Ahmedabad: There will be connecvity of human beings, equipment’s all. For example, Refrigera-

tor, AC, Gas connecon everything will be connected and can be operated from far from home or

seang in oce. Dr. Subramanian Ganesan Oakland University, Rochester USA said during the two

days workshop on Embedded System and Internet of Things (IOT) at Gujarat Technological University

(GTU).

Dr. Subramanian Ganesan, is a Professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering,

Oakland University, Rochester, MI 48309, USA. He said that In the year 2020, many devices will be on

internet. Net security will be major issue in the eld of internet. Roung will be an issue. How to keep

privacy will be a big issue. There will be social issues, like some people would like to connect, some

people would don't like it. There will be legal and ethical issues too. People are using Cellophane,

wearable watch phone and now wearable cloud is also coming. So on convergence front, there will be

challenges, but aerwards it will be seled. Through use of internet and m -health many health relat-

ed problem will be solved. 4G will be helpful in online educaon. Massive open online course (MOOC)

concept is there, which aimed at unlimited parcipaon and open access via the web. In addion to

tradional course materials such as lmed lectures, readings, and problem sets, many MOOCs provide

interacve user forums to support community interacons between students, professors, and teach-

ing assistants. In this system students can ask quesons. In tradional regular class-rooms, students

learn in the class-room and then doing homework aer reaching home. In ipped class -rooms, the

students will watch video lectures at home and understood something. Then come to class-room and

they will do homework in front of professor. If a student has some problem in understand the lesson,

professor can teach them immediately. This can be the best way of teaching and learning system.

Ahmedabad: "Recently when I was talking with Morari Bapu about doing fast in Navratri, he

advised that we should do Digital Fast. Now me has come that we should observe Digital

Fast. We are busy all the me on our computers, phone or I-

pad etc. on Whatsapp or Face-book. Now human is not talking with human. We are giving birthday wishes to our co -worker

or neighbour on whatsapp or facebook. We are forgeng real values of relaons & heading

towards rise of virtual relaonship. The real essence of life is being forgoen. In such a sce-

nario we should keep ourselves away from gadgets for few days by Digital Fast," Kaajal Oza

Vaidya, Author - Columnist - Faculty told.

She was speaking as a key note speaker in one day Faculty Development Program on “Teacher

as a Contributor and achieving excellence in Training, Placement & Research”. The event was

held by Contributor Personality Development Program (CPDP Cell) and Integrated Training

16/24



for creave wring at

Gujarat University. In a

thought provoking lec-

ture, she said that

youth are geng redat the age of 35. When

they start enjoying real

life at 50, they are

geng cancer or heart

aack at the age of 52

or 55. In this fast age

divorces are on the

rise. We are not giving

any chance to rela-

ons. Nobody is ready

to listen anyone. In real

sense, a person wants

another person should

hear him, can under-

stand his or her feel-

ings. But they are not interested. Self -centered feeling increasing in everybody's mind. No doubt,

the world will change & going in whatever situaon, there will always be need of a human being to

any person.

She advised faculty members to nd his own self -comfort zone. There are lots of expectaons of

society towards teachers. But teachers are also human beings. They are also having family andtheir own problems. Among all the issues teachers have to play role of ideal person for students. A

teacher has to play two-life: classroom life & personal life. It is very important what teacher is do-

ing with family & friends during his or her personal life. If a teacher is not happy from inside, what

he wil teach in class next day? Thus in the age of compeon, it is becoming very dicult for

teacher to keep balancing between the two type of life. Increase your capabilies slowly. Do not

take extraordinary stress. Some lady teachers are saying that between classroom life and personal

life, we are not geng me for ourselves.

New generaon is very smart. We are complaining that our son or daughter are not studying well.

But in fact they are from the generaon that has informaon at the touch of a nger. So now role

of a teacher has been changed & has to teach only something new instead of basics. Teachers have

to teach discipline, me management & values. A teacher should not do his or her work as a job,

but it must be taken as a passion. There is need of pung board on each & every classroom that:

"Teaching is a serious business, Leave all your frustraons and all your worries, before you enter

the class". She advised teachers to inculcate respect of students towards Indian tradions.

Ahmedabad: “Be posive and avoid being negave. When you are posive, opposion to you will dis-

appear and you will earn goodwill. Your posive outlook towards the world generates happy-in-feeling

within you. So be posive, be happy and spread happiness all around”, Guruji Shri G. Narayana, Chair-

man Emeritus of Excel Industries Limited said in Faculty Development Programme (FDP) at Gujarat Tech-

nological University (GTU).

Guruji, who is now also spending a missionary life as a mentor to many people through his inspiring and

movang books and talks told GTU faculty members that, “Quality, Completeness, Defectlessness, Ac-

curacy, Cleanliness, Economy, Order, Appropriateness, Simpleness, Timeliness, Reliability, Brevity,

Meaningfulness, Informaveness, Awareness, Concentraon, Clarity are the Mantras for achieving ex-

cellence in educaon. Be acve and achieve results. Acon alone can give concrete results. Work and

act for progress. Acons arise from intenons. Act and be happy.” “Be mely. Do not postpone. Do not

run to past or future. Be in the present, learn from past and prepare for future. Be excellent. Excellent

work is ecient and eecve work. Be economical. Do not waste money. Eliminate wastes and experi-

ence richness in life. Learning is growing. When one stops learning one stops growing. Learning is earn-

ing understanding. Learn connuously with humbleness and grow to understand yourself, the whole

world and also gain knowledge, wisdom and consciousness. There is end for teaching but there is no

end for learning. Be enthusiasc. Enthusiasm is welcoming others, welcoming new ideas and welcoming

change. Enthusiasm is readiness to meet people, take responsibility to parcipate, to contribute and to

HIGHWAYS TO HAPPINESS: BE POSITIVE,

When you connect to people, your resources and abilies mulply. Link ideas and generate joy of

team creavity. Work in teams and enjoy the connecng power. Unity is oneness. When all religions

will unify to transcend any one religion, world harmony will be reality. Joy is your true nature. Enjoy

every moment of your life and make your journey a happy joyful journey”, he said.

Dr. Shailesh Thaker said that, “training is limited, but

learning is unlimited. Current world changes at very fast

pace, so fast so we have to keep update ourselves by

learning new thing. That way all faculty members of GTU

have to learn through FDP program. So you will not out-

dated like carbon paper, typewriter, or pager. Skill devel-

opment is absolutely useful for life during and aer job.

So enhance your skills. Update yourself in the communi-

caon, in the latest technology and in the art of presen-taon. I always put emphasis on fun based learning. Learning is inculcate in student easily, when we

connect with fun with our syllabus.”

Marna Gleissenebner-Teskey, Personal Presence Training & Coach from Austria told faculty mem-

bers to introspect about history, values, characteriscs, roles. She said that besides this she advised

facules to explore competences like talents, educaon and experience. Then you will be driven by

your mission of life. The inner voice that calls him/her to that authenc Self is called 'purpose'. The

majority of the people, however, try to burry that voice in order to live a life according to known

standards. They start making inner noise in order to distract themselves and to not hear that voice.

She said that true comfort zone is…

Where you feel truly at home

Where you feel working to your strengths

Where you can apply your specic personality

Shri Sash Kumar batra, Principal, Bhavan's college of Communicaon & Management - Jaipur told

the faculty members that, “in the present era of informaon revoluon, if a teacher is not updated,

he/she would not be able to face student and can much less do juscaon to the profession. Such a

programme is very important because without development of faculty on the right line we cannot ex-

pect more development of the students. To improve educaon system, we need more interacve sys-

tem, more useful system.”
