It gives me immense pleasure to learn that the IQAC, Uday Memorial B.Ed. College,
Ranchi, Jharkhand is organizing a two day International Seminar on the theme “Digital
Technology in Education for Sustainable Development” from 27th to 28th April, 2024. Such
academic programs are essential to give both the teacher and the students better and greater
exposure to their academic pursuits and certainly open up new locus in the teaching learning
process. The burgeoning integration of digital technology within the educational landscape has
emerged as a pivotal catalyst propelling progress towards the objectives of sustainable
development. Furthermore, these digital instruments serve to democratize access to quality
education, effectively bridging the historical divide between urban and rural communities,
ultimately ensuring inclusivity and equity within the educational sphere. The emphasis placed
on digital technology integration within education, as evidenced by India’s National Education
Policy (NEP) 2020, underscores its critical role in advancing the goals of sustainable
development by fostering the integration of digital technology into teaching and learning
processes.
My best wishes to the organizing committee of the International Seminar to make it
very effective and successful. I wish the International Seminar and the Souvenir published on
the occasion a grand success.
