Bhupinder Gogia, Principal, Sat Paul Mittal School, Ludhiana started with how she transformed her career after her marriage. “We should not define the work in geographical boundaries. If you want to make a student future-ready then you need to work on teachers. As a child, I used to make fun of teachers for not bringing anything new but now I realize that it is very difficult to make this change. With the help of technology we can record good work done by teachers and appreciate everybody equally without any biases,” she added. 

Vinesh Menon stressed the fact that if parents are aware of technology,  they can make a lot of difference. “An urban child knows each and everything about the usage of the phone but the child of a rural origin barely knows about all features except that is used for connecting people or calling purpose. Technology awareness can make a change in the education system as well as in the life of the people. Even a low scoring student can create brilliant ideas,” he added.
