Dr. (Mrs.) Pankaj Mittal, Secretary General, AIU said, “COVID -19 enabled us to face the practical aspects of education system in India. She suggested that within coming two months, Higher education institutes in India should be ready with technical infrastructure, capacity building of teachers and faculty staff, evaluate cost effective online platforms where education can be imparted, assessment and evaluation system should be streamlined, placement and internship opportunities should be identified, national and international collaboration should be made for students and counseling and mental health session should be organized to culturally  engage students.

Dr. H. Chaturvedi, Director, Birla Institute (BIMTECH) and Alternate President, EPSI, India said, “ With more than 40 million students in higher education space in India, and more than 1.45 lakh teachers, India lacks personal touch in communicating with each other. In coming years, education institutes should be empathetic towards students who lack technology and are facing monetary issues in their families.

Dr. D.P. Goyal, Director, IIM, Shillong said , “ Students ,faculties and parents are in tremendous pressure of adopting this new model of education so we can assume that it is still under testing phase. To transform the existing education system, we need to be agile, adaptive and innovate in our approach and mindset. Faculties need to sensitize and trusted. Education has no meaning, if it is not value based education system. Being humble, honest and humane in our approach, it is the biggest COVID-19 learning.”

Dr. Sandeep Sancheti, Vice Chancellor, SRM Institute, Chennai said, “We need to rediscover our lives, ourselves rather than running the blind rat race of growth and competition. Heartfulness is a simple approach to relax and reduce anxiety, improve self-awareness and motivation, and generate kindness.  Driving it with a purpose in the educational space is important to cure most of the societal ills with just one pill. Heartfulness in education comes with passion, and seems to be amalgamation of everything we do in our lives. As an educator, I advice to focus on efficiency, effectiveness, diversity, he said.

Dr. Bhimaraya Metri, Director, IIM Tiruchirappalli said, “Heartful leadership is all about putting others first. In this way, leaders will create leaders hence, adopting influencer based model rather the control based model. The future belongs to those, who think about ALL BEING and not just human being.”

Dr. Elizabeth, Editor in Chief, Trainer & Curriculum Development, Heartfulness Institute, India referred Aristotle who said, “Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” This is where Heartfulness is so effective – in educating the heart. And it is infinitely scalable, and available to students the world over. This way, as educators, we become enablers of the future generations. Emotional intelligence is important to serve the humanity. So, values, emotions, ethics, heartfulness come when we develop qualities of heart. We need to develop the ability of letting go and need to focus on our inner mind for continuous development.”

Mr. Kamal Singh, Executive Director, UN Global Compact Network, India said, “This is a joint Forum of UN GCNI, IIHMR University Jaipur, and the Heartfulness Institute.  Higher Education leaders today, more than ever before, have a great responsibility to drive the much-needed changes across the entire education ecosystem. In order to transform education at large, higher education leaders may find Heartfulness-focused leadership to be quite a pragmatic approach.”

Dr. Ravi Gupta, Founder, CEO & Editor-in-Chief, Elets Technomedia, said “There is a huge gap in existing education system and the real societal issues of India. If the education system operates parallel with government policies, NGO’s, then we would be able to bring the required transformation.”

Dr. Geoffrey Clemants, Chairman, Commonwealth Infrastructure Partners, London, UK, while appreciating the India education system, said, that it has deep traditions of knowledge and skills. India should look for global leadership in the domain of higher education and it will inevitably emerge as a world known leader in transform education.
