan.       


Benefits of attending Virtual conferences

In-person events such as international conferences, seminars, lectures, debates, symposia, and the like, have long served members of the academic community and professionals from industry, by serving as platforms where the latest knowledge can be acquired. Anyone wishing to update themselves on the most recent developments and advancements in their fields of interest can do so easily by taking part in such events. 

However, over the past few years, a new alternative to these in-person events have emerged in the form of virtual conferences that are conducted online. These online events as most people are aware of, are events that are conducted through the internet. Participants take part in the event by logging into websites or portals where the entire conference is being broadcast. While a lot of conference-goers are skeptical about such events, doubting their efficacy, many (including those who don’t normally take part in conferences) are finding these modern alternatives incredibly convenient and equally, if not more effective than their in-person counterparts. 

Listed below are all the various benefits that virtual conferences have to offer participants.

  • Being Able To Enjoy The Conference Experience From Home

This is perhaps one of the biggest advantages that taking part in an online academic conference has to offer conference-goers. Whereas for an in-person event, one would have to spend money on traveling to the venue of the conference, taking pains to navigate through a city and find the exact location of the venue, partaking in online conferences only requires people to simply sign up and log in, much like they would for an email or social media account. 

Aside from not having to spend money or waste time on traveling, finding accommodations and meals, participants of a virtual academic conference also needn’t worry about dressing conventions and rules. One can dress in the most comfortable attire possible for online conferences and not have to bother about formal wear. 

  • One Can Enjoy The Conference Experience On The Go

Yes! With the rapid advancement of smartphone technology, there’s no reason why one should only take part in an online conference from their home or any other static location. Participants can simply login to the website where the conference is taking place, from their mobile phones while they’re travelling and take part in while travelling from place to place. 

  • Participants Have More Time To Collect Their Thoughts

Unlike in-person conferences and symposia, where attendees are plagued by several distractions, including disturbances by other participants, noises (both from outside the venue and inside), lingering thoughts and worries about food, accommodation, and travel, participants of virtual academic events can devote their entire focus and attention to the virtual events that they’re attending with ease. This unwavering focus and attention that participants of virtual academic conferences are able to devote to these events helps them grasp remarkably more insights, retain more knowledge, understand concepts better, and ask more questions (to gain clarity on complex theories), than those who take part in in-person conferences. 

  • Gaining The Most Bang For Your Buck

Those who take part in conferences that are conducted virtually, also find that they have far more fulfilling experiences for lesser money than they do taking part in in-person academic events. This is because not only are the registration fees for such events far less than for conventional, in-person events, there is also no need for participants to waste their precious money on accommodation, food, and travel. This means that they can learn, network, develop their skills, and do everything else that they would in an in-person event, for much cheaper by taking part in a virtual academic event such as a conference, seminar, debate, lecture, or symposium.  

If you’re someone who has been thinking about taking part in a virtual academic event for a while now but has been putting it off, in the pursuit of better in-person events, you will find that international virtual conference from ARDA Conferences offers far more opportunities for career growth and enhancement, skill development, networking and forming profound collaborative partnerships and association than the former.
