Abstract

Teachers build the future generations, but what if ‘teachers to be’ have lost the learning? The suspension of physical instruction due to the pandemic, left the preservice teachers with the learning loss and thus led to other psycho-academic issues. It is necessary to know how they have coped up psychologically and academically post-pandemic. With this motive we conducted an online survey on the preservice teachers (n=75), from a teacher education institute in a private university, to understand the psychological and learning issues among the pre-service teachers’ and their coping preferences. The research aims to find out (i) the Pre- service teachers’ preferences in post-pandemic education regrading: Coping Learning Loss, Improving Learning Environment & Continuing Teacher Support and (ii) the best implemented ‘learner and teacher level strategies’ to overcome learning loss due to COVID-19. In the light of the objectives, the survey results indicate that pre-service teachers made to cope up with the learning loss incurred due to COVID 19 pandemic by altering their study habits, increased focus on mental and physical health, self-motivation activities, learning new technology skills, managing digital resources, and developing group work skills. Improving learning environment can be effective in coping up, by providing infrastructural, physical and technology resources, communication clarity in expectations, teacher training, and capacity building of learners for hybrid education. The learners’ expectations from teachers to cope up with learning loss includes curriculum reforms for hybrid learning, project-based methods, flexible approach, game-based learning, academic support, personal consultation, personalized teaching and flexibility in assessments.

Ms. Usha Sharma & Dr. Kalpana Kharade
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.11312128
Abstract
Certificate
India has rich cultural traditions which is deeply ingrained in the fabric of the society. Under this cultural mosaic we now come across the discourses of existence of LGBTQ+ community. In the heteronormative society, the target of achieving peaceful co-existence for people of all genders and diversities is a challenging task. We need to sow the seeds of developing empathy and tolerance for everyone right from a very young age. The mission of fostering LGBTQ+ inclusion needs to be initiated through sensitization of teachers towards people of all genders and sexuality. One of the most significant factors could be to bring LGBTQ+ inclusive content in classroom and let children express their opinions in these discussions .However the discussions of gender and sexual orientation needs to be comfortable topic for both students and teachers. Hence the main task here is to convince the pre-service teacher about the urgent need for designing and implementing a contextual LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum in our classrooms. The present qualitative study is a one shot case study which aims to understand the teacher experiences in transacting LGBTQ+ inclusive curriculum. The analysis of responses will help to give implications to stake holders for creating a safe LGBTQ+ inclusive classroom.

ANCIENT INDIAN GURUKUL EDUCATION SYSTEM- LEARNINGS FROM THE PAST FOR A NEW DAWN
Ms. Manjula Warrier & Dr. Deepa Sharma
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.12926807
Abstract
Certificate
In ancient times India was a major player in learning and education. It is no secret that individuals seeking high-quality education travelled to India from the Middle East, Europe, and Portugal. One of the most well-known educational programmes ever implemented in India is the Gurukul system. This type of residential schooling dates back to around 5000 BC (https://leverageedu.com/blog/gurukul-education-system/).
A student (shisha) would approach a teacher (Guru) under this educational system to request enrolment at the event of acceptance, the student would reside at the teacher's home. The Gurukul was actually a teacher's house and the Guru was the centre, where students lived until they completed their education. Student equality was a top priority in Gurukul, and gurus (teachers) and shishas (students) lived in the same house or near each other. This relationship between Guru and Shishya was so blessed that no fee was charged from the disciples. However, students had to offer Guru Dakshina, which was considered a sign of respect to the teacher, in the form of special tasks that had to be performed according to the teacher's instructions. (Chadwani, 2019). Apart from learning from the Guru, the students helped with all the household chores and developed an emotional bond with the Guru. The Guru taught important subjects such as mathematics, science, philosophy, and metaphysics. Communication took place in Sanskrit. The training was not just reading books and memorizing information, but was practical and connected to nature and real-life situations. The aim was the overall development of students, including cognitive, physical and mental health. This helped students to apply their knowledge in practice to find solutions to real-world problems. (Chadwani, 2019)
Every year, while residing at the Guru's residence, his disciple acquired every knowledge and skill. In contrast to the current Guru Shishya Parampara, which is organised, this instruction was rigorous yet unstructured. Even now, there is still a knowledge exchange between Gurus and Shishyas, but it is a restricted, impersonal, subject-specific, and purely technical interchange. There is either very little or no emphasis on developing the human perspective and a holistic approach. (https://santoshyogainstitute.com/the-ancient-gurukul-system-of-india/)

Iqra Rasheed & Dr. Mohammad Amin Dar
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.12927168
Abstract
Certificate
Due to centuries-long natural and man-made calamities, Kashmir is largely unknown for the hazards it poses. People both within and outside the valley talk frequently about its scenic beauty but are not rightly aware of Its horrifying disaster profile, and the big losses. As such adequate awareness on disaster is one of the prime fields of education. Though Govt. has the responsibility to take care of the disaster threats but it has many limitations therefore given the huge threats the work of Govt. needs to be supplemented. This paper aims at exploring the role of NGOs to optimize the efforts to educate the common masses to face disasters systematically to promote a disaster resilient society and to reduce losses on account of disasters. Like other states in India, Kashmir also is developing a new culture of NGOs to supplement Government efforts in different fields. NGOs have a wide reach & faster response to situations because of many factors and so can be very effective to sensitize the issues of disaster management and educate & prepare the common folk to handle the situations betterly, hence it is a topic of essential reference.

Ms. Divya Rajiv Khurana
DOI : 10.5281/ERJ.12930977
Abstract
Certificate
Bank, in fact is just like a heart in the economic structure and the capital provided by it is like blood in it. Banks play a very important role in the economic life of nations. The banking sector in India is passing through tough competition and has undergone tremendous change. In India, the Financial Sector Reforms was started in 1992. Across the globe, the Banking sector acts as the catalyst for each country’s economy. Banks face several risks in conducting their business, and how well these risks are understood and managed is a key driver behind profitability. A banker is very cautious while lending because he is not lending money out of his capital. A major portion of the money lent, comes from the deposits received from the public and these deposits are mostly repayable on demand.
This paper also traces the menace in Non-Performing Assets of financial cooperatives in other countries. The rise in NPAs has become the burning issue and the threatening factor to the banking institutions in general and Cooperative Banking System in particular. Increasing trend in NPAs of Cooperative Banks had become a major cause of concern. During the year 2003-04, two-fold increase in NPAs was noticed at the SCBs level due to the low recovery in lower tiers. Banks, at present, experience considerable difficulties in recoveries of loans and enforcement of security charged to them. A proper sequencing of the reforms is essential to its success and what is more important is the internal management practice prevailing in the Banking industries to manage the Non-Performing Assets portfolio.
