Dr Manoj Kumar
It is a matter of great pleasure that IQAC, Uday Memorial B.Ed. College, Kedal, Ranchi, Affiliated to Ranchi University Ranchi, Jharkhand is going to organise Two Days International Seminar on “Digital Technology in Education for Sustainable Development.” On 27th & 28th April 2024. One of the fundamental components of the sustainable development 2030 agenda is quality education. It aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education for all. Digital technologies have emerged as an essential tool to achieve this goal. Digital technologies strive to decrease or eliminate pollution and waste while increasing production and efficiency. These technologies have shown a powerful impact on the education system. The recent COVID-19 Pandemic has further institutionalised the applications of digital technologies in education. These digital technologies have made a paradigm shift in the entire education system. It is not only a knowledge provider but also a co-creator of information, a mentor, and an assessor. Technological improvements in education have made life easier for students. Instead of using pen and paper, students nowadays use various software and tools to create presentations and projects. The theme chosen for the seminar is of great significance and contemporary relevance. I hope that the attending intellectuals should deliberate on the need of the hour in emerging areas and chalk out the road map for future plan of action. I am extremely happy to wish the International Seminar a great success.
