PU VC said that in the present times when everyone is preparing oneself and nation to respond to the direct health impacts of the COVID-19 coronavirus, those of us who work on reducing violence and preventing conflict are also feeling the heat. The coronavirus pandemic is already producing knock-on effects for safety at the individual level, the community level, as well as on international levels. Recognizing and naming the risks we face is imperative, as is highlighting the positive steps being taken to reinforce peaceful resilience, to remind ourselves of our common humanity, and to re-invest in the international systems of cooperation that are more critical now than at any time in the past decade. It has been observed that on different platforms especially at six grey areas we should be prioritizing from a conflict and violence perspective, followed by a roadmap to help us chart a pathway forward:
1. Increases in domestic and intimate partner violence
2. An increase in firearms deaths
3. Increased violence resulting from lack of trust
4. We will see an increase in human rights abuses
5. Fear will be used to incite violence
6. Extreme number of displaced persons will suffer even more
In his address, Professor Nawal Kishore Ambasht who started the pioneering work on ‘Tribal Education’ in the early 1966 while narrating that he is fortunate enough to see Gandhi ji in person while he was moving for a peace mission in Noakhali and had taken his blessings, which changed his life. He also redefined the concept of ‘Satyagraha’ and its difference with the ‘Passive -Resistance’. Satyagraha can be used for the mass mobilization as well as the resolving the conflicts of many issues. He also asked the teachers to reintroduce the concept of Gandhian philosophy via the curriculum as the concept of Values, Life and Thought, attitude of mind, living together concept and especially of Peace when incorporated in the system then the results will be more visible in terms of Gandhian ideology and the same is added via the New Education Policy of 2020.
In his special lecture, Prof. Suresh Misra, Professor of Public Administration & Chair Professor & Coordinator Centre for Consumer Studies and Project Director, NCH & SCHKRMP, Indian Institute of Public Administration, New Delhi, while speaking on “Sustainable Lifestyle in a Pandemic World: A Gandhian Approach”, stressed COVID-19 is the greatest humanitarian challenge to the world since World War II and it has been observed that this disease is created and spread by the rich but the poor are the most affected one. And it has also changed the Attitude and behavior towards the purchasing and consumption pattern of the masses throughout the world. Greed has replaced need concept. He discussed how COVID-19 pandemic is triggering for taking serious action and making policies towards sustainable development which is a combination of both sustainable lifestyle and sustainable consumerism. He said that the initiative for this must start with the students who can draw an action plan for sustainable development and who can spread the message of sustainability. Besides the mantra for this lies in 5Rs – Refuse, Reuse, Reduce, Recycle and Rethink. He suggested an action plan for sustainable living with a focus on changing attitudes, saving water, fuel, electrical energy, food and use of chemicals. He concluded by saying that now is the time to reverse the adverse effects of consumerism and that Gandhi is more relevant today than it was in the past as Gandhi has very rightly said that “The World has enough for everyone’s needs but not for everyone’s greed.” And the Sustainable Development has to be with Sustainable Production and Sustainable Consumption which is reflected via the UNDP Sustainable Development Goals.

The nature of tourists was holidaying, participation and business. But all these aspects are now seriously affected by the havoc created by COVID19. “As a large number of people are working from home only, I have experienced that due to more time spent on social media, people have started sharing more about their local heritage resources. In one way or another they have now started to understand the importance of the local heritage and rural tourism” added Prof. Rajkumar
Sh. Jeevan Lal Verma was the lead speaker of the webinar, where he shared his onsite experiences of promoting Rural Tourism at Kanda Village in Uttarakhand. “I got the idea of volunteer tourism while I was attending a workshop in 1988, where few foreign tourists were looking for volunteer services”. Mr. Verma every year invites various volunteers to the Kanda and nearby villages in Uttarakhand to stay and work for the society. “Generally tourists want to interact with local people and stay with them. We have to just provide some basic facilities to them. This can act as additional income for the rural population. In this way tourism can enrich lives of local people”
Another speaker Mr.Ankit Sood, Eco Tourism planner emphasized on the role and importance of rural tourism and how it stood by the pandemic in the recent past.

A webinar on ‘National Education Policy 2020: Introducing coding at young age’ was organized by the Department of Computer Science and Applications, Panjab University and Vidya Bharti today.
The webinar started with the welcome address by Dr. Rohini Sharma, Chairperson where she discussed that Coding is a basic literacy in this digital age and this idea of introducing coding at young age can be achieved by joint efforts of all the stakeholders.
PU Vice-Chancellor Prof. Raj Kumar, in his address stressed upon the collaborative efforts of various stakeholders to implement the ideas proposed in NEP. He added that the reforms will open many doors of opportunities not only for students but also for the country as a whole to become a global knowledge superpower. It will change the perception of the Indian education system from the school level onwards by allowing every student to pursue their interests and excel in the field they desire.
PU VC opined that Introducing coding and increasing exposure to technology at a young age will go a long way in helping future generations lead the way to a new world of innovation and creativity, thus, giving children the opportunity to set their own goals and reach new heights debarred of old teaching systems to pull them down. The secret of success for a student lies in making the best use of his capability and capacity to think. Previously the student used to think through the mind of the teacher and follow their thought process. Coding helps to blossom every single unit of the child’s brain whether being logical thinking or through art integration, mechanics, or analytical thinking. It enables children to enter the world of new-age technology by giving them an arena to develop apps and games or work in the field of robotics and artificial intelligence.
Sh. Vijay Nadda, Organizing Secretary North Zone, Vidya Bharti was the chief guest who talked on the role of a good teacher in shaping the future of students, as it is the teacher whose hand the student holds in his journey to success. . He shared his thoughts on the new ‘Shiksha Neeti’ and how it marks an important step by the government to help brighten the future of the nation.
.
The keynote speaker Prof. Sanjeev Sofat from PEC, Chandigarh talked on the benefits of learning coding at a young age like development of analytical and computational thinking and problem solving skills. It will lead to algorithmic and structural thinking in kids, that is, they will get the ability to define clear steps to solve a problem and learn how problems can be divided into smaller modules for efficient solutions. Coding concepts inculcate the habit of curiosity and will push the students to ask questions.
.
Dr. Parminder Duggal, Principal Ankur School also expressed her views on the topic and Prof. Anu Gupta concluded the webinar by proposing a vote of thanks. The webinar concluded on a positive note that introducing coding in schools will bring positive change in the way kids think about problems.

Dr. SSBUICET, Panjab University, Chandigarh, in collaboration with DUIET, Assam is organizing a Two days International Online Conference on Sustainable Research Technology and Development (IOCSRT-2020) on September 24- 25,2020 under the aegis of TEQIP-III, a World Bank project offered by MHRD, GOI.
The inaugural session today included briefing about the Conference, TEQIP-III project, Dr. SSBUICET and DUIET.
The Conference was formally inaugurated by the Vice Chancellor Prof. Raj Kumar, He opined that Science plays a crucial role for sustainable development and is key to answering many of the questions facing countries across the world today –food security and water management, ocean sustainability, eradicating poverty, ensuring health, and forging new paths to inclusive, sustainable development.
Building a sustainable world requires overcoming disciplinary boundaries. Interdisciplinary cooperation, on the basis of disciplinary excellence, can contribute to developing an integrated scientific approach aimed at supporting sustainable development. It should be based on a broad understanding of science, covering the whole range of disciplines from natural sciences to engineering to social sciences and the humanities, and address the social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Panjab University recognizes that research, especially cross-disciplinary research, is the key success factor to the achievement of a sustainable future for society and communities. Research can help to make ongoing improvements in sustainability measures, products and policies. It can also help to encourage and induce societal efforts and opportunities in bringing about sustainability changes to our natural and human systems. Such research inevitably crosses the traditional divide between the sciences and engineering, humanities and law, and education, to produce new and refreshing possibilities in research and its outcomes. The divisions into traditional disciplines as well as the distinct separation of science from society have to be overcome. Also, global scientific cooperation – on a level playing field – needs to be increased.
That is why PU has created various verticals for interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary approach to societal problems. All seminars and workshops are designed by involving multiple Departments and Centres, he added.
The Vice Chancellor, BHU Varanasi Prof. Rakesh Bhatnagar in his address congratulated on the theme of the conference. In the message sent from BHU, he emphasized on the need of sustainable technologies in the present scenario.
