Every one is basically a child

Dear all,
I wish you and all the children a happy and prosperous year 2011. May we all work for the betterment of every human being and look after wonderful gift of God in the form of children.
Let me share with you  my personal experience of the last week. A group of about 33 teachers went to visit a few places like Goa and Mumbai.The idea was to get together and understand each other in a better way because when you you are at your  work  place, profession becomes more important which at times acts as barrier  to personal life. After a day only we all were so comfortable with each other which cannot be described in words but can be felt only.The  important thing I want to share with you  is that most of the times,we all were behaving like children.This made me to realise that within a grown person also there lives a child who is not allowed to come out due to compulsive reasons. We do enjoy when we work in the capacity of an adult but the most enjoyment is when we are a child. I have been writing that let us not spoil the child hood of our children to make them adult before time.They will enjoy their life when grown up if allowed the proper childhood.
I would advise all concerned to create an environment which allows children to grow naturally and exploit their latent talent. Let new year be taken as a programme to save childrens` childhood.
Thank you

    Well sir we really appreciate you for writing on this untalked and such an important topic.
    As adults we are taught to behave in a typical manner so the child inside us doesnt come out . we always fear of being laughed upon but when given a chance this child inside us peeps out and breaks free all compulsions imposed on it. And then we enjoy as we use to ...
    We would be happy sir if you write more on this topic giving parents and teachers an insight as to how to let children grow up naturally.

New Year - Promises And Actions

One more year has gone by and we have entered in a year which takes us closer to the end of the first quarter of the century. There have been discussions and talks of the 21 st century and the skills to face the challenges paused by the changes which are so fast-paced that it is becoming increasingly difficult for the human race to adapt. To do so education has to be given all required focus in the age of AI and ML. The children are to be made aware of the possible advantages and disadvantages of AI and so much dependency on the tools should be avoided because technology might make the brain a bit lethargic. We come across many articles and reports in the newspapers and magazines disturbing the social fabric (for example deepfake and voice-over issues) but seeing the impact of the same in day-to-day life is not that visible. I have written before and repeat the same that the real objective of education is preparing the masses for future challenges which are not only triggered by natu

NCF & NCrF- Innovative Approach

  It has been almost four years since the time NEP 2020 was launched by the honourable Prime Minister of India. Then onwards we have travelled a long way in terms of implementation of the same because the policy is made in such a manner that it has a balanced mix of the ancient Indian education system and modern-day education as desired due to the advancement of technology and different needs of the changing time. Any new policy requires a lot of diligence while being implemented and so is the case with this one as well. The focus on the foundational stage of skill development and entrepreneurship abilities and then innovation in all areas of life not only for the sake of an individual but also the global issues to be addressed is the very spirit of “Vasudhavaa Kutumbakam”. The most important is relevant emphasis on the Indian languages and the culture. I would avoid repeating the explanation as we all have gone through the same umpteen number of times in the last few years and would s

Importance Of Feedback

  If there is a perfect tool for growth, to motivate and improve,  effective and actionable feedback is the way to go. Recently I read a book titled, `Delivering Effective Feedback’ by Harvard Business Review Press’ a compilation of research papers and articles by different authors. Though the book I mentioned is for organizations and institutions, especially business organizations, I found it suitable for educational institutions as well. Not only that, even the approach discussed is applicable in every walk of life, be it family or social groups. Feedback can be understood as the process of letting somebody know the progress and the way forward, meaning thereby, to help an individual or a team by providing your observations. Though this seems to be simple but is a difficult and delicate task. Every organization has a system of annual appraisal wherein the head of the team comments on the performance of the team members. Feedback can be ongoing and formal. Ongoing feedback is when you
