Ashwini Guruji is an embodiment of the gyan of the Vedas. He follows the Guru-Shishya parampara in its totality, He believes yoga is a sadhana and not a business. The foundation is committed to the cause of spreading awareness about the authentic path of yoga, as laid down by Sage Patanjali 4,500 years ago. Be it conducting lectures at various prestigious institutions like IIM, Bangalore, Oxford University, and London, authoring masterpieces on esoteric subjects (including the thesis on anti-ageing, Sanatan Kriya – The Ageless Dimension) or taking seekers from across ages on spiritual sojourns to places of importance in the Vedic culture – He has continuously enlightened us about our history.
From revealing to us the deep secrets hidden under the Earth at the Patal Bhuvaneshwari Caves, interpreting the ancient Vedic symbolism of the Rollright stones in the UK, to uncovering astounding revelations of the Sigiriya rock in Sri Lanka, Ashwini Guruji has enlightened us about the Vedic relevance of each of these places.
Formed in 2002 to share and spread the gyan of the original and pristine form of yog, Dhyan Foundation, today is a global phenomenon with centres all across the world where Sanatan Kriya (Patanjali Ashtang Yog in its original, undiluted form) sessions are conducted free of cost as per the ancient Guru-Shishya Parampara. Thousands across the globe have benefited physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually from the practice of Sanatan Kriya.

‘Successfactor.in’ is organizing a 2-day online global summit on 5th & 6th December to clear the confusions and provide guidance to the students preparing for the government exam. In this summit, more than 16 experts and government officials from different fields will be present, who will answer the questions asked by the students and help them solve their problems and resolve issues.
During this summit, the students will get a chance to interact with the government officials who have served the nation for decades through services like UPSC, SSC and MPSC, Bank PO, RBI, PCS, LIC, NTPC, SI, Collector, Bank Management, SDM amongst others. This summit will also give students an idea on how students should prepare for their respective examinations, in which direction should they move how the exam can be cleared in one go, etc. Students will also get an opportunity to know the answer to important questions. It can be a good opportunity for students to have so many experts together on a single platform to guide them through their road roadblocks.
Successfactor.in provides students step by step preparation for prelims, mains, such (essay) and interview etc. for UPSC and PSC. Every student is personally assisted in exam syllabus, patterns, tips and tricks, time management and study material. Successfactor.in guides students to all types of government exams. Not only this, students are also informed about the available sponsorship avenues. This is the first new initiative of its kind for hardworking students.
To help students and professionals amid the current uncertainty, the Institute for Career Studies (ICS) has been providing a wide range of free career guidance services through its mobile app, ICS Career GPS.
Among the many changes triggered by the Pandemic, an important one is how we make our educational and career-related choices. These tough times have highlighted the significance of diversifying our career portfolio with suitable fallback options. It is predicted that 85% jobs that will be on offer in 2030 do not exist today. Many traditional specialisations will be replaced by new-age ones such as Molecular Gastronomy, Behavioural Finance, Cliodynamics, Cognitive Psychology, Genetics Law, etc, which require interdisciplinary education.
Mumbai, which has always been at the helm of career trends in India, is expected to, once again, reflect these changes before other cities. In this rapidly changing employment scenario, Mumbai has the advantage of its big pool of educated, upwardly mobile and well-travelled young workforce. In fact, all of Maharashtra, which has more than 40 million children under the age of 18 years, has a distinct advantage in staying ahead of times.
“We have guided numerous students and professionals globally over the past few months. We especially want to reach out to the youth in tier-II cities of Maharashtra like Nashik, Pune, Aurangabad and Nagpur,” said Dr Amrita Dass, Founder-Director, ICS, and Member, UP Government’s Steering Committee for implementing the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
Highlighting the need and scope of career counselling in India, Dr Dass said, “Our country has 50 million students in need of career guidance. A recent career awareness survey revealed that 93% Indian students are aware of just 7 career options although there are over 250. ICS Career GPS guides users to careers based on their interests. The deep-dive tests in the app enable them to shortlist their best fit careers. The user gets a career report and information about courses, campuses and career pathways, along with chat opportunity with our advisors – free of charge. The objective is to help the youth discover their dream careers.”
In August, the School Education Department of J&K had placed ICS Career GPS on its career portal to benefit students from the region. The app highlights the new subject combinations and careers that will emerge with the implementation of NEP 2020 and also facilitates easy access to experts for personalised counselling.
Additionally, ICS has provided over 1,000 free personalised counsellings since August 15, as part of a CSR initiative.
Established in 1985, ICS, with a global presence today, pioneered career counselling and guidance services in India, Bangladesh and the Middle East, benefitting over 3,00,000 students.
Bengaluru, 5 September 2020: On Teacher’s Day, Edu-Warriors undertaking Digital Transformation & Holistic Learning program to make school teachers future-ready were celebrated at the first-of-its-kind Knowledge L’avenir Conclave webinars by Mr. Ali Sait of Tech Avant-Garde (TAG), in association with Microsoft, Knowledge Key Foundation, Lycee Corp, Efeeonline and Roshini Social Schooling. Over the next 12 weeks (till November 2020), 3,000 teachers will exhibit their Digital Teaching Skills and over 150,000 teachers from over 72,000 schools across India with a student-teacher population of 76 million (7.6 crore) will get inspired to make the Digital Transformation. This grand education showcase is part of Mr. Sait’s vision to transform 18 lakh schools in India from four walls of the classroom to Connected Learning Community after the announcement of the National Education Policy (NEP).
The keynote speakers (edu–warriors) for I TOUCH THE FUTURE… i teach L’avenir Knowledge Conclave (LAC) Curtain Raiser moderated by Mr. Ali Sait (CEO, TAG), were: Mr. Kulbhushan Sharma (President, NISA), Mr. Vincent KV (Secretary, ASISC), Dr. Vinnie Jauhari (Director-Education and Industry Expert, Microsoft), Dr. Dakshayini Kanna (Director, Principal, Harvest International School), Ms. Vandana Baik (R&D and Innovation, Dir. Of Higher Education, Goa), Ms. Sonia Garcha (CSpathshala), Ms. Roshini Kumar (Chief Patron, Roshni, Social Schooling) and Ms. Praveen Rai (COO, NPCI) along with several school principals and teachers from all parts of the country.
Dr. Vinnie Jauhari (Director-Education and Industry Expert, Microsoft)
In her opening remarks, Dr. Vinnie Jauhari (Director-Education and Industry Expert, Microsoft) quoted world-famous personalities such as Nobel laureate and education activist Malala Yousafzai who said, “They cannot stop me. I will get my education, if it is in the home, school or any place” and Microsoft’s global CEO Satya Nadella who said, “As COVID-19 impacts every aspect of our work and life, we have seen two years’ worth of digital transformation in two months Microsoft Education transformation framework Leadership & Policy, Teaching & Learning, Intelligent Empowerment, and Student and School Success.”
Ali Sait, CEO, Tech Avant-Garde
Ali Sait, CEO, Tech Avant-Garde, said, “The Government’s National Education Policy has given a boost to making India a world leader in digitally imparted school education by 2020 – the 75th platinum jubilee year of Indian independence. NEP will also help ed-tech companies to raise funds required for transforming 18 lakh schools across India. In fact, academicians and ed-tech players are very happy that NEP follows the UNESCO model of 21st century-ready classrooms and digital devices as textbooks. The ideas of Open Schools, Cluster Public-Private Schools to take digital learning to underprivileged and remote students; and spending on digitization instead of brick and mortar classrooms are revolutionary. If implemented in the right spirit, then India will become a global leader in education.” The Indian education industry has crossed the USD 100 billion mark (Rs. 7.5 lakh crore) while the ed-tech industry is expected to cross USD 3.5 bn by 2020.
“The transformation and adoption of digital teaching and learning have been the fastest in 2020 – 3 to 4 times faster than those witnessed in the last few years. We believe that Microsoft has the mother of all content and if every teacher is empowered as a content creator, then the whole school is transformed. Teachers well versed in digital teaching can transform Government schools and this will help students/teachers in remote areas. Eventually, the students will drive the change and can be part of the class of digitally trained teachers even if they are not in a class,” says Ali Sait. But it’s a long journey as they have touched only the tip of the iceberg – 72,000 schools out of 4 lakh private sector schools and 14 lakh Govt. schools.
Ali Sait also says that each class needs Rs. 10 lakh to be digitally transformed. “The Government has announced bold steps in NEP with emerging tech-driven ideas such as Skype in Classroom and Virtual field trips instead of the traditional ‘chalk and talk’. As home schools become the new normal, Cognitive learning, Mixed Reality, Immersive Learning, IoT and AR-VR will eventually reach students at home. Public-private partnership is the way forward where the private sector helps by investing a million to transform each class. Poor bandwidth related problems can be tackled the way it is done in Africa – internet through SIM cards,” says Ali Sait.
Under the above program, teachers have been trained in Gen Extra Muros – Knowledge Beyond Walls pedagogy. The teachers who are trained under this program are “Future Ready”. They are eligible to take part in Knowledge L’avenir Conclave to display their digital teaching skills. Each Knowledge L’avenir Conclave webinar will be a one-day event; in which teachers from one school will present topics of their choice, using technology-based teaching tools. In every webinar, an average of 20 teachers from 1,000 schools will get an invitation to attend and witness this digital teaching extravaganza. The attendees will get insight on digital teaching and would get inspired to enhance their teaching skills. Knowledge L’avenir Conclave participation is only by invitation – each invited school is allowed to enroll teachers to make a presentation in the webinar to exhibit their digital teaching skills.
Ali Sait’s dream of a Connected Learning Community is a simple yet powerful idea with even more relevance today than when he first introduced the concept in the year 2002. His vision is that the world is an enriched learning environment in which technology used well enhances and expands opportunities for learning while providing the practical technology experience needed in today’s society and workplaces. In the Connected Learning Community: Students, educators, and parents have any time, anyplace access to learning; Learning is relevant, individualized and personalized; Schools have information systems that support accountability and efficient management; Schools, campuses, homes, libraries, businesses, and global resources are connected in a dynamic, collaborative learning environment. Yet for 21st-century learning, technology alone is not sufficient. Schools, students, and teachers must have the vision and opportunity to experiment, innovate, and create with technology as a learning tool. Ali wants to facilitate a New Era of Education in a growing number of schools and communities around the world. Technology has helped launch a new era of education that simultaneously fosters academic excellence and the practical experience needed to succeed in life and work in the growing knowledge economy. Nevertheless, communities have only begun to tap the potential of technology for learning.
Most of these students and teachers would require items such as Laptops, Tablets, Handheld devices, electronic writing pads, learning software, internet, desks, chairs, etc. Tech Avant-Garde is planning to showcase these products in Knowledge L’avenir Conclave webinars along with the names of the fulfillment agencies.
