Bengaluru, November, 2018:<\/strong>\u00a0AICTE will introduce a three-week induction program for each student with the aim to build a strong connect between them and the faculty, said Anil Dattatraya Sahasrabudhe, chairman of All India Council of Technical Education (AICTE) on Saturday. He was speaking at IFIM Business School\u2019s corporate summit, Confluence, where he was the Chief Guest.<\/p>\n

\n

The theme of the event was \u2018Engaging Millennials\u2019 where Smita Nair Jain, Senior Divisional Vice President, Sears Holdings India was the keynote speaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe three week induction is to bring back the student faculty connect. To start with, there are no classes in the first three weeks of college. A set of 15 to 25 students will be assigned to a faculty member. The faculty will engage with each student, starting from choosing the subjects to exercising, Yoga, breakfasts, etc. The faculty member associated with the students will naturally become the trusted companion for them. In case of any problem at the institution, students will not hassle, like go on a strike, but speak to this faculty member for advice or suggestions. This way, students become the problem solvers for tomorrow. Mentorship is thus, an important aspect of new age training. Management institutions like IFIM are spearheading such initiatives, which is a growth indicator of the sector,\u201c said\u00a0Sahastrabuddhe<\/strong>. He stressed that the idea behind the various programs by AICTE is to channelise the ecstatic energy of millennials into productive activities.<\/p>\n

\n

Sharing his views on the role of educational institutions in engaging with millennials,\u00a0Dr. Atish Chattopadhyay, Director, IFIM Business School\u00a0<\/strong>said, \u201cEducational institutions have the responsibility to train the young, enthusiastic generation to become future leaders. Hence, each of us, the faculty and management have to go beyond our roles as just teachers to a support system that students can count on. At IFIM, our aim is to develop a holistically trained continuously employable student. The pedagogy, therefore, should involve personality enhancement, instilling social awareness and building life skills, alongside the academic upgrades.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAnother objective of the three week induction is to engage in different art forms. Education is not just academics but improving other life skills and finer learning. So, we will have classes on painting, singing or pottery and students can attend whichever class they want in the evenings. Inspirational lectures by eminent personalities and film screenings will also be the parts of this program. Other initiatives that we are working towards are the teachers training for one month, exam reforms including open book format and solving real life industry problems,\u201d added Sahastrabuddhe.<\/p>\n
