“Working hard is the responsibility of students whereas guiding them is the responsibility of guardians and teachers. Teachers and students skilled with latest technologies such as Machine Learning, Automation, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Cyber Security, Cloud Computing, will get better results. Lucknow Municipal Corporation (LMC) has started preparing for the launch of Smart Classes Concept in its schools and training of teachers for the same… Along with this, the fund allocated for smart city projects and other schemes can also be used if needed to improve the education sector. Our effort is to ensure that Smart Classes are being implemented in the Corporation Schools as soon as possible.”

Education needs reformation and private institutions should find platforms which will enable them to work for students. There were dropouts from schools, we arranged women teachers for the girl students which encouraged them to attend schools. Blended Learning defines the importance of coordination between various aspects important for imparting quality education to youth. Such an education will not only help the youth to build a better future but also help the nation to develop.

“To improve the quality of education we have started smart classes in the government schools. Projectors have been installed in 200 schools recently. Good quality furniture has also been made available for the students. School infrastructure has been improved, every school has toilets with running water supply and drinking water.”

Selva Kumari JDistrict Magistrate, Etawah,Government of Uttar Pradesh

“Education is a continuous and creative process. Its aim is to develop the capacities which are latent in human nature leading to enrichment and progress of a society. A child has three classrooms: first is the home, second is the school and the third is the society. A school is the lighthouse of the society to provide meaningful education, spiritual direction, guidance and leadership to students, parents and the society in general.”

“A teacher is like a father who imparts wisdom to the ignorant. A teacher should be given respect equivalent to a father. We teach our children in our schools that everything can be achieved by knowledge only. We believe that among the greatest services that can possibly rendered by a man to the almighty God is the education of children.”
