EDITOR
Embarking on the
Journey towards
Academic
Enlightenment
he world today is moving at a pace that is
Tbound to leave youngsters stunned and
confused. This may hamper smooth
movement of their overall academic growth. Many
students today are well aware of the exposure that they
need in order to find an ideal career path. But even
with all the facilities available at their fingertips,
there’s a lot more to the world than meets the eye. To
assist the students’ transition between undergraduate
and postgraduate studies, universities are providing
them with a plethora of opportunities.
It is clearly seen today, that many jobs that were the
most sought after are now the least opted for. With the
constant advancements in technology, the struggle to
stay relatable in the world also comes into question
while seeking out a job. It is in fact rightly quoted –
There is nothing permanent except change. –
Heraclitus.
This has since led to the development of more intricate
and comprehensive training programs which will help
the students gain these skills. The top priority is given
to soft skills training, coaching in various softwares,
personality training as well as courses in multiple
languages spoken throughout the world. Languages in
fact are mandatory as many professions may require
the person to travel to different parts of the world. That
said, it is known that there is a difference between
being well educated and well aware and being aware is
the way towards having an ideal career. Hence,
implementing all of these skills in the academic
curriculum is of extreme importance and will ensure
that the youngsters of today are well prepared for the
journey ahead.

EDUCATION
With technology making rapid inroads into the
world wide education space, today’s youth
are as much in reverence of technological
boon as they are ardently interested in leveraging
technology to augment their learning experience. Speed,
accuracy and connectivity gifted with the unique feature
of sharability, are the primary reasons why future
education is largely depending on technological
epidemic. Though most of the machine learning tools are
based of cognitive functions between artificial
intelligence and human intelligence, given a chance, no
human would prefer to say no to the technological grey
of today’s knowledge bank. Complexity is nothing but
compounded simplicity. The more complex it is, the
better it is a tool for simplicity.
The future of education, hence, just can’t be thought of
without technology being at the forefront.
Let us examine why tomorrow’s education can’t just
exist without technology – Digital Literacy : Much
before a child learns the basics of alphabets and
phonetics, he becomes literate on digital platforms.
Communication begins with understanding signs and
signals and signs and signals make the foundation for
any language. Thus, the journey of 0 and 1 in the child’s
life begins so early that nobody realizes when he
becomes bondman to machines. When the child enters
into his early schooling days, he looks around for
familiar impressions of signs that he is used to – the
early teaching aids used for kids are all machine oriented
these days. This is digital literacy that outpaces academic
literacy in the student’s career.
Supremacy of Visual Data : Visual data leaves darker
impression in child’s brain. Compared to what was in
practice some ten years ago in terms of class room
delivery, has seen paradigm shift now. No classroom
these days has only chalk and board, digital boards
empowered with interactivity has become must for all
schools and universities now. Enhanced contents doubled
with multidimensional illustrations and powered with
audio video tools have been able to successfully make
place among the youth.
Innovative Learning Models : Teaching has been
replaced by learning. And that is the biggest truth of the
day. Time has come of open source learning resources.

Expert's Outlook
20. Inter dependability of various domains and inter alia relationship among them has been amplified by way
of never stopping innovations in learning. There is no one way or standard way for explaining concepts
of science or language or human dynamics. Innovations happen every time we close our eyes with deep
thoughts.
Learning in Global Classrooms : Cloud is the only safe place to store data and to fetch from, now a
days. Password is perhaps the best ever invention of mankind. Teaching-Learning modules are totally
interactive now and realms of knowledge are ever increasing with expanse of data base every day. And
there is no limit to it. A day will come when students will mark their attendance only digitally as their
entire education system will become cloud based.
Artificial Intelligence : Given that AI is based on a complex programme built to mimic the cognitive
functions between two human brains, it comes handy around the problem solving premises of a learning
structure. AI is spreading its tentacles rapidly and is entering into redefining growth and expanse of
human civilization at a galloping speed. From a simple phone to ocean bed sensors- everything is AI
based. AI, perhaps, will be defining everything in future education when it will come to easing up
complex concepts of science and mathematics and societal issues through personalized learning
algorithms.
Social Media to Social Lessons : Education is a community munificence practiced with cultural
differences. With increasing role of social media straight from the school days of a child, future
education is going to be influenced a lot by the vices and virtues of the varieties and oddities of social
media graphics in human minds. The boom of internet and 4Gs and 5Gs, connectivity with any part of
the globe and sharing of info with anyone known or unknown, has become just a blink ! This, of course,
calls for technology to be at the forefront of education in future.
Careers of the Future : With the day to day increasing advent of technology and its ever growing
importance in human life, majority of the career options of the future are bound to be technology
oriented, technology will always have an extra edge over any other factor, be it agriculture, science,
politics, media or defense. Technology will create itself further with human interventions to produce only
a better generation of technology itself.
Summarily speaking, with the growth of mankind, digital options too are increasing in leaps and bounds.
The Cloud and the Internet are to be the only king and the Queen ruling the world in future. Education
will become so much personalized and optionally scalable with varied aptitude of learners in future, that
we will scarcely require any curriculum to follow. Teachers will become facilitators as students in most
of the classes would be learning without being taught – virtual reality powered by artificial intelligence
will become the only reality of life...of education…of learning…of teaching !

25. “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” – Sir Benjamin Franklin
Taking life’s decisions is hard, especially when it involves choosing a career path that will stay with
the person for the rest of their lives. When choosing it, one needs to be extremely careful in order to
ensure that the right decisions are taken. When the future is in the balance it's always wiser to think
twice before coming to a conclusion. Youngsters today have too many options on hand which can be
confusing for them. A lot of research needs to go into the making of one’s career which will shape them into
better individuals. And finding ones passion can help in unlocking a dream job opportunity which can truly
transform their lives.
Finding the Path of Interest
Post-Graduation is a stage where the students are capable of making their own decisions in a wiser manner.
Having had an experience with their under graduate degree, they’re able to frame their path accordingly.
But a lot of them tend to get entrapped into a state of confusion where they may want to pursue a course
that's different from the one before. When choosing a post – graduate course it needs to be done keeping a
particular career or stream in mind. One needs to be completely sure of how it will help them in terms of
knowledge as well as how much the person is interested in it. If one has consistently been pursuing
something, it’s wise to keep doing so as it maybe a passion rather than a compulsion.
Future Employability Concerns
With the innumerable new courses coming up, it isn’t necessary for the youngsters to be puzzled about
which one to pick. One needs to maintain an awareness of which career options are gaining momentum in
the industry. This will assist them towards understanding whether the choice they’ve thought of making is
beneficial enough or whether they need to shift their focus into some other streams. In certain workplaces,
the technologies keep changing according to the global scenarios. And by the time students graduate, the
technology that they’ve learnt and the ones being used in the various companies are completely different. A
post-graduation degree then, in required field will help enhance one’s knowledge while increasing their

26. chances at finding employment in reputed companies. This is very important especially for the long run as a career
should be able to last longer and provide an immersive knowledge experience.
Finding a Comfort Zone – At Home or Away
Post – Graduation is a phase where the students are mostly sensible enough to take their own decisions and are
capable of living by themselves. This is why many of them tend to decide to move out of their homes and join
universities in different cities and countries. This also helps in giving them the necessary exposure of the external
world. One can also choose this option in case they seek out better opportunities and the world today requires every
variety of experience. But there are a few who prefer to find a better institute which lies well within the comfort zone
which is also a valid reason. This is due to convenience reasons as well as a way to save up on the economic front.
In Search of a Foolproof Institute
In order to progress towards a better future, a person needs to be aware of the kind of university he would want to be
a part of. One needs to make sure that the university is providing ample facilities that will encourage their mental as
well as academic growth. The individual needs to make sure that the stay facilities are convenient enough to ensure
some comfort after the long and grueling hours of studying. University life can also get pretty boring especially if
the person stays on a campus with no leisure time amenities such as a gym, sports arena or any other sort of
recreational center. This is also essential in order to keep the mental stability of the person intact. Apart from this, the
classrooms also need to maintain their standards in order to facilitate learning in a better manner. Proper desks and
benches are a necessity, as students need to endure multiple hours in the classrooms and these are just the basics that
need to be kept in mind. When the students explore universities they should make sure to compulsorily check the
classrooms for these facilities.
Probing Through the Curriculum
The most important part of a student’s life is knowing that the course they’ve chosen is taught in a proper manner
and will help supplement their knowledge. Some institutions add unnecessary subjects into their courses which will
only multiply the pressure on the students. One needs to watch out for these as they will just be a pile on in the
disguise of an add-on subject. It usually takes away the focus from the core subjects and may cause a deviation in
their career path. It can also lead to confusion over which subject is to be given the higher priority.
The Monetary Aspect
When people seek admissions into universities they look at the ones that fit their monetary limitations. A majority of
the students who belong to middle class families look out for institutes that will at least provide a decent number of
facilities to them at an affordable cost. In a lot of cases, students try to manage all their finances on their own and a
university with a higher cost can make it a burdensome task. A university that provides financial aid of some sort to
its students can be an ideal choice for youngsters. This will not only help students save money but will help them
stay focused on their academics rather than worrying about repaying a huge loan.
Valuing One’s Ingenuity
Lastly, the students applying should know the value of their skills and should have their course requirements sorted.
A lot of youngsters come under the pressure of choosing subjects that are popular among the peer group. Though it
may seem like a good choice in the moment, it may not help in the long run. It’s indeed essential to pick a course
that one is truly and genuinely interested in as it matters to the person’s career. A lot of youngsters also pick courses
for experimentation or trial and error purposes. One needs to keep in mind the long run before they come to any
conclusion and decide accordingly such that their skills shine through in university.

30. Recently there has been an increase in the usage of
technology even in high-touch recruiting models.
Technology usage has enabled a staffing team to capture the
candidate profile in a number of ways: through chatbot
conversations, by checking person’s online profile, or
through video interviews. What is important is to store and
reuse this useful information in future in a quick and easy
way. This can be achieved through smart usage of
technology in recruitment.
Let us see how we can use technology to enhance talent
acquisition experience:
Robust database
You would agree that direct sourcing is a huge threat and
staffing firms must always have a better candidate database
than their customers. Candidate data quality and
completeness of information are of paramount importance.
This helps staffing firms to fill positions faster directly from
the database.
An automated process to update critical data elements such
as work history, contact information etc adds immense
value to the direct recruiting process. Staffing firms are
increasingly investing in technologically to create and
update superior database to confidently engage niche talent
and provide better candidates to client organisations.
Talent relationship management (TRM) tools
TRM tools give you visibility into newer aspects of
candidates that are not available in their resume or cannot
be revealed during an interview. Things like whether they
viewed a job posting or started but didn’t finish an online
application etc can be obtained through TRM tools. These
may look trivial information but it comes in very handy to
convert interested job seekers into candidates.
Video based interview tools
Remote work and telecommuting have become more
commonplace these days in the staffing industry where
candidates do not want to come into the branch for an
in-person interview. Video chat, video conferencing, and
video interviewing are useful tools frequently used by
recruiters.
Companies are also investing in gamification and predictive
hiring tools. These tools help to confirm candidate skills
and fit. These online assessment tools are more fun than the
traditional personal interview technique. Most of the
staffing firms also believe they are more accurate than the
traditional candidate assessment methods.
Social media recruitment
Companies believe that they should communicate with
candidates based on the candidate's preferred
communication method. These days the variety of
communication methods used by the millennials is mind-
bending: smart phone, voicemail, email, text, instant
messaging, LinkedIn direct message, Facebook Messenger,
Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram and many others. The social
recruiting platforms must be integrated with the recruiter's
staffing software so he can manage all communications in
an integrated manner. It looks like the trend of social
recruiting will grow even further in future, making it
imperative for staffing professionals to capitalize on this
trend to the best of their abilities.
Applying AI and machine learning in recruitment
No conversation on technology would be complete without
addressing the role of artificial intelligence (AI) and
machine learning. These technologies are poised to
immensely benefit staffing firms to improve the talent
experience and increase recruiter efficiency. These
technologies will improve candidate search results and
match accuracy that will enable staffing firms to find a
better fit. The new gen technologies will also offload work
from the recruiting firm such as conducting the initial
screening and establishing an interview time.
Mobile recruitment
Smart phones are increasingly used for searching the web.
This makes it imperative for staffing professionals to use
mobile devices to stay in touch with candidates. Career
websites and recruitment software will have to be build in a
way that they are mobile compatible.
While the future of recruiting looks full of usage of new
gen technologies, it is important to stress on the fact that a
winning talent acquisition strategy will have to be the one
which is balanced. Personalised interactions and learnings
will have to be blended well with digital technology in
order to fulfil different recruitment objectives. Machine
interaction is transactional. Personal interaction can be
transformational. Responsible organisations and smart
recruiters will have to adopt a blended approach to win the
war for talent.

35. The educative world today has achieved immense levels of advancements which have helped in enhancing the
quality of education imparted on students. Technology for example has made things easier by allowing students
the convenience of utilizing the internet and other facilities. This way every person is able to excel in their own
manner at academics and gain extra information as well in any topic they desire. Yet, this has in some ways reduced the
amount of team work that is necessary to facilitate essential communication skills among the classmates. Hence it is of
utmost importance that educators introduce the concept of collaborative learning from the initial stages of schooling to
the students.
This educational approach towards learning as well as teaching is a process where students work together on a common
topic in groups. It can be to solve a problem, complete a particular task assigned to them or think of new and innovative
ideas for projects.
Glimpse into a Diverse Methodology
Present day youngsters aren’t as exposed to direct communication as their older counterparts. In order to incorporate
this method of learning, teachers need to prepare the students well in advance. This is necessary as the mind needs to
gradually be molded in that particular direction and some students may find it different and unusual to grasp. It’s ideal
for the class to last 50 minutes to initiate the conversations and help the students become familiar with the topic of
discussion as well. Encouraging dialogue in the classrooms can give rise to meaningful interactions which can act as an
“Collaboration is like carbonation for fresh ideas. Working together bubbles up ideas you would not
have come up with solo, which gets you further faster.”

36. initiator of new and creative ideas as well. When students are taught to sustain in a group while taking
independent decisions as well, they also learn to become a part of a community which ensures
assistance to anyone that may require it.
There are several components that are involved in the process such as negotiation between the group,
sharing common thoughts and ideologies while also verbalizing them and turning them into a positive
output. This will additionally stimulate and lead to elaboration of further conceptual knowledge.
Execution of the Methodology
It is very important that as an educator one needs to keep their expectations clear. This helps the
students’ gain an idea of how much effort needs to be put in for a particular topic. It’s always a good
idea to lend the students a helping hand with regard to hint questions or giving them an idea of the
formatting. This makes communicating easier for them while also bringing forth seamless discussions
among the classmates. It will also help them in meeting their individual learning goals as well. It may
initially seem like a challenge that the teachers will need to get through while trying to create new and
innovative collaboration activities.
When the groups are assigned that isn’t where the task is completed, in fact the teacher will have to
ensure that there is a healthy conversation taking place. Usually some students may seem hesitant to
place their thoughts in front of the entire group, but with a little encouragement and support they open
up and this is exactly when they can find their voice.
The quality that is extremely essential that is the ability to research also receives a push as everyone
working together will ensure exchange of vital information. This also increases the knowledge bank of
the group as a whole. While conversing with each other, the students will definitely get familiar with
each other which is an added benefit but it’s still necessary for them to be familiar with other
classmates as well. Hence, sometimes exchanging their groups can help them communicate with more
people in a better manner.
Perquisites of Coordinated Learning
When the students learn to bring in coordination into their learning journey, they find things getting
easier to deal with. This process helps in enhancing the achievement of the students as everyone is
earning credit for their efforts. This in turn leads to more positivity among themselves which is
excellent to gain a wide circle of friends or acquaintances. Communication is an extremely important
element in collaborative learning and it builds the quality in every student. The students also start
having a task centric approach as they do not need to worry about how they will be able to extract
information. The communication skills developed during an academic tenure will always help the
youngsters in their future endeavors.
The students also show better attitudes towards their lecturers as they’re able to understand what the
lecturers say and teach. Additionally, the quality of coordinated learning will ensure that when the
students step into their respective workplaces, they’re ready to take charge of the tasks given to them
and be better employees.

38. Education means a form of learning in which
knowledge, skills and habits are transferred from
one generation to the next generation. The
education of the person starts when he is born. As there are
three levels of education primary, secondary and tertiary,
each level equally plays a vital role in the development of
the society. Education gives people the skills they need to
help themselves out of poverty or in other words into
prosperity. It teaches us how one can live his life better,
relationships and manner of living in a society then in
country and in world at global level.
The societies are known by their leaders; if they are well
educated they can implement the systems in an efficient
manner and easily perform their duties under the rules and
equality with every person. An uneducated leader cannot
give justice to everyone and thus have an adverse effect on
the development of the society. Education finds its
application in various fields like Agriculture, Medical,
Technology and so on which provides juncture to exhibit
their skill sets. The societies who knows the importance of
education strives hard to acquire it. Hence, the education
plays a huge role in developing a society; it can be also
called as “the foundation and backbone of society”.
In general all levels of education are important but the most
important one is tertiary level which includes colleges,
Universities and the higher education. It concedes strength
to the society. Universities provide the professional training
for high level jobs, as well as the education is necessary for
development of personality. The role of Universities is very
important to all sectors from social as well as legal point of
view. It can help in providing with the new knowledge and
skills needed to meet the challenges of sustainable
development in a community, in raising public awareness,
responsible behavior.
Universities are regarded as key institutions in the processes
of social change and development. Another role that
Universities may play is in the building of new institutions
of civil society, in developing new cultural values, and in
training and socializing people of new social era. In the last
two decades, higher education from the Universities
worldwide has moved from the periphery to the center of
governmental agendas. They are now seen as crucial
national assets in addressing many policy priorities, and as:
sources of new knowledge and innovative thinking,
providers of skilled personnel and credible credentials,
contributors to innovations, attractors of International talent
and business investments, agents of social justice and
mobility, contributors to social and cultural vitality and
determinants of health and well-being.
Universities deals with the universality of the knowledge,
they are concerned with human being in all their
manifestations- biological, mental, emotional, objective and
subjective-and their social, cultural and economic
organizations and interaction with each other, they are
concerned with the physical world within which human
beings find themselves and the physical world we have
created for ourselves. These things are common to the
whole University endeavor whatever the discipline. They
are the foundation upon which the University enterprise
rests and upon which its significance for society is built. It
is considered as the function of University is to provide
direct in-out benefits for society’s economic prosperity.
The well-being of society depends on the quality education
and to make its “backbone” strong Universities are source
of strength.

ndia, one of the fastest developing country is struggling to balance
Iits extraordinary growth with sustainable waste management.
Waste, to most people, is just that unneeded junk that gets thrown
to the curb. The advancement in technology has changed the
appearance of the world in the last few decades. Technology has created
many industries, producing the liquid and solid wastes that adversely
affect the environment. Every year, improper disposal of garbage
contributes to devastating epidemics of mosquito-borne malaria,
dengue, yellow fever and other potentially fatal diseases. Sometimes
deadly virus, spread by rodent urine or feces, have been linked to poor
sanitation facilities.

42. With rapid urbanization, the country is facing a massive
waste management challenge. Over 378 million urban
people generate 60 million tonnes of municipal solid waste
per annum. Only 43 million tonnes (MT) of the waste is
collected, 11.8 MT is treated and 31 MT is dumped in
landfill sites. Solid Waste Management (SWM) is one
among the basic essential services provided by municipal
authorities in the country to keep the urban city clean.
However, almost all of them deposit solid waste at a dump
yard within or outside the city haphazardly.
A Success Story of Biogas to Power Project Set up in
Pune by the Maharashtra Government
Recently, Pune Govt. has taken a remarkable step in
developing segregated municipal solid waste bio-methane
projects those serves not only in generating power, but also
help in the organizing and disposal of waste in the city.
It is a known fact that municipal solid waste (MSW)
generation in Pune is among the highest in Indian cities
with an average of 350-450 gms (with 40% organic matter)
of waste generated per capita per day. What’s interesting is
that the organic and biodegradable portion of the solid
waste is 70 percent which is a significant consideration in
the concept of solid waste management. The basic idea
behind setting up a bio-methanation plant was to treat the
organic waste in a decentralized manner, at its source, in the
most environmentally efficient way. This helps the PMC
save on transportation costs of such wastes to the landfill
site which is 22 km away from the model colony area.
Opening Opportunities for Social Entrepreneurs in
India
Waste management is a huge problem but it is also a large
opportunity in India. According to a report by market
research Company, India waste management market will be
a great opening for the entrepreneur. Recently, Clean and
Green India conference that took place in Delhi highlighted
the opportunities for social enterprises in the Clean and
Green India movement with a specific focus on water, waste
management, Infrastructure, etc.
Green Infrastructure
Green infrastructure is vital in providing and connecting life
support systems for environments. It includes parks and
reserves, gardens, waterways, streets and transport
corridors, pathways and greenways, squares and roof
gardens and living walls, just to name a few. This provides
huge opportunities for the young entrepreneurs in the
market to meet India’s green infrastructure needs and
beyond.
Waste Management
In a country like India, liquid and solid waste management
are undoubtedly the cornerstone for a clean and green India.
It is clearly an area of focus. On the ground, various
solutions, best practices, and business models have
emerged. In some areas, we see some cases of dramatic
turnarounds. In many other cases the situation is only
worsening owing to delays and at best inaction. Progress is
visible in the space of solid waste management. Any waste
management is still largely left to the traditional approach
that either doesn’t work or are fraught with gaps in
implementation.
The current solutions are infrastructure based, require large
investments and are always operating in a catch-up mode.
The entrepreneur can tap into this unexploited space with
innovate ideas and can churn out great profits from this
practically untouched sector of the industry.
Waste management rules in India are based on the
principles of “precaution” “sustainable development”, and
“polluter pays”. These laws force municipalities to act in an
environmentally responsible manner—restoring balance if
their actions disrupt it. The increase in a waste generation
as a by-product of economic development has led to various
subordinate legislation for regulating the manner of
disposal and dealing with generated waste are made under
the umbrella law of Environment Protection Act, 1986
(EPA). Specific forms of waste are the subject matter of
separate rules and require separate compliances, mostly in
the nature of authorizations, maintenance of records and
adequate disposal mechanisms.
The best mean for efficient waste management is to ensure
segregation of waste at source and to ensure that the waste
goes through different streams of recycling and resource
recovery. Then reduced final residue is deposited
scientifically in sanitary landfills. A major limitation of this
method is the costly transportation of MSW to far away
landfill sites. However, to solve the problem finding the cost
of the problem is in priority.
