0:00 is we have to go through the each and every line of the NDP 2020. Now the different documents from the UC, NCT and the different regulations from the concerned universities are coming. So now the NP 2020 is unfolding. So you know a transition phase this is a very difficult phase and it is always said that even the best of the curriculum are bound to fail. Even the best of the policies are bound to fail unless quickened into the classroom by the teachers. So the biggest responsibility of each policy and each curriculum is on the shoulders of the teachers. That's why we are called teachers as the nation builder
0:45 education nation build we call it teacher educators. So uh it's a very important component of NEP 2020 where we need to empower our teachers through ethics, innovations and Indian knowledge system. We need to understand Students learnations.
1:59 Now we can't live without technology and innovation. This is a part and parcel. You can see the part and effect. One person say company join within six months he made drastic changes in the company system and he developed one software AI based software which can generate ERP systems. ERP system. Just ask them.
2:50 They are working for 10 to 12 hours under so much stress. So this is a challenging situation before all of us. drastic changes. We need to prepare our institutions, our universities, our student and all the responsibilities on the shoulders of teachers. We all teachers have to be very much aware about the innovation, technologies, our union knowledge system and along with all these things we should be well grounded in our ethics.
3:39 technology. So it's a very relevant theme uh which is the part of this national seminar and we are thankful to the ACDC for allowing us to conduct this seminar with all the teacher educators. We are really thankful to all the institutions and all the uh guests who are coming here who who came here for the session chair.
4:28 Online 60 to 40 offline more than 22 universities are participating in this seminar and more than 40 colleges all over the India. So it's a really a national outlook of this seminar and we are very much hopeful that contribution we will try to document all these contribution in the form of a paper presentation also and after one week we will start the process of publishing a papers college research journal the
5:16 selected papers will be published in the college research journal the details will be shared with all the participant within next seven days so we are very thankful to all those institutions who have sent their papers for the publication as well as for the presentation. So with these words we are we are welcoming all the participant online as well as well as offline in this national seminar with one word GGA college of management. Thank you very much. >> Thank you so much for your inspiring words Dr. Produ principal of our
6:03 college. So now let us move to one of the most significant segment of today's seminar that is the keynote address. It is my profound privilege to introduce our keynote speaker professor Raiinder Singh dean college development council Punjab University Chandigar. It is my privilege to place before you a brief introduction of our speaker through though his achievements they can hardly be confined to this short profile. Welcome
6:52 language I should speak in college students should I say students teach us wish you all a very good morning so this is the second time I think I'm coming to this college for the seminar So I think I came it was last year only. >> Yes. >> Uh it was really a very good witness last year and since it was very good last time I thought of you know this time also it's my you know privilege and my pleasure to come here for this thanks to
7:39 and the team for inviting me here. So uh the topic of this seminar empowering teachers it is empowering teachers with ethics innovation and Indian knowledge system. I think it is a very relevant uh topic very relevant theme in the present time. It is about empowerment of the teacher. I think it is of interest for the students as well of this college because you all are aspiring to become teachers since you are doing B and M since it is about empowering teachers. I
8:25 think this profession of teaching is the most empowered profession in this world. When I was a student, I thought of joining this profession and fortunately with the blessing of God, I could be in this profession. Why I thought of joining this profession of teaching? To me it was like that a teacher is an institution in himself or herself. in itself of herself. Whereas in the other professions in case we talk about the corporates,
9:11 in case we talk about the government department, in case we talk about the other organizations and the people who are working there in case I talk about the lines You talk about you talk about datas. Maybe those people are working much harder or maybe they work much harder than the founder of this group. But in
9:57 case you talk about your schools from where you have got your school education, you talk about your colleges from where you are studying or you have studied. So that is the beauty of this profession. But of course is a huge country. I wanted to be a teacher. I became teacher but unfortunately maybe for the last seven eight years I went to administration. >> No ma'am but I like teaching the most
10:45 but teaching as compared to administration as a good administrator. I'm talking about you know the strength this profession has this profession of teaching. Maybe you're a very good administrator. Maybe you are a civil servant having a very big government department. Maybe you are adding a university as va or maybe any other department. In case you're very good administrator, you will get a renown in that department only or maybe in two or three more department. But in case you are a good teacher, when I say good teacher, it includes a
11:31 researcher, you can become renowned across the world. Am I right or wrong? I have written one book. Uh it was published by it is published by Taylor and Francis. Just checking in which libraries this book is available. So I found one association from Philadelphia association of librarians. So they have got 54 libraries in their association. So I found that book is lying on the shelf of all those 54 libraries. So I'm quoting this just to apprise you about the strength of this profession. I'm standing here right. I belong to Punjab University. I
12:19 teach to students of Punjab University religious center but my the book which you know I have addicted I'll say might be somebody sitting there in those you know libraries sitting there in Philadelphia. So that is the beauty of this profession. In case you have written a good book, it may become a reference book across the world. In case you have written a good research paper, it may be you know referred. People may refer it may cite it across the world. So what I'm trying to say is as a good administrator the area the domain within which you can
13:04 become renowned is very very limited but when you are a teacher your area of coverage will be much more wider than you will be covering as a good administrator. That is the beauty of this. So that is you know what attracted me to this profession. colleges universities schools they are known by the teachers. We talk about these institutions after after we discuss we talk about the teachers who taught us there. So that is the beauty of this profession. So few of us are already into this profession and those who are not those who are
13:50 sitting as you know here as students they'll be joining this profession in the later part of their life after covering their education. So that is the strength this profession has. But then when I talk to my students when I ask them would you like to become teacher since I teach to MBA students. So out of 50 no this is a class that we have. I hardly find any single or maybe two students raising hand liking to become or you know expressing their desire to become So whereas
14:36 the strength of this profession you know which I told you earlier is like that on the other hand very few people are ready to become why it is so is it because of us the teachers and the principles or is it because of the people sitting outside. So to me it is like this that it is because of we we the teachers though this profession is very good. uh gachas told us that we are creation builders and uh I think this this line we have always been hearing but
15:22 we have not thought about what actually the meaning of this saying is teacher is a nation builder because what I feel is a teacher is not teaching the content which is available there in the books a teacher is actually working on the thought process of the students. Teachers are developing the thought process. The kind of thought a teacher will be developing amongst the students. Am I right? So you're not teaching only the content which is there in the course. You are actually training the minds. We are training the mind.
16:10 So that's why we say that teachers are nation builders. But coming again back on that point there can be number of reasons but which I could see is topic seminar ethics innovation and Indian knowledge system I'll talk about these no as a teacher I said mean when we say teacher it means a culture as well as a teacher. So let us cover these two aspects. No, in order to become a teacher, in order to become an empowered teacher, in order
16:57 to become a teacher before they take the name of the school or the we have to do good in both these areas, the structure as well as the teacher. There are very good researchers but then amongst us there are people who are just after building the resumeum. Assume in the sense means number is there but actually there is no output in real sense. Many of us have done doctrine including myself.
17:43 Many of us has published numerous you know such papers published in high impact journals. Few day back I was interviewing the candidates for an appointment in the university. There was one candidate. So while introducing himself he said I am amongst the top 5% researchers at the global level he shared a long list of such papers published by him. So I put forward a very simple question. So what is your contribution? Any single contribution you can tell to us which is actually helpful for the society or maybe to any particular segment of society or maybe for an
18:29 industry. So he was voting as you know I am amongst the top 5% the searchers in the world he could not share a single contribution so in case that is a kind of research so in spite of becoming a teacher you not actually be a teacher we evaluate PhD thesis we conduct that virus examination of creat. I went to you know deliver one talk of ethics in research wherein the students doing doctorate
19:16 and the teachers also who have done dorate was fitting. So I put forward one simple question to them. What is the most difficult question which you feel is asked in the vos examination? Can you imagine what was the reply? It was what is the relevance of your thesis? What is the relevance of your many of the you know sers doing doctorate PhD at least four four and a half years five years and you're not able to answer the relevance
20:05 am I right or wrong those who are into teaching already. They very well know it fullarchy in case that is the case. So can can you think that a teacher will become a public? I come from the field of an what should be the kind of research we should be doing as a teacher. We have you know uh banking system we all know
20:52 then we know that our deposits like in the banking you know in banks that is insured up to 5. How many of us know that it insurance banking industry on the base of trust you keep your money in a bank with this feeling with this confidence with this trust that bank when needed this money will be returning back to you. In case that trust is broken what will happen? You will rush to the bank. You will try to withdraw your money and bank status maybe bank is very strong but humor can
21:37 spoil the whole banking. Let us say state bank of India is there and there comes a news that this bank is in trouble. Is it possible for even strong because they are connected. There was one person governor of Federal Reserve Bank of America. So he introduced this concept of deposit insurance.
22:23 deposit insurance because I know so that's that provided strength to the banking industry and you know what he was given local brand Nobody's actually making use of it.
23:08 Unus no very prominent name Bangladesh he again is a novel. How how many of you have heard the concept of micro credit? micro credits. He started the concept
23:59 Somebody wants to sell vegetables. So this started providing credit. He started lending money to these people and this concept later on came to be known as micro lending and this Muhammad unus was given Nobel prize for that. This kind of research we should be doing only then we will become involved. Then since I come from the field of
24:47 one person again we all people we all make investment but the concept that correlation between these assets you're including in
25:32 the portfolio should be negative or less than one. And you know he was also given Nobel prize for this. What I'm trying to say do research otherwise there is you will earn you know robo everybody's not like that But people
26:20 everybody's now talking about this. We should not do it. But then again the active category of personal journalism. So this this was about the ethics and research. Then let us come down to the ethics and teaching. I said means very few people there ready to join the teaching profession. Those who actually want to join it or who have joined it. What was actually the issue? Few days back one of my student came to me. She appeared for an interview in a private university and she said
27:12 this was what she shared with me. as compared to the other professions. Did we come to this profession thinking or you know after learning that actually we are going to build the nation will be the nation builders
28:00 going means what image after joining this profession they'll be creating for this profession. applied real life but then I was aware
28:46 it will be difficult for them to I gave the passage somewhere then the university asks you to become the exam So there was a purpose of accepting that it is real life experience which I actually witnessed. I hope you're listening to me.
29:33 I went there. I think let us say 80 marks. What I found is number 71 72 74 75 65 but then I started reading the answer sheets.
30:28 I was reading the answer sheets. And what I found is So in case that is a state of affair, how can we think So
31:16 it's my duty to set free and to examine himself. I was expecting but we are doing it very well.
32:01 The implication builder student not coming to the class getting marked as present. It's not a small thing.
32:56 internal assessment national education policy 2020 number of papers then this demand from the colleges paperback and MTC they should be internally assessed. It should be allowed by the university. quality teachers Quran what difference it will make but even then there's a demand now you can imagine why that demand is
33:45 you give this power to us we'll get it internally well what is the CGP means perfection. We say there is always a scope for improvement. when it is 10 out of 10 scope of improvement there. So where actually we are heading I'm still stressing on the assets
34:32 teaching students sometimes they say teachers do partiality partiality How can they then you think he will give you good respect when everything is being noted.
35:29 But they know each and everything. You are watching too much. How can we say there
36:17 Students expressly or implied It is a great threat to most of the professions. Will they be relevant or will they become irrelevant?
37:09 Right. Punctuality discipline impartiality behaviors. Only then I think you become empower. And in case I think we are able to achieve that ethically good punctuality in the class evaluation on merit impartiality with the students and then
37:56 You will see cable spec will be there. I have seen students In case you are away from the class, you are not allowed to enter the class.
38:45 That was great learning experience. Let us be ethically good. Let us consider all our students as our own children. We are the administrator. We are the college. Is it right?
39:42 population. In case it is like this, nobody's going to give respect. Rather, we should be more responsible for the children of other parents. I was having good interest in mathematics and I was expecting to explain with
40:29 logics when he was writing. on board. He said all the students should not everybody Okay. You go back the subjects which you were actually found of and
41:15 then you stopped reading. What was the reason behind that? interest a teacher's duty is just and just to create interest in the subject once you are able to do that I feel 90% work is done
42:03 to create interest in the subject. People are talking about the relevance of teachers. AI can do anything but AI will not be able to create interest and I said 95% we are still but we need to identify what we are going to do maybe a will be sol solving the problems but logic
42:49 But we need to evaluate. Do we need teacher in case a teacher is like that? No. Then we don't need we need to make the student logically understand three things. So teacher is still relevant. So I'm just sharing my experience. It's not relevant that you can just evaluate that. So teacher is this profession is very very pious profession. It is about making lives. You can do other jobs or I can do other
43:35 jobs. It is a sin actually. Let us not do it. It is very important. talk logically. Since we conduct particularly political science, publicology and we look in our surroundings. What we see that these courses are
44:22 political science sociology again is it right these are the subjects political science sociology administration but these subjects will sociology. Can you think of developing the society without studying
45:09 identify only then you'll be able to make or you know get interest in the students about the subject. Then we'll move on to the next part. Innovation. I'll take few minutes. How much time do I have? So innovation is again I will appreciate that they have included this aspect also in the theme of this seminar. You know what I see is I have been a student Then I became teacher.
46:08 Yes or no? I think so. Let us update ourselves with the latest things. One way lectures will not do. Artificial intelligence is there. Let us along with our skills make use of this for the benefit of teaching mode of learning. It is self study plus classroom study mixed with technology.
46:53 We will learn all that innovation in pedagogy. What is ultimate objective? What is the ultimate objective? When I teach to my students or when I talk to my students, my objective is development of the thought process. Development of thought process because
47:39 when you work in that direction only then you can think of innovation coming in. But I'm talking about a broader perspective. There's something called asy level 11. So when you will teach to your students with that perspective in mind only then you can think of innovation coming in. I will share this with you with one example. I was taking again the oral examination
48:36 1 2 3 4. He started taking name of first, second de third fourth fifth. And he was giving an expression. He's still thinking. I'm still thinking. So I allow him. Maybe he will add something new to this. So let us give space to our students
49:28 and that would have innovation. We need to work in that direction. So this is what actually I wanted to share knowledge system. We are talking about this also again one letterage set actually we have been ruled over by know outsiders Britishers for over 200 years and we normally say that
50:17 trillion So this is but the kind of cultural damage they made to our society that is means you can't even imagine the value we have lost language particularly traditional old literature they In which language? Once language is finished.
51:07 We have got very good literature with us and thankfully we are again talking about it. I was uh going through one study uh it was published by there's one agency pen pen and pen it is an American agency so it was the study of sleeping pills consumed by the residents of India 10 88,000 something Switzerland
51:59 also come somewhere around 45 people they are eating to sleep against you can search it on you'll find it consumed by the resation look at the number then I started analyzing what can be the reason behind it. So what I found is our society is based on join family culture join me at a nuclear means
52:46 family what I found is maybe I'm not sure about this what I feel can be the reason and we are able to sleep without sleeping they do not have any unfortunately see from joint culture family culture to nuclear family culture nuclear we are moving towards I don't know whether I should share that with you or not you know living type of culture is there we need to evaluate
53:34 which direction we are heading is it right or not just don't copy for the sake document is coming from west and that is the best let us not just do that let us evaluate what repercussions it will be having so with these words thanks I'll take a lot of time thank you thank Thank you so much sir for your thought session. So as our as our keynote speaker sir has to leave urgently for a meeting. So we would like to formally honor him

First of all uh again welcoming to the dignitaries on offline and online platform the special guests of the day the principles of various colleges at GHD college. I convey my humble hands to principal Dr. Bett Singha for giving me this opportunity to get connected with you all on this national seminar. The theme also of the seminar is very
1:02:08 catching and very apt as well as it is the need of the era. I would say uh which is I think very specifically mentioned by the previous speaker also. The topic that was given to me was system IKS. We are talking a lot about IKS reviving indigenous wisdom in education. We need to understand first of all what is to be rewired, what is to be relived and what exactly we are looking at when we are talking about IKS. First of all Indian knowledge system and then we are talking about indigenous education as
1:02:53 well as we are talking about wisdom that has been gathered in the past. The uh title of my paper presentation as well as my uh discourse for today I have chosen from Gurupul to NP 2020. We all know that it has been a very long journey from Gurupul to NP 2020 and there is where we are talking about indigenous knowledge, indigenous wisdom. Three things we are going to talk in these upcoming 2530 minutes which are allocated to me that I should be confining myself and reaching to the
1:03:39 today's uh takeaway for all the participants in this national seminar. I am going to talk about how to enhance indigenous knowledge that is IKS. First of all, how to integrate in the classroom and then making it a practical way of life. I am going to start with what knowledge we are talking about. What knowledge we have missed out and that's why we are saying an EP 2020 is going to be a turning point for bringing a change in our educational setup.
1:04:25 to be very clear about the knowledge. Whenever any civilization is to be studied, whenever a system is to be studied, we should be very clear about how are we studying the system systematically. Now if you look into the scope of knowledge when we are talking about that knowledge needs to be related. So the kind of knowledge we need to understand at that point of time now I am taking you back to the history I'm taking you back to number of years when we are saying that knowledge needs to come back that that knowledge needs to be relived and we need to embrace that. If you see
1:05:13 what was the scope of the knowledge at that point of time was there were only three to four maximum three to four civilizations which were to be studied. That was the scope of knowledge and that was the scope of somehow information also and experiential learning also as well and we are the part of Harapan civilization. We all know that different names are given industrial civilization, sindu, bhartiki, sapita and all that we are all aware about it. But then how the knowledge enhanced now why are we talking so much about IKS now and what did we miss out in the whole process and
1:06:00 where is the realization? What is the realization? The realization is now we have started embracing the context. We have missed out in the context and that is the need of the era. I'm going to take you back to the knowledge of when we say a bharat. Now when we say a bharat sorry uh I think there is okay a kind bharat is where the actual knowledge has been gathered. Akand Bharat we all know uh maybe we can
1:06:45 say from Myanmar to Afghanistan and from Himalayas to uh Indian Ocean and further down the whole knowledge is what had been gathered and what had been specifically we are uh talking about is our knowledge as Indian knowledge indigenous knowledge. Now there is lot of change. Global crisis are happening. Value erosion is is very much visible. Value erosion is not only in Indian context. It is universal. Value erosion. We can be talking about the wars kind of wars are happening. The system change that is happening. The
1:07:31 human value that is reducing. So it has become a kind of realization for us what actually was happening in the whole system is we are teaching to our children in the narrow context. This is what we need to be understanding as a teaching fraternity. When we teach our knowledge comes from subcontinents of India. Those subcontinents of India are not the part of our curriculum. Now it is not the part of our book. It is not the part of our teaching learning
1:08:18 process. Knowledge comes from a very vast which I use the word akand bharat. Akand bharat has given us knowledge, experiences, observation, literature. So much of our literature, Hindu, so much of literature is there. But when we talk to our children, children do not know actually because that cannot be now either visited or it cannot be seen. It cannot be practically applicable when we talk about knowledge grows when we visit. But now those things are not there with us. Now if you look into the middle part we
1:09:05 are teaching this to our children from our book knowledge. When we talk about knowledge it is a larger it is a vast or you can say it is subcontinent knowledge also which is actually knowledge of a kandhar. Now this is what is the realization 2020 is bringing into the context. If we need to maintain, if we agree to maintain our culture, our languages, our literature, we will have to make our children aware about, knowledgeable about akand bharat which is very very important context of knowledge. So this
1:09:52 realization you can say NEP 2020 has brought in or so many years of independence has brought in or educators are feeling realizing now. So basically the gap the break between the knowledge ultimately is understood realized that is coming what is getting given to the next the gap needs to be filled up and I talks about Indian knowledge system. So this is what basically is going to be seminar as well as for our personal introspections. Why we need to upgrade ourselves? Why as
1:10:39 teachers we need to be contributing? What is the missing out concept of our knowledge? We need to be very alert about it and we need to be very aware about it. For example, it's a very I would say coming down five rivers. Now five rivers has only three ribs. So the name says punch up. Everyone knows now punch up. But now we do not know. We cannot show our children. We cannot. So sub into coming to five rivers coming to three. Knowledge has got its own gaps as well
1:11:25 as it has got uh the you can say the loops which are to be plugged in which are to be covered up and teachers need to be more aware about. So there are some uh terminologies for example though aba why it was called do aa why it was called sindu why it was called punch aba. So these are the context which are missing out in our teaching learning strategies and teachers need to be covering up those gaps understanding what actually Indian knowledge system what domains it has. So each one of us first of all we will have to understand
1:12:11 our knowledge is nothing new. It is more than 5,000 years of our in the next slide I'm going to actually tell you. So these are uh some of the context some of the domains. We have our own aya which is medication. We have our own yoga vic mathematics architecture and number of things which we will be talking in the coming slides is are our original. We have not borrowed this knowledge. We have experienced this knowledge in very short span of time. I am really going to cover up this journey as fast as I could because this journey of IPS is a
1:12:56 evolution evolution from Vedas to 21st century. So when we talk about Vedas to 21st century, it is not a very small journey. It is a long long journey. And if you look into on the slide this vic period of we have our own epics and then we had golden era also we had uh colonal system also colonized the system also and number of changes which have taken place and now we have reached to 21st century and we are talking about Indian knowledge system. So it's a very long journey. I would want to go as fast as I can because this is the context which
1:13:42 gathers assimulates and passes on the knowledge. So first of all knowledge is experience experience. We had assimilated the knowledge. We have original knowledge with us and we are transmitting into the next generation and teachers are the transmitters of that knowledge which we all need to accept. We know >> but what needs to be passed on to the next generation out of all this knowledge which have been gathered for so many years. So it's a long journey cutting it short bringing it to what our Vedas are. Uh most of us I believe we should be aware about it. We have Rigda.
1:14:28 One minute sorry. We have Rigda, Yaja, Sam Veda, Earth Veda, Adharve Veda, sorry. And then these Vedas carry that knowledge which actually is survival for the civilization. When we say survival for the civilization, it is it is teaching us how to think. It is teaching us about humankind. It is teaching us about what is right. Now when we say what is right basically we can connect it to number of things which we develop that is a possibilities. Nowadays we say in management they use a term SOP. So when we say SOP actually is how are we
1:15:16 implementing that what is the procedure for so these Vedas actually made us understand with uh third one if you say Sam Veda talks about feelings emotions empathy and that's how the way of life needs to be based on this knowledge which we say gan And that knowledge was not only library context, it was practically way of life in our uh in our ancient times. So when we say when we want to explore Vedas as a guide for life, we need to understand what is
1:16:03 a knowledge and how to be impacted. So there are two things what and how. How did we gather that knowledge in Indian context? If we see our knowledge actually started from spirituality. Now if you see Maslo's theory actually tells us about satisfying then reaching to the highest. But here the experiential learning in Indian context spiritual knowledge or spiritual experiential learning search for truth. We have practical examples for search in search of truth. We have role models in our society also. We have
1:16:48 been embracing human emotions. We have moral values in our system. And India was always considered as a peaceful country. India was always considered as nonviolent country. India never attacked on somebody. Uh and India always embraced different type of people who had been even coming to evade the country also. So this all came from where? How did this knowledge come to us? It came through observations. It came through personal enlightenment, personal experiences, inner inquiry. So this is what when nowadays in the
1:17:33 current time when we talk about inquiry model, we got talk about personal experiences, experiential learning, if you look into the timeline, this all prevailed in our system. So Vedas is the knowledge how to live is a or a ordinance which is given to us and is a search of truth. Why are we here? What is the purpose of life? What is my uh living? So this all is when we talk about there is a way of life which is given to us uh in our ancient culture. Then we move on to the era of
1:18:21 our epics. We all know there is lots of learning from our effect epics. There is lots of morality. Morality which talks about obedience, honesty and integrity and uh number of things like even youth also when it has to be um it has to be attacked. uh that was the philosophy which when we talk about yud what is right and what is wrong is your karmic accounts. So here comes the philosophy of karmic accounts in our way of life and we all know that there are not many learnings from our ethics even about family system also as
1:19:08 well. Then we have dharam shastras we have code of conduct. Dharam shastra is all about code of conduct ethical living social duty as a teacher what is my first ordinance what is my first duty first I give then I take so this as a teacher is my dharam when I talk about dharam shastras what is my social code of conduct my social code of conduct is in society also I should be a role model. I cannot be living a dual personality. I cannot be living in front of students. I'm a different person. In front of society,
1:19:53 I'm a different person. As a teacher it is my so social code of conduct also is honesty, fairness, kindness and this already is documented in our you can say Vic system, you can say ancient system or you can say Indian education knowledge system how to live right. Now there is where I said I mentioned about karmic accounts. We always say so karmic philosophy as a teacher we follow that because education system actually reaches to masses in the society to as many people in the society. So when we say it is reaching
1:20:38 to um masses ultimately teachers are conveying or teachers are the messengers of those messages. The kind of society we want to build around us. So our duties are explained our purpose is explained when we have our dharm shras. Few things are uh I will purposefully uh remove down from the slides to cover up the context as quickly as I could finish in these 30 minutes. Then very important is earth shastra. Shastra is your economic way of life. You just cannot go all the time. I am just giving to a society. What society is giving to back giving back to me also is for example
1:21:27 there is a beautiful saying who has said only had said this if you are hungry your basic necessities are not satisfied you cannot even participate in religion you cannot participate in political practices also first of all I need to satisfy my So earth shastra is your economy, your economic system. I need to satisfy my first basic desires. So we need not to borrow master's theory for that. We are already told by our vic system.
1:22:20 So charity gota so all these are ordinances for even the leadership also. So it's a king's duty to see Tumari pra and that's what is the leadership even in education also even in the universities also the topmost leadership needs to see how your citizens how your students how your people belonging to your schools colleges universities are happy which is very very important and it is a ordained to us which is to be followed uh we come to the very much formalized system. Now I do not mention I do not
1:23:06 say that previous system was not formulized but this system when we talk about takila and nalanda um common men also knows this was the best system at that point of time foreign international universities even have not come in existence even Oxford Harvard all these universities were not there but India had its international universities. You can imagine when these universities were destroyed. Please try to find out some facts about it. They say that for months library it took months for the destroyers and
1:23:54 that library kept on burning for a long time. And you can imagine how concrete and how knowledgeable, how vast would be that system which took months to get destroyed. But it happened. So history tells us our knowledge was actually burned out. But still if the knowledge was burnt out that does not mean our system was burnt out. knowledge uh which was captured into the books that got burnt out but our system I can talk about our scholars who contributed and who have given to the society who have given to the world to the universe best of their contributions and this is
1:24:40 what was a system libraries system remain katara. Gurul system was the system which we say actually teaches you residential universities. Nowadays we have residential schools. Nowadays we have it was a complete surrender. Parents parents would 100% rely upon the gurus that in the residential education. This is how this is what my child needs to be made. So highly personalized individualized attention guru far we all are clear about it. But then
1:25:27 gradually what happened after this disaster of universities and all gurus also needed the protection. Gurus also guru also needed the protection. And then there was a construction of boundary walls. We needed the soldiers. We needed the because the system was to be protected. So from that system actually it so happened we have the society of the chhatrias because gurut was to be cleaned also. We had the societies of who will be cleaning the gurugul system. So these are the I would say varna system came into existence when system
1:26:15 needed system support. Ultimately it turned out to be lot of you can say castism and all that that's a different story altogether but how one system prevailed to other system from education to pushhatrias from education to some people they wanted to and some people they did not want to study they did not they wanted to do something else they wanted to become different they were not the part of the guru system and that's how system
1:27:04 we had our philosophical foundations also mentioned the doains of we had our own arts we had our own architecture as an example I will be talking about in the coming slides so process also acceptable completely acceptable to the other system that is parents. Parents actually surrendered their children and teachers actually adopted the system that ating more knowledge was getting gathered and system was growing. So all
1:27:52 these were the teaching learning method probably some of you if you are aware about Siddhi Gurunan has written goshi even gurun's time also there was a dialogue system si it is specifically mentioned when they are asking to gurun who is better hindu gurun said So this is what is a dialogue. Dialogic form is one of the form where guru is teaching to the shisha. If this is what is going to happen to any of them because at that point of time only Hindu and Muslim was the religion which is which was prevalent. I'm talking about dialogic form as a
1:28:38 teaching learning methodology. Dialogic form was very very popular form of teaching learning process in our system prevailing at that point of time. We had our value system. Our value system we have not borrowed from anybody. We had our value system. We know a number of examples which I mentioned in the leadership as I said it even in our epic also the story would have been different if Mahatma Guda would have obeyed his father. The story would have been diff not obeyed his father. So obedience as a example is a prominent practical thing
1:29:26 in our whole gamut of knowledge and more you can say uh self discipline as well as a number of other things which we talk about as a morality as a life skill it prevailed in our system the respect respect for nature what we talk about in our environmental education nowadays we are taking a long Love the nature, love the soil, love the trees, love water, save water. All that has been much prevalent in our ancient system as well. Scientific temper actually makes us grow. Scientific temper actually is the curiosity. It is all about uh new
1:30:12 inventions, innovative strategies. So look into the town planning in this valley. We all appreciate how much systematically it was at that point of time. And then if you talk about metal energy is iron pillars which are still prevented. If you look into structures and now we are develing we are developing bridges on the basis of that scientific temple which those people they had so many years ago. That is how and that is why we are able to appreciate our heritage as well. So point to be understood in concluding statement that we have our own timeless
1:31:01 Indian knowledge system. Gurupool was the system. Gurupul had a curriculum. Gurupul had a teaching learning processes. Burul had uh kind of uh how to impart values as well and making better citizens in the society. So this was actually the system students in the gurul they lived with their teacher they learned through discussion questioning reflection I already mentioned practice practiced discipline character building was one of the character building was one of the uh prominent example if uh if we look into some of the examples guru pa guru dakshina and all that so this is certain
1:31:48 things which we can say uh very prominent in our system and we can make those examples as our role model examples how gurul system existed. The question comes over here education is not the learning of facts but the training of mind. Did we not know this before? Yes, we knew it and we had that in our education system. What happened actually in the whole process? If everything was going on so well, people came, people uh evaded India and then so many things were changing. But then ultimately the biggest loss happened
1:32:34 during the time of colonial education. one did not accept at all at all Indian education system they renewed actually Indian education system they considered Indians it's it's a writing it's in the books which is written they considered Indians fools because Indians believe in God they considered Indians as low caliber I hope some of you are very much clear about the story of 33%. So 33% when we talk about in university, schools and colleges please read this story of 33% of British they decided
1:33:19 Indians go one it will be 33% only which will be given to them and that was the decline of our guru system and when guru pool system started somehow demolishing major uh turn turning point or you can say major setback basically not that turning point but the setback happened at that point of time when they started killing our languages the language displacement was the biggest harm to Indian education system when now what happened when Lord McAll he said it that make Indians read this slide very
1:34:06 carefully our aim is to form a class who will be persons by Indian blood but they will start thinking English they will start thinking for British British morals inject that was Lord Mau in 1835 we all are aware about it we know actually what happened Gurugul we can say at that point of time but still some of the guru's were and that
1:34:55 also in the interiors in the interiors of India they kept on prevailing uh some of the gurupools existed after Lord Macall's full conversion uturn system actually said it that we want to produce that kind of people who cannot think. If you remember rigue, rigue is all about think right. Think right, do right. And that's how we talk about when we talk about Vic education. Here thinking only was converted force you will not think from Indian context and that was actually the loss
1:35:42 of our identity. the total loss of our Indian education system, our education personality and you can say thinking system actually destroyed at that point of time. time we all know out of 200 years if you say 1835 onwards 1947 or after that also the system prevailed and we still could not after that also we could not have our own gurugul system or ancient system or vic system we kept on the lingering impact
1:36:29 of British education was there on our education system as well so access and expansion uh was My friend system degrees were only for the employment. It was not for the life skills. Remember that. So this is where the basic change was life is ba. So this is how the system the total U-turn of our education system and I use the word loss of our Indian identity happened at that point of time. So what happened in the books our
1:37:14 children were knowing about Newton law but so Newton's work is celebrated by Aryaba who gave us the vital concept of zero was largely missing in our books in our context in our teaching learning process and even teachers also sorry to say uh the they were not much aware about the contribution of our scientists, our mathematicians, our literature and that's how number of things we can say because it was not in the curriculum, it was not in the teaching learning process and it was not executed in our daytoday
1:38:02 life and it never became the practice of our life. what IPS is wanting or expecting from us. What IKS is saying actually that are we wanting to change a total uh thing total setup? No, we are not wanting the total change. The the change which we are expecting is if we are teaching our children the precarious calendar which is January to December at least we can teach them lunar calendar also. We can teach them the names of the month also. We all need to introspect. How many of us are actually aware about our lunar names also? Some of us as
1:38:48 teachers probably I know myself because I learned in a very young age philosophy of Gurunan that is. So I know because I know I read that. So I know otherwise in my thought I also learned accordingly. These are the names. Before that I also did not know the money is written on the names of the month only or I could know and this is how the system and gradually after learning I got to know okay this was the context. So ultimately what I am trying to enforce or say over here is how many of us are actually aware about our own knowledge
1:39:35 system also as well we will have to introspect we have to take away that also as after this seminar so it can be combined we can teach our children January month so this is how we can be having so This slide also is very important for teaching learning strategies which is important. Coming to the turning point what actually is so holistic and flexible education actually belongs to so now LP 2020 is talking about mingling of our vic education our kas our knowledge which already had been in
1:40:21 the form of documentation. it has been destroyed. But as I mentioned, even if books were destroyed, even if libraries were destroyed, which did not mean that uh full knowledge was destroyed because people were singing, people were writing, people were uh reciting those uh narrating those stories what happened in the past and then it came into paper, pen, pencil and then it came in the form of documentation. So knowledge we have to practice a lot. We have to live those those practices of knowledge
1:41:09 so that we can pass it on to the next generation. So NP 2020 is a great effort. It is a great contribution to the society which is making us revive and relive ours system. How do we do that? If we are not aware about it, will it happen? No, it will not happen. If we will not accept it, can it coexist? What are we talking about? English, foreign languages. No, we are not talking about that. What are we talking? What are we wanting? We are wanting re-living Indian languages. Now this is what is going to be a golden opportunity for the teachers who will be knowing those languages. They probably
1:41:57 will be better picked up by the schools who can translate Sanskrit who can actually know Hindi who can speak Punjabi the translation Punjabi literature Tamil Gujarati Marati. So reliving the languages is the expectation of Indian system that is getting and NP 2020 is expecting from us. So IPS is a holistic approach whereas modern education system it is a cognitive focus only and that is what is a percentage. We are moving away from the marks and percentage. We are coming back to the life skills. good for generations. So teacher as a guru and as
1:42:44 a instructor instructor instruction for example who is an instructor instructor is car but when you are driving a car you are driving with wisdom anything when you are doing and you are implementing you are doing with your own wisdom. So IKS actually makes you guru is handholding person handhold or actually that is the difference between a guru and a instructor life centered learning is there over there modern education system you all are aware exam center
1:43:29 so that is what we need to look into examination should not be for the fear here to be cultivated. It should be for the achievement to be appreciated. Sense of appreciation. We have the ethics and values there. We are dividing skills as I mentioned in the previous slides also that we are just talking about degree that should not be the contation. IS needs to be appreciated because it is encouraging multidisciplinary as well as interdisiplinary research. Lots of research which needs to be uh in
1:44:15 IPS domain arts is appreciated music aesthetics and yoga. So I will I will confine within another two three minutes. I think there is a call for me that I should wind up as quickly as I can. I will I am very close. The role of teacher I need to be mentioning the role of teacher specifically what is teacher needs to be uh developing and implementing their own curriculum. Teachers need to be the ambassadors of culture. If teachers appreciate and embrace the culture that that culture only will be passed on to the next generation. What teachers will be embracing? We have storytelling, observation, practices, dialogue. As I
1:45:02 said that at primary level, we need to be appreciating these kind of strategies. At the middle level, we need to be developing uh in the classroom, we need to be developing those practices. Uh very very specifically, I must mention case study as a now this is what important slide I wanted to say. scientists which are missing out in our curriculum. We need to pay attention case study as pedagogy. It can be one of the best of the methodology that can be adopted in the classroom for our children because there is lots which has happened in the last last century and education has been assimilated and it have been growing at secondary level. We know that we should be giving hands-on
1:45:49 experience, experiential learning which is very very important. Appreciate our handiccraft and indigenous technology is very important. This is one of the deep which I will share later. developments of 1931.
1:46:51 Revolution. So this is what actually I will share with this with the WhatsApp group. I
1:47:37 will share this information. Uh it was a very relevant video. I felt that these are the contributions that we we as teachers should be aware about it. We need to be having selfreflection as a strategy is very very important strategy which we need to embrace and appreciate. And uh coming to the closer I education has definitely teacher education has lot of challenges. Teacher education needs to be collaborating. Teacher education needs to be taking the responsibility. Uh why it is needed or because it is a timeless IPSC system. uh we need to take we need to understand what can I be contributing into the into the whole
1:48:24 system which particular element today I can take for myself after this national seminar or through my daily practices I am a thoughts bearer of the society but basically what is my takeaway from the system so that I embrace IS embrace 2020 little change hand inhand experience we can be bringing about the change in the society. So concluding with the reviving IKS actually does not mean that going back to the ancient system ancient times I but it is about moving forward with wisdom from ancient.
