University Institute of Applied Management Sciences, Panjab University Chandigarh organised a webinar on “नयी शिक्षानीति के संदर्भ में शिक्षा में भारतीयता”(Nayi Sikhshaniti Ke Sandarb Mein Sikhsha Mein Bhartiyata) .The distinguished speaker of the webinar was Prof. Mohan Lal Chhipa, Ex-Vice-Chancellor, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Hindi University, Bhopal. Prof. Upasna Joshi Sethi, Director UIAMS extended formal welcome to the speaker and participants. She highlighted that NEP 2020 is promoting a multidisciplinary approach and is the comprehensive framework for elementary to higher education.
Multi entry and exit plan is student friendly said Prof. VR Sinha, Dean Research in his presidential address. Further he highlighted that with the promotion of multi-discipline and research, students will have learning opportunities in diverse fields and this will lead to growth of higher education institutions into a holistic organization. Indian perspective of education is to make an integral individual as opposite to the individualist perspective of the West, said Prof. Mohan LalChhipa in his key address. Further he said it is important to see how the education system is contributing to the making of humans and humanity. NEP 2020 is going to foster and develop the sense of entrepreneurship. Youth will become job providers rather than job seekers. We need to understand and adopt the feeling of self-respect. Because of our attraction towards the westernised education system, we are ignorant of the fact that all major concepts emerged from our own Indian literature including Vedas, Shashtras etc. We as teachers and students can recall the “father of concepts of our respective subjects” from the west. But we cannot recall which Indian initiated that particular concept. He advised teachers and students to see the contribution of Indians in the field of engineering, medical education, commerce, management, art and other domains. He suggested that like many NGOs that are working in the domain of Indian education, our universities should also establish Indian Education Research Cell/ Institution in order to promote research in Indian literature. Further every university and department should prepare a note/paper on contribution of Indians in their respective domains and determine who all Indians are initiators of the concepts that we have today. This can be started with at least giving responsibility to one faculty member to conduct research on Indian contributors in his/her respective subject. The students who have researched on Indian system should be asked questions like What Next so as to take their research further. University departments may also start preparing curriculum dedicated to Indian education or atleast one unit can be developed so as to make students aware of our own healthy literature.
Dr. Monika Aggarwal, Associate Professor, UIAMS proposed vote of thanks.

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.
