SHASTRI INDO-CANADIAN LECTURE SERIES CONCLUDES AT UIFT, PANJAB UNIVERSITY

Chandigarh March 30, 2022

Nurturing modern and multi-national narratives through the exchange of South Asian and Western traditional handcraft techniques

UIFT hosted the fourth online lecture and valedictory of Shastri Indo Canadian Lecture Series “ Taking traditions forward: Preserving and conserving culture and heritage in the South Asian Canadian Diaspora”.

Dr. Anu H. Gupta, Director of the Shastri, Indo Canadian Lecture Series, and Chairperson of UIFT & VD, revealed that all of the lectures in this series emphasised the importance of cross-cultural interchange and the impact of tradition and heritage as a result of global contacts across borders. This is also true for the Indian and Canadian diasporas. She further advocated that the goal of this series is to expand knowledge, conduct more research on newly build up areas, and foster collaborations. For this series, 350 participants registered and about 100-150 participants joined for every lecture. Dr. Rita Kant, UIFT & VD faculty, initially greeted the event’s attendees, guests, and resource person.

Professor Sudhir Kumar, Dean Research, Panjab University complimented UIFT for holding a series on such an important subject, and further praised for distinguished speakers and excellent presentations at each lecture. Dr. Prachi Kaul, Director Shastri Indo Canadian Institute, Guest of Honour elaborated on the initiation of this Indo-Canadian collaboration, which has had a long run of more than 53 years now. She emphasised the importance of this platform provided by Shastri Indo Canadian Institute where people connect with others across borders for intellectual exchange further adding many dimensions of future research and collaboration. She expressed her gratitude to the others in the team of sharing this vision of exposing the students to such international expertise and academia.

Dr. Satwinder Kaur Bains Senior Associate; Director: SASI; University Advisor: Canada-India Relations Social, Cultural, & Media Studies, University of the Fraser Valley, Canada and Collaborator of this lecture series echoed a similar expression of being able to contribute through such collaborative platforms, where the interactions highlight the actual global nature of academic. Each of the members shared the thought of continuing this chain of connecting the intellect, the artistic and the academic.

Dr. Tanya White from The creative School, Ryerson University, Canada made the session extremely enlightening through her nuanced and unique approach of connecting the research practices and teaching. Her presentation titled “Nurturing Narratives through South Asian and western Handcraft Technique” focused on making the students create a narrative of their own through their design techniques re-defined through a personal and artistic perspective. This technique according to her is empowering for students. She shared her creative work, which was a re-definition of the traditional weaving, knitting and crocheting techniques. Her talk was a blend of tradition, art and the modern technique describing the unique aspect of every single designer in the uniform of an artist as well. The tasks were described as exhaustive exercises of encouraging students through a process of finding an inspiration, and to find how the material can lead the way as one piece of design is worked over and over again into a polished end result. Another of her fascinations, was the phenomenal work by Shradha Kochhar, a textile artist who had presented on “From Farm to Fabric to Fashion”. Tanya believes that the handcraft and the different traditions behind it, Asian or otherwise have similar impressions which become the common ground to identify the common as well as the unique. She exhibited her work of a weaved and embroidered portrait which showed an extremely fine detail, an artistic approach and an execution of post-modern concept of fashion. Her aim has been to embody the designs onto body so that the real movement of the fabrics is acknowledged. Her unique approach proved to be a great pedagogical tool for various teachers who appreciated the effort of the Speaker in sharing her approaches of making the works highly impressionistic, organic and of an emotional dimension by attaching a narrative behind them.  Dr. Prabhdip Brar, UIFT & VD faculty, thanked everyone who participated and contributed to the success of the lecture series.

Developing Strategies for Implementation of New Education Policy

Chandigarh March 30, 2022

            UIAMS organised a brainstorming session to develop operational strategies for fructifying the salient features of the New Education policy wherein faculty and research scholars shared their views. It was noted that the NEP 2020 is the first education policy of the 21st century and replaces the thirty-six  year old National Policy on Education (NPE), 1986.

            Built on the foundational pillars of Access, Equity, Quality, Affordability and Accountability, this policy is aligned to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It is indeed very revolutionary as it aims to transform India into a vibrant knowledge society and global knowledge superpower by making education more holistic, flexible, multidisciplinary, suited to 21st century needs and aimed at bringing out the unique capabilities of each student. 

            Faculty noted that the policy envisages broad based, multi-disciplinary, holistic  education with flexible curricula, creative combinations of subjects, integration of vocational education and  multiple entry and exit points with appropriate certification.  An Academic Bank of Credit is to be established for digitally storing academic credits earned from different  HEIs so that these can be transferred and counted towards final degree earned. Under NEP 2020, a gender-responsive educational curriculum has been proposed which will reverse gender bias and discrimination within the educational system and society.

            Multidisciplinary Education and Research Universities (MERUs), at par with IITs, IIMs, to  be set up as models  of best multidisciplinary education of global standards in the country. The National Research Foundation will be created as an apex body for fostering a strong research culture and building research capacity across higher education. 

            The interactive session was organised under the guidance of Prof Raj Kumar, Vice Chance;llor , PU who has been making efforts to make PU focus on research and innovation as key pillars of its competencies. He has mandated all departments to conduct awareness sessions and develop a future roadmap for successful implementation of NEP. Under his leadership, PU has been comducting frequent SDPs and FDPs  on this theme since 2020.

            Prof Nishi Sharma, Director UIAMS noted that successful implementation of NEP requires a transformation of traditional methods of teaching, learning discourse, and resources. UIAMS is ideally poised to implement it as there is tremendous flexibility inbuilt in the system and faculty has been undertaking pioneering work. Syllabus of UIAMS is already in line with the sectoral requirements to enhance employability quotient of students and is being revisited every three years.


The ideals, spirit and essence of NEP 2020 should not be lost in unnecessary hurdles or minute details but facilitative in nature to maintain the
standard of higher education, all the universities irrespective of whether it is state or centre university should be governed by same rules and regulations and if there is a hindrance in the uniform implementation of the state due to meagre resources/ financial etc., that can be compensated with centre aid.

            Prof. Sanjeev Kumar Sharma noted that P.U. has been successful in creating 7 different verticals and integrating science labs: This has led to their enhanced utilization and enhanced revenue, lower maintenance costs It was further noted that a National Higher Education Qualification Framework (NHEQF) can help for Effective implementation of CBCS system/ multidisciplinary courses along with renewed Focus on Blended learning, by integrating E-learning and M-learning into the traditional mode. There is a need for focus on assessment and accreditation as per the global standards as our students have a global playing field. Uniform National Grading system for certificate, degree and diploma courses can enhance placement of PU students.
