Lakshmi & I were evaluating schools for Grade 1 admission to our twins in AY 2024-25. Our selection criteria was broadly based on - 1. Child centricity 2. Learning focus 3. Accent on the future 4. Community orientation 5. Proximity to our residence We discovered Sparkling Mindz (SM) through one of our friend so yes , SM happened fortuitously is how it panned out in retrospect. Right from the outset, SM was quite transparent about their pedagogy and unwavering focus in keeping child at the centre that immediately resonated with us. We had a freewheeling discussion with SM facilitators & leadership on not only what SM stood for and their offering, but also gained perspective on future of education and our roles as parents and educators in helping children be the best version of themselves. This is not a spiel ,but here’s what we experienced about SM and their leadership (Sreeja & Minesh) thus far . Here’s our seven : 1. Clear articulation of Vision - To inspire confident learners & changemakers 2. Empathy & Curiosity - Cornerstones of child development 3. Walk the Talk - Apply classroom learnings to solve real world problems through 4 change maker missions . Broad themes around Sustainability, Food/circular economy, Safe spaces , Community outreach. 4. Focus on Life skills ( FinEd, Innovative learning constructs...) 5.

Challenge and Impact of National Education Policy 2020 on Higher Education Systems https://lnkd.in/gFPeb2y5 RVS Praveen, Brahma Mutya, Lokesh Kumar, Mohammad Ahmar Khan, Bhadrappa Haralayya, Narender Chinthamu. The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP 2020) presents a transformative vision for India's educational landscape, particularly focusing on revamping the higher education sector to align with contemporary global standards. This paper analyzes the challenges and impacts associated with the implementation of NEP 2020 within higher education institutions. NEP 2020 introduces significant structural changes, including the emphasis on multidisciplinary learning, student-centric approaches, and the promotion of research and innovation through comprehensive regulatory frameworks. While the policy aims to increase the Gross Enrollment Ratio and promote equity and inclusivity, several challenges such as faculty training, curriculum adaptation, infrastructure deficits, and the digital divide persist. Through an in-depth review of literature and real-life case studies, this paper identifies the practical implications of NEP 2020, highlighting both its transformative potential and the strategic steps required to overcome the associated challenges. The findings underscore that while NEP 2020 holds promise for creating a more flexible, inclusive, and effective higher education system, achieving its objectives will require coordinated efforts, significant investment, and policy-driven solutions to ensure long-term success.

I am happy to share that I have completed the "Foundations in Design Thinking" certification by IDEO. This 10-week online course focuses less on theory (unlike many courses I have taken in the past) and more on practical application, requiring participants to apply design thinking principles to real-life problems, and the journey has been incredibly rewarding. #designthinking #ideo #continuouslearning

Aligned with PM Narendra Modi's #MakeInIndia vision to establish India as a leading manufacturing hub, it's clear that our manufacturing sector must rise to the occasion and take the benefit of this government initiative. However, achieving this goal is easier said than done. The Indian manufacturing industry must work diligently to compete with developed nations that have long dominated the global landscape.   To meet the government's targets, a fundamental shift in mindset is necessary. We cannot achieve our objectives with just a labor-centric approach; embracing technology as an ally is crucial to compete with global industrial powerhouses. Moreover, combining capital investments with skill enhancement is not a choice but need of the hour. Investing in advanced technologies and infrastructure will enable us to build a competitive and resilient future for Indian manufacturing.   Let’s not miss the bus on this transformative journey. Technology can be our friend in building a competitive and resilient future for Indian manufacturing   #MakeInIndia #Manufacturing #Innovation #Investment #DigitalTransformation #ERP

Karnataka's Private Sector Reservation Bill by Congress govt sparking significant industry backlash and raising several critical issues. By prioritizing local candidates based on birth or domicile, the bill inadvertently fosters a divisive atmosphere that undermines the fundamental principles of Constitution. Key Provisions of the Bill: ➡️ Reservation Quotas: - 50% for management positions - 75% for non-management positions - 100% for lower-grade (Group 'C and D') ➡️ Eligibility Criteria: - Born in Karnataka or domiciled for 15 years. - Proficiency in Kannada. - Exemptions for highly specialized jobs (conditions apply). ➡️ Penalties: ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 for Non-Compliance ➡️ Training Prog: Companies to collaborate with govt to train local candidates within 3 yrs. Key Concerns: 🔥 India's rich cultural and linguistic diversity is threatened by reservation policies that create regional barriers, impeding free movement and national integration. 🔥 Emphasizing local candidates could cause a brain drain, discouraging skilled professionals from other states and harming Karnataka's economic growth and the nation's talent pool. 🔥 Restricting the talent pool can stifle innovation and competitiveness, forcing businesses to compromise on quality and ultimately harming the state's economy. 🔥 Reservation policies often create loopholes for corruption and nepotism, undermining meritocracy and fair competition. 🔥 The bill might face legal issues due to potential violations of equal opportunity and freedom of movement rights. Potential Impacts: 1. Economic & Talent Considerations: - Businesses might struggle to find qualified locals for specialized roles, potentially hindering growth and innovation. - Training programs for local candidates could add a financial burden to companies. 2. Potential Positive Impacts: - The policy could incentivize companies to invest in training and developing local talent, leading to a more skilled workforce and employment. - By providing better job opportunities locally, the policy might reduce the brain drain from Karnataka. 3. Ripple Effect: - Short-Term: Immediate challenges include potential disruptions in business operations and increased costs for compliance and training. - Long-Term: If successful, the policy could lead to a more skilled local workforce and reduced reliance on non-local talent. Rather than addressing regional unemployment, this policy may foster regionalism, threatening national unity and harmony. Prioritizing locals over merit undermines a fair and competitive business ecosystem, hindering Karnataka's economic growth. A more equitable and sustainable approach involves skill development programs, enhancing education, and fostering a conductive business environment that attracts talent nationwide while empowering local talent to compete effectively. #Karnataka #PrivateSector #JobReservation #EconomicImpact #PolicyDebate #LegalChallenges #DataDrivenPolicy
