It is said that leaders are born through heritage; the future leaders are going to be the product of the present and prophet of the future, invariably embodying the past. EIILM-Kolkata is poised to sensitise the intrinsic elements of leadership in you — connecting that with the global past, focusing on the decades and century ahead.

Digito-Physical: The New Global Normal

Essay · Prof. (Dr.) R. P. Banerjee

The scale of Corona reversed modern living from “inside out to outside in”. The basic philosophy of socialisation — built on friendship, mutual understanding, cooperation and trust, and on physical proximity for accomplishing work — was reversed through a hygiene dictum of social distancing.

It is in this context that all forms of print, digital, social and other communication echoed a view of grave despair and gloom about the world ahead. Though that view was drawn from the immediate past and the current run of days, it requires a serious review — to project the most optimum picture of the future of the world ahead.

Transformations in teaching and pedagogy

There have been fundamental transformations in the mode of teaching and its pedagogy. At EIILM-Kolkata these have been adopted in four ways:

  1. Teachers adopted efficient and conversant digital technology to reach all students across the curriculum, university-plus activities, interactive workshops and reversible presentations between teachers and students.
  2. The Institute continuously ran web seminars on a domestic and global scale, involving professors from the United States, Europe, Asia and different parts of India.
  3. Teaching pedagogy was redesigned so that for each focused concept the teacher offers a hands-on workshop and a reverse presentation by the students.
  4. Each class generates a blind feedback system, so that teacher and student have better and more cohesive learning in the next session.

Beyond digital

In the prevailing situation, the mindset of students on professional courses should be reoriented towards a higher degree of adaptability, greater frequency of contact with mentors and the learning system, and a higher degree of commitment towards academics.

The new era of the economy is being termed the digital economy. In this digital era, with the disruptions caused by the pandemic, historical bondage on data flow and policy prospects cannot yield proper results. The time has come to think and act beyond digital.
