PM Modi advocates

Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised Visva Bharati for her inspiring heritage and on Friday asked his students to help farmers and artisans in villages adopted by the institution find global markets for their products.

He said that Guru Rabindranath Tagore did not see the university as a typical educational institution, but as one that would help Indian culture to reach its full potential.

Addressing the convocation of Visva Bharati, the country’s oldest central university, Modi said that knowledge is not a “silent and static concept, but a dynamic one.” “I urge the students and faculty at this inspiring institution to help farmers and artisans living in the villages adopted by the institution to find global markets for their products. This will be a step towards building a Bharat be ‘Atmanirbhar’ (autonomous). He said. He told the congregation that knowledge comes from responsibility and that the knowledge they acquire is not only theirs, but is a legacy for future generations. “Their knowledge and skills can make society proud, but they can also lead them to the darkness of ruin.

“If you don’t know the answers, write anything. Copy the questions in the answer slots but don’t leave the answer sheet blank. We have spoken to your teachers and they have said that they will mark you provided something is written in the answer sheets. We have also told the CBSE that if a child writes something, they should be marked,” he said.

Despite repeated attempts, Rai did not comment on the video. CBSE officials also declined to comment and said the education department could “give context” to the video.

CGBSE Class 9, 11 exams 2021

Chhattisgarh private schools have decided to organize the annual exams for students in the ninth and eleventh grade in offline mode this year. According to private schools in the state affiliated with the CBSE or the State Board, students receive a correct grade when exams are taken offline. According to the dates indicated in the official website CGBSE grade 9 and 11 exams will be held in March 2021.

Some schools have reportedly mentioned that the assessment of online exams is not done correctly and that many students also experience technical problems when taking the exams. School authorities believe that online tests cannot contain descriptive questions because downloading too many answer sheets becomes a problem for students taking the tests.

Public schools affiliated with the Chhattisgarh Board of Trustees are also likely to conduct annual exams for students in grades 9 and 11 offline. The exams are conducted by the schools and the questionnaires are provided by the respective schools. Public schools are expected to start teaching 9th and 11th grade students from the first week of April 2021, as the Chhattisgarh Council exams begin on April 15, 2021.

Google introduced more than 50 new distance learning software tools on Wednesday as teachers and students continue to meet in virtual classrooms during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“The need to learn and teach from everywhere will not stop even if the pandemic stops. We have an incredible opportunity to redefine learning for the future. That is why we have learned and taught last year. We made education a goal formal” said Pichai, 48. He said the company’s main mission is to organize the world’s information and make it widely accessible and useful. “The two are closely related. Learning makes information useful and enables people to apply the knowledge to make things better for themselves, their families and their communities,” he said.

Today, Google Classroom helps more than 150 million students, teachers, and principals around the world teach and learn, up from 40 million last year. Ben Gomes, Google’s senior vice president of learning and education, said technology is helping provide more tools and resources to support teaching and enable more learning.

Whatever their experience, everyone can and should have access to great learning experiences. The goal is to help people transform and reach their full potential, he said. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to blur the lines between home and classroom and it takes everyone – teachers, parents and extended families – to work together to make it through the school day, Gomes said. This challenge is also compounded by uneven access to devices, poor connectivity, and sometimes the digital skills required to use all the tools, he added.
