YIN holds session on edu, ragging, drug addiction
Pune: “The Government of India and Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU) have many initiatives for students, which also includes skill development for students. But there is a lack of implementation. I urge Young Inspirators Network (YIN) to execute projects in such a way that these initiatives are utilised by the students,” said Sanjaykumar Dalvi, Director of Board of Students Welfare, SPPU.
He was addressing the audience as the chief guest at a debate session organised by YIN on various subjects related to college education, ragging and drug addiction.
Around 70 principals from various colleges across the city were present at the event and discussed various problems faced by students and shared their ideas and solutions.
YIN Head Tejas Gujarati formally introduced the initiatives by YIN and Executive Editor of Sakal Nandakumar Dalvi hosted the debate and urged all the delegates to present their views about the prevailing issues faced by the students at the college level.
While discussing the problems of the students, who come to the city to seek education, Principal of SP College Dilip Seth said, “While it is important that we provide the students with all the materialistic facilities, it is also important to provide counselling and value education to them.”
Harish Tiwari of Pimpri-Chinchwad College of Engineering insisted that there is a necessity to amend the conventional ways of teaching and bring new forms, which will comply to the needs of current generation.
Sanjay Chordiya, Chairman of Suryadatta Group of Institutes, also shared his insights and said, “The situation before the emergence of digital media was different and education culture should also change accordingly. We cannot be rigid with our methods, which were practised in our times. Instead, we should provide students with opportunities, which will bring out their hidden talents.”
The programme concluded with tree plantation done by all the principals under the initiative of the government on the occasion of World Environment Day. The delegates were also gifted saplings, which would be planted in their respective college campuses.
