    MDN Edify Education Gives An Impetus To The Indian Education Sector By Giving Franchise Opportunities To Set Up International Schools

    The DRS group’s venture aims to provide quality education that matches international standards to children of all ages

    Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], September 13: The need for quality education in a growing country like India is significantly high. Educated leaders drive countries in a sustainable manner, thanks to the rationality and critical thinking abilities instilled by holistic education. Along with the leaders, it is important for every mind in a country to be well-educated, especially when it comes to its younger population. Being a country full of young and motivated minds, India can flourish as a global superpower with fruitful educational opportunities.

    With the intention of imparting quality education to every household across the country, MDN Edify Education Pvt Ltd is giving out franchises to organizations sharing common goals. A venture of Hyderabad’s DRS group and a dream of its founder and CMD Mr. Dayanand Agarwal, MDN Edify Education is establishing a chain of schools imparting quality education across India that matches international standards. The educational institution encourages individuals and groups sharing its motto of “leading young India” to partner with it and help the team secure its CMD’s dream.

    By offering its school franchise to suitable partners, MDN Edify Education helps it get rid of the time and effort taken by an educational institute to solidify its image in the industry. It allows the partners to bank on the reputation and credibility earned by Edify and the DRS Group over decades. Partners seeking franchises can set up dedicated schools for imparting Pre-Primary, Primary, Secondary, and Higher-Secondary education. By getting on board, the partners can become a part of the institution running 100pre-schools and 35 K-12 schools across the country, allowing them to get on the bandwagon of an already established brand.

  • Reviving Dreams: A Tale of Transformation for Swaminarayan Vidyalaya

    Reviving Dreams: A Tale of Transformation for Swaminarayan Vidyalaya

    “The profound positive impact of Yuva Unstoppable’s school transformation efforts have impacted the lives of countless children.”

    New Delhi (India), September 12: In the heart of the village of Manipura, Viramgam Taluka, Ahmedabad district, stands Swaminarayan Vidyalaya, a school that had weathered the storms of time for 54 years. Despite its history, the school is marred with dilapidated infrastructure, crumbing ceilings and dwindling attendance. But in 2019, the winds of change began to blow when Mr. Mahendra Purohit took the helm as the new principal.

    With a  broken façade and hazardous conditions unfit for the education of young minds, Mr Purohit had walked into a grim situation. ‘Our school had become a place where studying had become a challenge, and parents were increasingly reluctant to send their children into such an environment. We faced the looming threat of closure due to low enrolment’’ describes the Principal, who, even in times of despair, never gave up hope.

    In spite of facing several rejections from local companies and government schemes for financial aid, a glimmer of hope emerged when Yuva Unstoppable, an organization committed to transforming educational landscapes, came into the picture. Within just three months, the trajectory of the school began to shift. We recognised the urgent need for refurbishment, swiftly mobilized resources and found a generous donor who shared our vision. Our aim is transformation in schools beyond brick and mortar. We want these spaces to become safe & cheerful environments for children to learn, grow and become responsible and contributing adults,’ says Amitabh Shah, Founder – Yuva Unstoppable.

    Yuva Unstoppable immediately recognised that Swaminarayan Vidyalaya was not just a school; it was the educational lifeline for children from ten surrounding villages. For girls in grades IX and X, attending school required walking 10-kilometer journeys, a sacrifice that many parents deemed too great. The result was rising dropout rates and dashed dreams. Yuva Unstoppable’s intervention, however, acted as a lifeline for these students and the school.

    ‘In the current academic year, we have welcomed 101 students, with 52 of them being girls. The provision for the smallest of facilities from Yuva Unstoppable, such as new benches, blackboards, and revitalized classrooms with educational paintings, has created an environment that is conducive to learning. Suddenly, my team’s focus has shifted from just keeping the school operational to fostering a thriving educational atmosphere for our children’ – Mahendra Purohit, Principal – Swaminarayan Vidyalaya

    The impact of the interventions of the School Transformation Program of Yuva Unstoppable is multifold – teachers, once disheartened, were reinvigorated by the changes. Students who had once struggled to find motivation now walked into a school that exuded security and comfort. The introduction of smart classrooms elevated the learning experience, making education not just accessible but engaging. This resulted in the school now drawing children from nearby villages – first-generation learners who now look at this as a beacon of hope.

    One example that encapsulates the transformation is that of a student currently in Standard X, who now aims to complete high school and has also expressed her aspirations to continue

    Studying in grades XI and XII in the same school. This shift in attitude has symbolized the profound impact that an improved learning environment can have on young minds.

    The one constant, through the success stories and the dreams, has been the Principal – Mr. Purohit. His dedication of 16 years of service to shaping the future of these children has been remarkable and humbling. Hailing from the same village, he understands the struggles first-hand and is deeply moved by the hardships the students face. His resilience is a testament to the power of perseverance and compassion.

    In the face of adversity, people like Mr Purohit and organisations like Yuva Unstoppable exemplify an unyielding spirit. ‘We at Yuva Unstoppable want to demonstrate that with partners like Mr. Purohit, we do not merely seek change; we become agents of it driven with compassion and purpose. Education is a vehicle for empowerment and transformation and that true change is possible, and dreams do come true,’ says Amitabh Shah.

    As we celebrate this story, let it inspire us to look beyond society’s adversities and work together in collaboration to create an atmosphere where children are nurtured and their true potential is unleashed. Embark upon this journey with Yuva Unstoppable – where the path may be demanding, but the impact is immeasurable.

  • Pranav Gupta, Ashoka University founder, discusses – The Rise of MOOCs and Their Impact on Higher Education

    Pranav Gupta, Ashoka University founder, discusses – The Rise of MOOCs and Their Impact on Higher Education

    New Delhi (India), September 8: Education is undergoing a profound transformation in today’s rapidly evolving digital landscape. The rise of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) is shaping a new era of learning, revolutionizing the way students access and engage with higher education. As the world becomes more interconnected and technology-driven, MOOCs have emerged as a significant education tool, redefining traditional educational paradigms and democratizing knowledge like never before. Pranav Gupta Ashoka University Founder, highlights, “MOOCs have the potential to make quality education accessible to anyone with an internet connection, levelling the playing field for eager learners worldwide. These online courses, often offered by prestigious universities and institutions, have gained immense popularity due to their accessibility and flexibility.”

    Enriching conventional teaching-learning processes

    The impact of MOOCs on higher education is multi-faceted. Traditional higher education institutions are taking note of this trend and are partnering with MOOC platforms to offer courses that complement their existing curriculum.  MOOCs are acting as a catalyst for innovation within universities, pushing them to rethink their teaching methods and adopt more student-centric approaches. From breaking down geographical barriers to enabling learners from around the globe to access education, these courses can work side-by-side with the traditional way of the teaching-learning process, thereby enriching the whole educational experience.

    Affordability and Personalized Education

    The affordability of MOOCs compared to traditional education is a game-changer. Higher education costs have been a significant concern for students and their families, often acting as a barrier to entry. Pranav Gupta emphasizes, “MOOCs address the financial burden associated with higher education, providing cost-effective alternatives that are especially beneficial for those who seek knowledge but may not have the means to enrol in traditional programs.”

    MOOCs also allow for personalized learning experiences. With their diverse range of courses, students can tailor their learning journey to their specific interests and career aspirations. Gupta adds, “MOOCs empower learners to take ownership of their education, enabling them to upskill or explore new subjects at their own pace. So even someone who may be working, can enrol in a course and be benefitted.”

    The rise of MOOCs has also prompted educators to reflect on their role in this evolving scenario. With content delivery becoming increasingly digitized, educators are transforming into facilitators of learning, guiding students through the vast sea of online resources. “MOOCs underscore the importance of educators as mentors, helping students navigate the digital realm and develop critical thinking skills,” remarks Pranav Gupta of Ashoka University.

    Debates surrounding MOOCs

    However, like any transformative force, MOOCs have sparked debates within the educational community. Some critics argue that the lack of in-person interaction and hands-on experiences in MOOCs may hinder the development of certain skills. While the courses offer a plethora of benefits, they are not a one-size-fits-all solution. They should ideally complement traditional education rather than replace it entirely. Moreover, the credibility and recognition of MOOCs have been subjects of discussion. As the number of MOOCs continues to grow, there is a need for a standardized system of assessing their quality and accrediting the knowledge gained.

    Pranav Gupta believes that establishing a reliable system of certification for MOOCs is essential to ensure that learners’ efforts are recognized and valued by employers and institutions. Online courses can enable individuals to consistently enhance their skills, ensuring their ability to adapt and effectively meet the demands of various industries.

    Looking ahead, the future of MOOCs seems promising yet dynamic. As technology continues to advance, MOOC platforms are likely to incorporate immersive experiences such as virtual reality and interactive simulations to enhance learning. “MOOCs will evolve to provide not just knowledge dissemination, but immersive and engaging learning environments that cater to different learning styles,” concludes Ashoka University Founder Pranav.

  • Vineet Gupta Ashoka Founder discusses – The rising position of South Asia in the global education sector

    Vineet Gupta Ashoka Founder discusses – The rising position of South Asia in the global education sector

    New Delhi (India), September 7: South Asia has emerged as a formidable contender in the global education sector due to unprecedented connectivity and rapid technological advancements. With 25% of the world’s population, South Asia is brimming with growing human potential. The region has 42 million students at higher education levels, with 34 million just in India. Vineet Gupta, Ashoka University Founder, emphasises the region’s impressive strides in recent years. “The region’s evolution from a traditional knowledge hub to a modern educational powerhouse has not only transformed the lives of its citizens but also positioned it prominently on the world map of academia. South Asia’s journey toward becoming a major education leader is remarkable, to say the least. With a focus on inclusivity and innovation, we have fostered an environment where learning knows no boundaries,” Vineet Gupta remarks. 

    Inclusive and holistic learning approach:

    One of the defining aspects of South Asia’s rise in the global education sector is its emphasis on diversity and cultural enrichment. The region’s rich tapestry of cultures, languages, and traditions has become a unique asset in the world of education. It allows individuals to get involved in a truly immersive learning experience that prepares them for the global stage. This inclusive approach has attracted international students and facilitated the exchange of ideas that transcend geographical constraints alongside preparing changemakers.

    According to Piyush Gupta, the Chairman of Singapore Management University and Chief Executive of DBS Bank, South Asia is home to a significant portion of the global population and growth. He suggests universities should move beyond passively following market dynamics and simply preparing students for employment. “Universities ought to focus on creating leaders and peacemakers who can actively shape the world on a grander scale and leave a more significant imprint.”

    Across the region, over 50,000 higher education institutions provide a wide range of learning opportunities. These options vary from the traditional in-person campus experience to more adaptable online programs. The active participation of the private sector has played a crucial role in expediting the growth of educational capacity and injecting financial resources into the higher education domain. Ashoka University, a leading liberal arts private university in Asia, is a shining example, with an enrolment of over 2,500 students hailing from more than 243 cities within India and 27 additional countries. These students partake in a premium multidisciplinary education with research-focused and immersive practical experiences. This holistic approach equips them to emerge as future leaders and pioneers, ready to make a significant impact in their chosen paths.

    Technology, research and development:

    Technology has been a driving force in democratising education across South Asia. Online platforms and digital resources have enabled us to reach learners in the remotest corners, breaking down educational barriers and empowering individuals to pursue knowledge at their own pace. The region is making significant progress as it introduces diverse online learning alternatives, such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) and e-learning platforms. This expansion of online education contributes to enhanced flexibility and increased accessibility to learning. This rise in online learning is concurrent with the notable mobile usage in the region, which reached 41% in 2021 and is projected to surpass 50% by 2025.

    South Asia’s ascent as a global education hub is also mirrored in its commitment to research and development. The region’s universities have significantly invested in research infrastructure, fostering an environment conducive to cutting-edge discoveries. This has attracted top-tier faculty and placed South Asia at the forefront of innovation in various disciplines. However, there is still much to do and more to accomplish. Dr Karthick Sridhar, Vice Chairman of ICARE, highlights,“As the National Education Policy (NEP 2020) outlines, an effective higher education structure can be achieved through a three-tier system, including a research university consortium. To enhance global rankings, Indian universities must accentuate their research prowess and contributions.”

    Academia-Industry collaboration:

    Collaboration between academia and industry is the cornerstone of South Asia’s educational renaissance. By integrating real-world applications into the curricula, graduates who are knowledgeable and work-ready from day one can be nurtured. The growing number of international partnerships and collaborations evidences the global recognition of South Asia’s educational finesse.

    Enhancing the calibre of education across various tiers to provide individuals with pertinent skills suitable for the contemporary job landscape holds significant importance. Given that South Asia will introduce 1-1.2 million fresh entrants per month over the next two decades, providing them with the necessary skillset for success in the global workforce is vital.

    “South Asian institutions are increasingly promoting academic exchanges and joint research ventures,” Vineet Gupta of Ashoka University explains. “With MoU agreements and collaborations across boundaries, the international recognition is necessary to acquire the high standards of education and research that we have established and planning to do more.”

    South Asia faces opportunities and challenges as it continues its upward trajectory in the global education sector. While the achievements are commendable, there is a need to remain vigilant in upholding the integrity of the educational systems. The rising prominence of South Asia in the global education sector is a remarkable journey that reflects the region’s commitment to excellence, inclusivity, and innovation.

    “Today all my dilemmas got cleared, as I had a deep conversation with Anjali Ma’am. She solved all my career-related problems and showed me the right path. I have gone to many people and other counselors in the past, but no one is better than her. The psychometric test covers all aspects and suggests the most suitable career. Also, the team of Anjali ma’am is very holistic and generous. I say from personal experience that you would definitely regret not coming to Career Saarthi because it’s actually your career’s saarthi. True and holy in every sense,” says Neha Mehta, a first-year college student.

    “My journey as a Career Coach found its genesis in my own experiences, wherein I fumbled my way through Electronics, MBA, and banking only to find that none of these gave me the satisfaction I was looking for from my career. I wasted a good 10 years in the process, but realized the inherent need for someone who could guide and handhold clueless students like me through the rather confusing maze of courses and academics to ensure they are on the right path—a Saarthi!” says Anjali Saraogi, founder and CEO of Career Saarthi.

    Thus was born Career Saarthi, an edu-tech platform designed to cater to all the needs of a student through his or her academic journey, starting as early as Grade 8 and right up to post-graduation.

    The founder, Ms. Anjali Saraogi, is an executive alumnus of IIM Ahmedabad and feels very strongly about the herd mentality and preference given to a few select career options. She believes this is a recipe for disaster, as it leaves both the student and parents mentally and emotionally unhappy.
