These are many impacts of social media and technology has had on learning of society as a whole. Social media is changing dynamics of learning and affecting parents, students and society as a whole in desirable and undesirable way. This article concern is: “Are we ready for meeting the consequences of social media impact on growing learners as adult and children”? And it’s a matter of concern for us and society as whole. A number of study explained that the use of social media networks and the Internet is one of the most important factors that can influence educational performance of students positively or adversely but at some unwanted cost. The new communication uprising has effected major change in the culture and lifestyle of the youth.

Desirable benefits:

• Social media has increased the rate and quality of collaboration for learners by sharing information quickly, which can increase productivity and help them learn how to work well in groups.
• Social networking teaches adults the new skills they’ll need to survive in the business world. Being able to create and maintain connections to many people in many industries is an integral part of developing a career or building a business.
• By spending so much time working with new technologies, students develop more familiarity with computers and other electronic devices. With the increased focus on technology in education and business, this will help students build skills that will aid them throughout their lives.
• The ease with which a student can customize their profile makes them more aware of basic aspects of design and layout that are not often taught in schools. Building resumes and personal websites, which are increasingly used as online portfolios, benefit greatly from the skills obtained by customizing the layout and designs of social networking profiles.
• The ease and speed with which students can upload pictures, videos or stories has resulted in a greater amount of sharing of creative works. Being able to get instant feedback from friends and family on their creative outlets helps students refine and develop their artistic abilities and can provide much needed confidence or help them decide what career path they may want to pursue
• It is easy for students to collaborate on various team projects using social media. Students now have the ability to reach out to industry experts across disciplines, and this can help the students locate more authoritative sources of information.

Undesirable cost:

• Social media deploying our human value system and making our new generation less ethical and rational.
• Time wasting activity and adversely affecting our learner physical and mental health.
• Carrying very casual and aimlessly attitude for life due to their busyness on social media. So they don’t have time for their own introspection.
• Many learners rely on the accessibility of information on social media specifically and the web in general to provide answers. That means a reduced focus on learning and retaining information.
• They demand more money and may spend more money on social media presence.
• Many new learners who attempt to multi-task, checking social media sites while studying, show reduced academic performance Their ability to concentrate on the task at hand is significantly reduced by the distractions that are brought about by social websites like YouTube, Face book or Twitter and WhatsApp.
• Inability to think independently and they don’t have original thoughts and making up their mind about issues.
• The more time students spend on social sites, the less time they spend socializing in person. Because of the lack of body signals and other nonverbal cues, like tone and inflection, social media and networking sites are not an adequate replacement for face-to-face communication. Students who spend a great deal of time on social networking are less able to effectively communicate in person.
• Adults feel lonelier as a result of social media. Since they are communicating more and more through electronic means, they tend to have a harder time interacting with people in the real world.
• The popularity of social media, and the speed at which information is published, has created a careless attitude towards proper spelling and grammar. It reduces a student’s ability to effectively write without relying on a computer’s spell check feature.
• The degree to which private information is available online and the anonymity the internet seems to provide has made students forget the need to filter the information they post. Many colleges and potential employers investigate an applicant’s social networking profiles before granting acceptance or interviews. Most students don’t constantly evaluate the content they’re publishing online, which can bring about negative consequences years in the career success of the road.
• Retention and recall power can also suffer as a result of social media.
• Many of the existing problems badly affecting the youth – such as introversion, social isolation, Internet addiction, poor performance at schools, and the acquisition of bad habits and values, such as violence and criminal behavior are a direct consequence on our social culture.
• Social networking diverts them from learning and hiding their talent and competency. Now days they are not interested in daily studies, completing their homework, and even from communicating with family members.

Focus must be on: Moderating their access to social media is one excellent method. Most of the negative aspects can be overcome by reducing the amount of time spent on social network sites. Provide ample time for face-to-face social interaction.

The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the very nature of our lives. It disrupted everything we did - from the way we worked to the way shopped, from the way we socialized to the way we procured our essentials. It moved every aspect of our day-to-day existence.

This was Sitharaman’s third budget under the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. In a significant departure from the tradition, this year’s Budget was not printed and was only made available in a digital format.

In her speech, Finance minister announced that India’s fiscal deficit is set to jump to 9.5 percent of Gross Domestic Product in 2020-21 as per Revised Estimates. This is sharply higher than the 3.5 percent of GDP that was projected in the Budget Estimates. A slump in government revenues amid the Covid-19 pandemic has led to a sharp rise in deficit and market borrowing. In health care spending, Sitharaman announced a total spend of around Rs 2 lakh crore on healthcare with Rs 35,000 crore on Covid-19 vaccine development and inoculation.

The Budget for the fiscal year beginning April made no changes in personal or corporate tax rates but raised customs duties on certain auto parts, mobile phone components, and solar panels in order to provide impetus to domestic manufacturing.

During the time of unprecedented economic stress, the government’s responsibility was to spend enough to revive the economy or else face enormous human suffering. So, I think budget2021 takes it another step forward.

Photo Gallery Press Release

In his welcome speech, Shri Saket Jaipuria, Vice Chairman of Jaipuria Group of Educational Institutions mentioned the genesis of the Jaipuria groups educational ventures and the contribution of Dr Rajaram Jaipuria in spreading the light of education substantially during his life time carrying a family legacy forward. He mentioned that the presence of Hon’ble Vice President for delivering the First Memorial Lecture is a great honour for the Jaipuria Fraternity – Family, Business and Institutions.

Shri Shishir Jaipuria, Chairman, Jaipuria Group of Institutions mentioned the thought behind choice of the theme for the lecture - “Education, Entrepreneurship, Ethics” , as something very dear to the heart of Dr. Rajaram Jaipuria. He said the Memorial Lecture is inspired by the life experience and teachings of Dr. Rajaram Jaipuria. He had a strong futuristic vision, great entrepreneur who practiced ethical values and succeeded in simultaneously running a large industrial empire and creating educational institutions of excellence. The topic of this lecture was quintessentially inspired by his vision, contemporary nature of education and need for a strong ethical base. He drew parallel between the philosophical inclination of Hon’ble Vice President and Dr Rajaram Jaipuria and said the stature of this event has been greatly enhanced by the Chief Guest of the occasion, Shri Vekaiah Naidu ji, Hon’ble Vice President of India.

In his address, Hon’ble Vice president of India Shri M Venkaiah Naidu expressed this happiness for being part of this occasion. He said, “An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise, both will wither and die”. I am therefore glad that the Ideals and Values for which Dr Rajaram Jaipuria stood for, all his life, have been carefully nurtured by his successors, and we have assembled here today to celebrate his Idea of ‘Empowering the Next Generations through Quality Education”.

Address by Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, Honourable Vice President at the Dr. Rajaram Jaipuria Memorial Lecture in New Delhi on 30th April 2019

I am extremely happy to be here today at this magnificent Convention Center named after Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar to deliver the First Dr Rajaram Jaipuria Memorial Lecture.

Let me begin with one of my favourite quotes of Babasaheb Ambedkar, the father of Indian Constitution: “An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise, both will wither and die”.

I am therefore glad that the ideals and values which Dr Rajaram Jaipuria upheld all his life have been carefully nurtured by his successors, and we have assembled here today to celebrate his Idea of “Empowering the Next Generations through Quality Education”.

Thirukkural says “The wealth of learning is alone imperishable; nothing else is true wealth”. 

Dr Rajaram Jaipuria was an industrialist and educationist at the same time. He selflessly followed a legacy of philanthropic-minded industrialists of the pre-Independence period, who used to set up educational institutions, temples and Rest Houses for pilgrims, driven by a spirit of social service, and not for business.

Following the footsteps of his late father Padma Bhushan Seth Mangturam Jaipuria, who had set up the famous Jaipuria College in Calcutta way back in 1945, Dr Rajaram Jaipuria established many educational institutions all over India, starting with the K-12 School in Kanpur in 1972 and also patronized the Char Dham Ved Nyas, imparting Vedic education in Sanskrit from ‘Prathama’ to ‘Acharya’ levels at five religious centres of India.

He combined the best of East and West, in terms of ‘values’ and ‘scientific advancements’ in the curriculum and pedagogy in all the academic institutions that he had established. I am very pleased to note that the Jaipuria Group logo carries one of my favourite quotes from Brihadaranyaka Upanishad: ”Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya” ie, “Lead us from darkness to light”.

The theme of today’s lecture has been aptly chosen by the Organizers--Education, Entrepreneurship & Ethics.

Today, we are living in the era of Industry 4.0. In this era, India has a real chance to progress faster and bridge the development gap with the most of the developed nations. We missed the first three Industrial Revolutions as we were too late to catch up with the West.

But, thanks to the new digital age and the genius of young Indians, we stand a real chance to surge ahead and take the lead, given our demographic advantage. Industry 4.0 is also called the Knowledge Economy. The language of the new economy is digital and I am quite confident that our youth will take charge of New Digital India and take the country to new heights.

Apart from Bengaluru and Hyderabad, almost every city in India is evolving into a Silicon Valley. India is already home to one third of all start ups in the World, next only to China and the USA.

We are no longer strangers to words like Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, Big Data, Cloud Computing, 3D Printing, Block chain, Machine Learning and Design Thinking. Most of the new startups are powered by these technologies. I am happy to note that you are already having the Atal Tinkering Labs in your schools.

Dear sisters and brothers, India is the fastest growing economy in the world today and we are on the path to becoming the third largest economy 10-15 years. Since 1991, at current prices in dollar terms, we are growing at over 8.7% CAGR and our per capita income is growing at 7% CAGR. Our literacy rate has improved from 52% in 1991 to 79% in 2018. The prospects look quite bright.

India has a huge population of 1.35 billion with a per capita average annual income of $1928 and average life expectancy of 69 years, but the good news is 66% of our population will be in the age group of 15 to 64 by 2020 and the working population will remain at same level or higher until 2060. The average age of Indians in 2020 will be only 29 years as compared to China and USA at 37%, Europe at 44% and Japan at 50%. This means India will remain much younger compared to the population in already developed large economies like China, Europe and USA, for next four decades.

It is believed that there would be a shortage of skilled workers globally in a rapidly ageing world. By ensuring skill development and imparting latest training in various vocations to the youth, India can cater to the global requirements of skilled workforce, apart from meeting the demand within the country.

The demographic advantage is tilted towards India now. However, the demographic advantage can turn into a demographic dividend only if we focus on skill development and continuous upgradation of Knowledge and Skills. I am sure that the National Policy on Skill Development and Entrepreneurship will address all the challenges of skilling, while the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) will help standardize and integrate the skill component of the people with the formal learning arrangement.

Students can learn from anywhere in real time now. Technology has effectively broken the barriers of distance through different mediums. We are now living in an Information and Communication Technology-driven world and imparting ICT- enabled education has become the sine qua non of the modern society. In fact, ICT revolution is triggering a paradigm shift in the education sector.

As you are aware, the platform of Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs) is revolutionizing learning and knowledge dissemination. India’s SWAYAM MOOCs platform has emerged as the World’s Largest Online Free E-Learning Platform Portal. It is designed to achieve access, equity and quality in education at all levels. Again under the SWAYAM PRABHA programme, high-quality educational programmes are being telecast through the DTH channels. Further the MHRD under its National Mission on Education through ICT (NME-ICT) has initiated the e-Pathshala. The interactive e-content covers around 70 subjects across all disciplines of social sciences, arts, fine arts, humanities, mathematics, linguistics and languages.

India faces a challenge regarding student enrolment and drop outs. Although, our Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) has improved to 25.8 per cent, it lags behind the global average of 33 percent and those of the emerging economies like Brazil (46 percent), Russia (78 percent) and China (36 percent). Mere literacy is not going to increase employability but skill-literacy shall. The Government initiatives on skill-literacy have to be supported by private institutions. I look forward to a strong participation by the Jaipuria Group in promoting skill-literacy in India.

Technology can bridge the GER gap. For example the Jaipuria Campuses can train many times its current 15000 strength by offering a helping hand to remote students in e-learning mode. A village school which has teachers and physical infrastructure up to primary level can offer education up to high school level in distant learning mode with virtual laboratories and conduct simulated experiments. Traditional craft schools up to high school level can be opened with resources naturally available in each village.

The syllabus and curriculum, and the pedagogy have to be revamped using design thinking and creativity. Rote learning has to be replaced by Action learning.

The use of ICTs has made lives of millions of Indian comfortable now in most areas of their engagement—be it agriculture, industry, business or service.

The time has now come for India to re-establish itself as a knowledge and innovation hub. For that to happen, we have to completely overhaul our higher education system to cater to the fast changing requirements of the 21st century in different sectors. Apart from remoulding the syllabi and pedagogy, the stress should be on learning-by-doing. Greater focus should be on instilling entrepreneurial spirit among the students. This calls for exposure to industrial ecosystem and our educational institutions should develop organic linkages with local industries and ensure that students undergo internships in them as part of the course. We need more and more job creators and not job seekers and our education system should revamp its curricula in accordance with this requirement.

Already India has earned the distinction of being the second largest start-up hub in the world and we need to make India the numero uno in start-ups.

Another all-important aspect is the need for an education system that lays a strong foundation for progress of the society to be grounded in an unwavering commitment to morals, ethics and values of humanism. Unfortunately, we are witnessing an all-round degeneration in ethical and moral outlook in different walks of life. Education will have to play a big role in arresting this undesirable trend. Let us recall the sagacious words of the Father of the Nation, Mahatma Gandhi, who had said: “Education which does not mould character is absolutely worthless”.

For ages, India was the Vishwa Guru. Our famous universities like Takhashila and Nalanda threw open their doors to students and scholars from other regions. In tune with our age-old ideal , “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”, we always believed in sharing knowledge with the global community.

Education is the most vital engine of development and the best gift you can ever give to the children and youth for continuous progress of civilization and prosperity of humanity.

Sisters and brothers,

All of us owe a lot to our native place. Parents and teachers who shaped our careers. We as individuals must develop the habit of dedicating some time towards the welfare of the society.

Our ancient philosophy teaches us the value of caring and sharing. It is the collective responsibility of every citizen to do his bit to bring in a positive change in the lives of people. Every individual irrespective of position, post and political views must work for the welfare of others, empowering women and the weaker sections should be accorded highest priority. Memorial lectures provide an opportunity to recollect the service done by the great individuals and draw inspiration from their lives.

We should use these lectures as platform to motivate youth and guide them in the right direction. We must encourage the youth to adhere to traditions of tolerance and respect and protect the country's pluralistic culture. India of the future should be powered by the dreams, ambitions, character and competence of young people.

We need to cultivate a culture of healthy and civilized discussion on many of the pressing problems such as class and gender inequalities, illiteracy, poverty, climate change, and the needs of the less privileged in society.

Education which is the most important component in nation building must be given utmost priority. A rethink is needed on the education system to revamp syllabus to suit to the needs of 21st century knowledge economy.

Education must teach the children aspects such as service, and volunteerism. It must make students to be sensitive to the needs and sufferings of others.

We must inculcate a sense of oneness among the children by teaching them about the diverse and rich heritage and culture of our great nation. Inspiring Stories of freedom fighters, social reformers and biographies of eminent scientists must be made part of the curriculum so that the young get motivated by reading about the lives of great men.

Dear Students,

Before I conclude, I would like to say, with Indian economy on the rise, all of you will have plenty of avenues and opportunities and you should seize them. Remember the advice of former President A P J Abdul Kalam to dream high and work with dedication to realize your dreams and build a New India, which shall be free of poverty, illiteracy, fear, corruption, hunger and discrimination

Let me congratulate the Jaipuria Group of Educational Institutions for organizing this Memorial Lecture in the name and memory of a great Industrialist, Educationist, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist and above all a great human being.

I am happy to join you all today to celebrate the gift of Dr Rajaram Jaipuria to posterity.

Dr Ajay Tripathi Associate Professor Jaipuria Institute of Management, Indirapuram, Ghaziabad

The Faculty got a wide view of their personality and also got to know about some undiscovered traits. It was a great experience for the learners as well as trainers.

The theme of the conference was based on the need and how to develop a value based education system in higher education. The chief guest for the conference was Prof. MP Poonia, Vice Chairman AICTE, and the key note speaker was Mr. Rajeev Kumar, Advisor I AICTE. The conference sessions included addresses of Directors and Deans of various institutions across the country.

Delhi has the ‘not so happy’ distinction of being one of the most polluted cities not only in India but also in the world.  So, as regular citizens going on about our lives in this bustling metropolis, can we do anything to help? Yes we can.

PLANT TREES

We can start with the simplest activity of planting trees.

Seth Anandram Jaipuria Group of Educational Institutions understands the importance of keeping the environment green and clean. We are pursuing a Green Campaign involving massive tree plantation drive across network covering Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. This initiative is a part of the Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

This green campaign can be followed by each one of us. We can start looking for places near our homes or offices for planting a few native trees and do our bit to reduce air pollution. We can also connect with like-minded people and NGOs; being a part of such initiatives can help us safeguard the Delhi environment.

OPT FOR CAR POOLING

We can bring about a substantial improvement in the air quality index in the city by opting for something as simple as carpooling. Special lanes called car pool lanes can be created for four wheelers or cars having three or more passengers.

TURN OFF ELECTRICITY

Most of the electricity in India is produced from burning fossil fuels such as coal and crude oil; the power plants where this happens are responsible for air pollution to a great extent.

We can start conserving electricity by opting for energy efficient appliances or switching off lights, air conditioners and other gadgets when not in use. This is one of the easiest techniques to reduce air pollution. It does not take much effort but the cumulative positive benefits are enormous in terms of energy saved and resources conserved.

The session was delivered by Ms. Rajasri Sridhar. She has an experience of over 21 years as a Trainer and Facilitator with Leading Telecom Groups of the country like Reliance Communication for the entire Northern Belt including J&K, Punjab, HP, Rajasthan, Haryana, and Delhi. Her expertise included, Training Material preparation for dissemination, Pre & Post Training Analysis, Certification, Data Compilations, and State wise Report publication and Knowledge Management. It was a very interactive and useful session for MBA III Semester Students.

The fire which is burning at the pouring water, is not worried about the wits have no words for the people who trying to blowing it off, forgetting they are blowing it up...

Dare to dream

Believe in it

Live it

MBA Batch 2019-21

This campaign was aimed at inspiring people against the use of plastic and to implant the message of “Say No to Plastic”. This campaign was carried out in three phases: Role play on “Say no to plastic” performed by MBA students, display of posters in and around the campus and organizing awareness campaign in residential societies of Ghaziabad.

The role play communicated the havoc created in the natural habitat because of the extensive use of plastic by the people of our society. Students participated in this drive with full enthusiasm and their posters conveyed some really significant disasters caused by plastic use in our day to day lives. The awareness campaign and reciting of anti plastic slogans conducted in residential societies of Ghaziabad received overwhelming response from the residents. The residents assured the students to avoid using plastic bags and also propagated this message by displaying the posters on their society notice boards. This drive proved to be a real eye opener for the society and helped creating awareness among many people. The entire idea of restricting the use of plastic turned into a successful event with the energy of youth channelized in the right direction.

Seth Anandram Jaipuria Group

The event started off with an address by Mr. Shishir Jaipuria, Chairman, Seth Anandram Jaipuria Group of Educational Institutions. Mrs. Manju Rana, Principal, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School, Vasundhara, Ghaziabad was felicitated for being honored with 2018 National Awards to Teachers by the Hon’ble President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovind Ji this Teachers Day.

The achievements and long service of the faculty members of the participating schools were acknowledged and the teachers commemorated at the event. The faculty members and staff in the audience got a chance to ask questions and interact with the Management in an open mike session. The event concluded with a cultural extravaganza organized by the staff of corporate office and faculty members of the participating schools.

A similar thing happened with me when I saw a Ted Talk video of a woman who belonged to a small village in her early years. She shared stories of her old days when she studied in a dark room with a small lantern. She also shared that she cleared class 10 by scoring 100 marks in mathematics and physics, and as a result, she took science stream in class 11 and in class 12 she also cleared it by scoring the highest percentage in school. She got famous through coverage in the daily newspaper because of which she became an inspiration of every person in her locality. She said that no matter how much difficult a particular task is, just face it and complete it, no matter what may be the outcome.

After that she went for higher education which was taught in English language. She also shared that she cleared her elementary studies from a Hindi medium school. So, coming from Hindi medium background and studying in English medium for higher studies was a challenge for her. When she cleared the entrance exam of the college and got an offer letter, a smile came on her face and then all the people living in her locality came to meet her parents, showered her with gifts and blessings.

She shared her journey of getting selected in a reputed company and her decision of going for civil examination which is said to be the toughest exam. Nevertheless, she cleared it.

According to me, all the above lines are inspiration for me, and one thing is common in all of them, that is, don’t give up in life. She has become an inspiration for all the students and many people who were watching this Ted Talk as this video stated all the small points of life that inspires every person.
