Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

ACTIVE AND PASSIVE VOICE
Active Voice:
When the subject of a verb performs an action the verb is said to be in the active
voice. The effect of the action may or may not fall on an object, that is, the verb may
or may not have an object.
Examples: The boy kicked the ball.
The girl cries.
In the first sentence, ‘kicked’ is the verb or the action; the ‘boy’ is the subject or the
‘doer’ who performs that action; and the ‘ball’ is the object on whom the effect of
that action is directed.
In the second sentence, ‘cries’ is the verb or the action; and the ‘girl’ is the subject or
the doer of that action. There is no object because the effect of the girl’s crying cannot
be directed at another object.
Passive Voice:
When the object of a verb appears to perform an action so that the effect of that
action appears to fall on the subject the verb is said to be in the passive voice.
Examples: The work was completed on time.
The song was sung beautifully by the singer.
A sentence in the active voice can be converted to form a sentence in the passive
voice.
Examples: A film was watched by us.
A kite was flown by me.
Rules for changing voice:
• Only sentences containing transitive verbs can be changed from the active voice
to the passive voice. A subject—that is, a ‘doer’ of the action—is required to
change a sentence from the passive to the active voice.
Examples: My mother cut the fruit.
The fruit was cut by my mother.
Here, the object ‘fruit’ is acted upon by the doer ‘mother’.
