He emphasized the need for equipping the teachers with teaching pedagogies to ignite a passion for learning in students and inculcate in them the expertise they need to succeed in the innovation economy."Change does not necessarily assure progress, but progress implacably requires change', said he adding that the education scenario has undergone an overhaul in the last decade as technology has made inroads into the sector with the promise of actively engaging students in the learning process and the teacher has become more of a facilitator in the entire teaching-learning gamut”, said Gill.
