Academia Innovative Practices 2014 – 2015 Academia Innovative practices 2014 – 2015 1. Seminar on Universal Humanism In Literature Organised by Department of Bengali on 23- 08-2014 Concepts and Objectives: Worldwide it is notice that many of the Indigenous languages are dying out as reported by the UNO. It is a common knowledge that students of today do not prefer to study Languages as a subject. The objective of the Seminar is to encourage the young generation to study their language. Universal humanism is a comprehensive world view which embraces human reason, metaphysical naturalism, altruistic morality and distributive justice. Humanism is a democratic and ethical life stance, which affirms that human beings have the right and responsibility to give meaning and shape to their own lives. It stands for the building of a more humane society through an ethic based on human and other natural values. The concept of Humanism has evolved over the years, Human – centred philosophy can be found also in the circa 1500 BCE in the Lokayata system of Indian philosophy. Nasadiya Sukta, a passage in the Rig Veda contains one of the first recorded assertion of agnosticism. In the sixth century BC the Buddha expressed in Pali Literature a sceptical attitude towards the supernatural. Another instance of ancient humanism as an organised system of thought is found in the Gathas of Zarathustra, composed between 1,000 BC- 600 BC in Iran. The Indian Renaissance of Humanism flourished in thought,deeds and words from time immemorial. The finest expressions of humanism came to embellish the writings of writers such as Ram Mohan Roy, Nazrul Islam, Bankim Chandra Chatterjee, Sarat Chandra Bhattacherjee and Rabindranath Tagore who came to be recognized as the global ambassador for Humanistic values. In the Context of North East India, the spirit and ideas of Humanism came to touch the western educated writers, the first group of which received their higher education from Bengal. Laxminath Bezbarooah and Babu Jibon Roy and u Soso Tham became the torch bearers of this tradition in this region. Humanism and Humanist ideas came to influence the plains and hills of North East India. Despite its widespread influence the exploration and exposition of the same has been limited, therefore a national seminal on the theme and its north eastern dimension is imperative. The Department of Bengali, Lady Keane College, Shillong , is therefore proposing to organise a One Day National Seminar on the theme “ Universal Humanism in literature on the 23rd August, 2014. The following Resource Persons have consented to participate in the above Seminar as Resource Persons: Prof. Bharati Ray, former M.P and Pro – Vice Chancellor, Calcutta University, Kolkata Prof. Amitava Roy, Shakespeare Professor, Director of Shakespeare Studies, Rabindra Bharati University.

Stress management refers to a wide spectrum of techniques & psychotherapies aimed at minimizing stress. The first step of stress management is identifying the various sources and manifestations of stress. Towards this purpose, Stress Journal- a daily record of stressful events and reactions- is a helpful tool. Questionnaires were handed out to all participants to gauge stress levels and hands-on activities were carried out for participants to introspect and to help them resolve stress-related issues. All in all, it was a constructive exercise, and as teachers who undergo stress daily, the workshop proved to be extremely beneficial for everyone.

  • Meghalaya Higher Elducation
    INTRODUCTION Education is the driving force of economic and social development in any country. Considering this, it is necessary to find ways to make education of good quality, accessible and affordable to all, using the latest technology available. Vision: To realize the state’s human resource potential to its fullest in the Higher Education sector, with equity and inclusion. Mission: • Provide greater opportunities of access to Higher Education with equity to all the eligible persons and in particular to the vulnerable sections. • Expand access by supporting existing institutions, establishing new institutions, aimed at removing imbalances that exist at present. • Initiate policies and programmes for strengthening research and innovations. • Promote the quality of Higher Education by investing in infrastructure and faculty, promoting academic reforms, improving governance and institutional restructuring. Goals: A. Higher Education:- I. Improving the Quality and Reach of Higher Education:- Issues:- → Despite massive expansion of higher education, quality has been a crying concern as reflected in the reports of the various committees appointed from time to time by University Grants Commission. → Quality, access and equity should go together in a pluralistic society like ours. → Access without quality can only augment the problem of unemployment and unrest among the educated youth. → Quality at the level of higher education is to be rated on the basis of the following criteria: • Employability • Innovative research output • Social sensitivity and emotional maturity Approach (Steps proposed to be taken to ensure quality with inclusiveness): → Right student for each course:- • The talent inventory should actually start from the preprimary level so that when the student reaches the level of higher education, the student and the parents will be clear in their mind as to which subject the student should accommodate.
