Ludhiana: 1st May 2020: (Kartika Singh//Education Screen)

PG Dept of Hindi & Research Centre, SCD Government College Ludhiana organised a webinar to take feedback from the faculty on "Higher Education: Challenges and Road Map during Covid-19". With the outbreak of the pandemic, direct contact classes had been suspended as per the order of PU, Chd since 25.3.2020. However, the faculty members of SCD Government College, Ludhiana, continued teaching through the various online methods and have almost completed the syllabus.

The Zoom meeting was presided over by the Principal, Dr. Dharam Singh Sandhu who invited the teachers to share their experiences.  He also appreciated the initiative of Dr. Saurabh Kumar from the Hindi department for organizing this meeting.

As many as 60 teachers connected and discussed their first-hand experience of conducting classes via Zoom, Google Classroom, WhatsApp chat, and calls. They brought to the fore the advantages and difficulties faced.

Prof. (Dr.) Ashwani Bhalla laid emphasis on devising ways through which students could be evaluated and assessed. In the present state of uncertainty, we cannot just wait while the situation returns to normalcy. We should keep our work ready to meet and respond to any policy that the Government or the University comes up with. He discussed the conduct of examinations for final year students  through 2 modes-online and through internal assessment by the teacher. Since the teacher knows the caliber of the student, she / he is the best judge of the student. The online method is not feasible as a large number of our students are either from rural areas or they belong to financially weaker sections of society . As such they do not have good access to strong internet connectivity.

Dr. Tanvir Sachdev from the department of English advised about  preparing and delivering lectures through You Tube. She stressed upon the need to approach the syllabus in a systematic way, adapting ourselves to the need of the time.

Prof. Deepak Chopra from the department of Physics pointed  out difficulties regarding  practical subjects which can only be taught in a laboratory. He generously appreciated those teachers of the college who have been on pandemic duty since 26.3.2020.

Prof. Reetinder Joshi suggested considering  the mid term examination that was conducted in mid March for evaluating the students. 

Other teachers also gave valuable inputs on how to improve interaction with the students.

A turban tying workshop organised by an old student

Ludhiana: 10 January 2020: (Kartika Singh//Education Screen)::

Day 4 of the ongoing NSS Camp started with a Yoga class which was attended by all the volunteers. A session on basic dining etiquette and table manners was held by the volunteers. A  short film on the culture of Tamil Nadu was also screened for the volunteers. A turban tying workshop was also organised by an old student. Dr. Harblas Heera conducted a group activity with the students. It was followed by a lecture by Dr. Ravi Inder Singh. Dr. Ravi Inder was introduced by the  Principal Dr. Dharam Singh Sandhu who informed the students that he is the Director of Panjab University Regional Centre and Resident Coordinator who has written 2 books and 20 research papers in various national and international journals. Dr. Ravi Inder talked about the role of an individual in nation building. He stressed on the fact that the youth are the game changers. He raised another question on different parameters used to guage the development of the nation. Human development index, ease of business and internal peace were discussed. He said," We were shreshth, we have deteriorated. You! The youth can only make or break this nation." He made a startling connection between success and social service. He defined success by way of saint Kabir ji's doha

"Jab hum aye jagat mei, Jag Hansa; hum roye;

Aisi krni kar chlo, hum hanse; Jag roye." 

This is not possible without taking care of  society. If you are self centered, you can never taste this kind of success. You may become a billionaire but you may not be truly successful. Reward from economic activities may take you to higher levels but social work has much more strength and the reward and recognition from society is much more. Prof. Harmeet thanked Dr. Ravi Inder for motivating the students and a token of appreciation was presented to the guest. NSS Incharge Prof Sumeet Brar, Prof Paramjit Chander, Prof Arun Kumar and Prof. Vishal were also present and supervising the volunteers.
