Impact is no longer in the thousands but in the millions, powered Nandhini Shanmugham by the sheer interconnectedness that technology spawns. Creative Director Kelvin Tee A 2017 report from the Business & Sustainable Development Commission pegs the “market opportunity” of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at USD $12 Senior Multimedia Designer trillion. A significant chunk of this, it is estimated, will come from technology-enabled Joseph Lontoc innovations and solutions.

The ordinarily-named Internet of Things is a virtual hold-all for technologies Eugine Nisperos not captured by narrower nomenclature, and it too promises to deliver solutions toward Roberto Guerrero achieving the SDGs. Countries are creating digital policies, proactively formulating rules for the use of drones in agriculture, and looking at ways to stay on top of technology. Director of Business Development Aru David Amidst all this hullabaloo lies the typical social organisation: mostly befuddled by all the Marketing Team hype; yet curious for the potential to completely transform their work.

  • Information and Communications Technology in the Education Sector in India
    CSD Working Paper Series: Towards a New Indian Model of Information and Communications Technology-Led Growth and Development Information and Communications Technology in the Education Sector in India ICT India Working Paper #3 Nirupam Bajpai, John Biberman, and Anchal Sharma January 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY India has successfully achieved quantity benchmarks for education by making schooling accessible to all and making rapid strides in improving attendance. Next, India must improve the quality of its educational system, which is limited by large class sizes, limited teacher expertise, poor access to resources, and teacher absenteeism. ICT provides tools to address all these challenges. Historically, ICT has been used to improve educational coverage. Educational radio programs have been produced since 1972, and corporate initiatives have introduced computers to classrooms since the 1990s. Most radically, India even launched a satellite to broadcast educational content to remote schools off the grid. Yet the digital revolution provides the greatest opportunity for ICT to contribute to improved education and equality of opportunity across India. ICT has been applied to improve education in several ways. Teachers can gain access to improved lesson plans and teaching resources that incorporate multimedia and best pedagogical practices. Similarly, these platforms are used to deliver interactive teacher training that uses data to analyze teachers’ strengths and weaknesses. Data can also be used to break down and isolate challenges for students or entire classrooms. Finally, communication tools embedded in these platforms provide teachers, students and parents with a more collaborative classroom experience. The MHRD’s DIKSHA platform, powered by EkStep, is currently the most comprehensive and widespread societal platform in use.
