The Editorial Committee thank and welcome Ms.
Nivedita Rana, to be the guest editor for this
issue.Her grip on education and issues pertaining to
education, student development, comunity develop-
ment & Skill Building has brought a new flavour to
this issue.
NEW DELHI: Central Board of
Secondary Education (CBSE) has
started the registration process for
Class 9th to 12th students for board
exams 2020-21. This year,
because of the Covid-19
pandemic, precious time has
already been lost. As schools are
still closed, more time will be
required by the schools to
complete all processes which are
required for examination related
activities.
Providing sufficient time and
guidance to the schools, CBSE, for
the first time this year, has brought
out a comprehensive document
titled "Framework and Significant
Guidelines in the Context of the
Secondary and the Senior School
Certificate Examinations - 2020-
21" listing out the Standard
Operating Procedures for all the
activities to be performed by the
schools and students/parents
during the entire academic
session.
Regarding the conduct of theory
and practical examinations, the
CBSE will inform all concerned
principals and schools separately.
Parents/Students be made
aware by the schools that to make
any request, they shall contact the
school .

CBSE registration for board exams 2021 begins, important points for schools
NEW DELHI: The Centre on
Monday issued guidelines for
reopening of schools, stating that
states/UTs may decide after
October 15 in a graded manner
with students being allowed only
with the consent of parents. There
will be flexibility in attendance
norms with students having the
option for online classes.
The guidelines, issued by the
ministry of education (MoE),
included thorough cleaning and
disinfection of premises,
flexibility in attendance, no
assessment for up to three weeks,
and ensuring a smooth transition
from home-based schooling
during the Covid-19 lockdown to
holding classes in schools. It has
also asked the states/ UTs to frame
their own SOPs for health and
safety precautions based on their
local conditions.“Schools must
arrange and implement for
thorough cleaning and
disinfecting of all areas, furniture,
equipment, stationery, storage
places, water tanks, kitchen,
canteen, washrooms, laboratories,
and libraries,etcon the school
campus and ensure airflow in
indoor spaces,” said the ministry.
“Schools may be encouraged to
make their own SOPs based on the
guidelines issued by states/UTs,
keeping in view the safety and
social distancing norms, and
ensuring that the notices, posters,
messages, communication to
parents in this regard are
prominently displayed and
disseminated,” it said.
The ministry also
recommended that schools adopt
flexible attendance and sick-leave
policies. “Flexible attendance and
sick leave policies may be
developed and implemented to
encourage students and staff to
stay at home when sick. Students
may attend schools only with the
written consent of parents.
Students may opt for online
classes rather than physically
attend school.
“There shall be no assessment
up to 2-3 weeks of school
reopening and use of ICT and
online learning shall continue to be
encouraged.” Classes in schools
and colleges across the country
have remained suspended since
March 16 to contain the spread of
coronavirus. While restrictions
were gradually eased in different
phases of “Unlock”, educational
institutions continue to remain
closed. The latest unlock
guidelines allow reopening of
schools and other educational
institutions outside containment
zones after October 15, but the
final decision has been left with the
states/UTs. The SOP also lists out
the role and responsibility of the
state/UT education department,
school heads, teachers, and
guardians in line with the
UNICEF guidelines for Covid-19.
Govt issues guidelines to reopenschools, flexibility on attendance
NEW DELHI: The Delhi
government has urged the Central
Board of Secondary Education
(CBSE) to not conduct the board
exams next year before May and
further reduce syllabus as schools
continue to remain closed due to
the COVID-19 pandemic. In a
letter to the CBSE, the
Directorate of Education (DoE)
said due to the COVID-19
pandemic a major chunk of time
of 2020-21 academic session
could not be utilized for the
classroom teaching-learning
process as schools in Delhi are
closed till October 31.
"Though online, semi-online
teaching-learning activities are
being conducted through live
classes as well as worksheets or
activity sheets it cannot replace
the physical classroom teaching-
learning process," the DoE said in
the letter. " It is requested that the
ongoing academic session be
extended beyond March and
CBSE board exams be conducted
not before May 2021.
Consequently, the next academic
session may commence from
July 2021," it added.
The department has requested
to further reduce the syllabus for
the current session, keeping the
COVID-19 pandemic condition
and the leftover time available in
the session for classroom
teaching.
"The CBSE had reduced 30
percent of the syllabus in all
subjects in anticipation of the
opening of schools in July but
schools in Delhi are closed till
October 31. It is also requested
that sample question papers
aligned with the further-reduced
syllabus for the session 2020-21
may be prepared as per the latest
question paper design and made
available for the students" the
DoE said.
"Practical and project work are
an integral part of any subject . It is
pertinent to give students hands-
on practice for the same for a
sufficient period. It is requested
that the board may provide
detailed guidelines regarding the
conduct of these practical exams
under such conditions or any
other alternate mode to replace
the practical part of the subject," it
added.
Postpone CBSE board exams to May 2021,also reduce syllabus: Delhi govt tells CBSE
The year 2020can be rightly
termed as the most challenging
period that the present generation
has ever seen or should ever see.
The impact could be seen
everywhere. In the field of
education, the whole school
experience went haywire. With
school being locked indefinitely
the classroom chatter disappeared
and there was a total shift on
online education or virtual
teaching.
This suddenly became the focal
point and acquired the status of
being the only and of course the
most lucrative method to keep
children academically inclined
during the pandemic phase.
Suddenly the teachers were doing
the daunting task of creating a new
structure coming to terms with the
new reality and making a new
world. Hence change become the
new normal developing and
implementing a curriculum in the
current situation was the most
crucial task. Online training of the
teachers, the use of amazing
hardware, learning new
techniques was made the norm.
Initial hiccups paved the way for a
band of teachers who were
brimming with confidence and
being tech-savvy was no longer a
virtual reality. The journey had
just begun. Our focus was not
only learning objectives but
tangible and concrete learning
outcomes.
Lesson plans, supplementary
material to enhance learning were
meticulously prepared and the
result of the effort of the teachers
was tested through online
evaluation of students learning.
The whole experience was
enriching. So it hence proved that
tough times may seem to be the
darkest hours but through that, we
get the strength to discover
brilliant light within ourselves that
can never be dimmed. During the
lockdown, the teaching fraternity
got the opportunity to unlock their
dormant abilities,potential, talent,
and developed a successful and
unique support system for the
students. The virtual classes are
not a replacement of physical
classes but the true effort of the
teachers made it invigorating.
Online training of the teachers
helped them to equip with the
fundamentals of the virtual
education system. I feel this
system is here to stay and is
irreplaceable as even when things
normalize the blended form of
learning is going to continue.It has
given the teachers more control
over their knowledge, sharing
strategies, and integrating new
pedagogical tools thus improving
productivity.
It is so true the pandemic is
going to have a long and
unprecedented impact on our
existence.This impact is going to
be physical, mental, global, and
local.It is the time when we
redefine our relationship with the
outside world,with each other,
and also between the teacher and
the taught.In the world today
which seems governed by smart
technology I wish that our
children realize that they should
take charge of their learning but
with discretion.The schools and
the educationists have a major
role to play because only then only
we can envisage a country where
the schools become the
fountainheads of a meaningful
education that expand beyond
textbooks and is more
experiential.
Education and theCOVID-19 Pandemic
NEW DELHI: All schools in
Delhi will continue to be closed
till further orders in view of the
COVID-19 situation, Deputy
Chief Minister Manish Sisodia
announced on Wednesday.
Parents are not in favour of
reopening schools either, Sisodia
said at an online press conference.
The Delhi government had
earlier announced that schools
will remain closed till October 31,
2020. "We keep getting feedback
from parents that they are
concerned about whether it is safe
to reopen schools or not.
Wherever schools have reopened,
COVID-19 cases among children
have risen. So we have decided
that as of now schools in the
national capital will not reopen.
They will continue to be closed till
further orders," Sisodia said.
Universities and schools across
the country have been closed
since March 16, when the Centre
announced a countrywide
classroom shutdown as part of
measures to contain the spread of
the novel coronavirus. A
nationwide lockdown was
imposed on March 25. While
several restrictions have been
eased in different 'unlock' phases,
educational institutions continue
to remain closed.
Delhi schools to remain closedtill further orders: Manish Sisodia
It is so true the pandemic is going to have a longand unprecedented impact on our existence.Thisimpact is going to be physical,mental,global, andlocal.It is the time when we redefine ourrelationship with the outside world,with eachother, and also between the teacher and thetaught.

Emerging Courses: Want a career in the gaming industry?New Delhi:Indian society has
long been focused on producing
doctors, engineers, and lawyers.
But with the dawn of e-sports and
the rising popularity of mobile
gaming in India, a plethora of new
opportunities in the gaming
sector are up for grabs. Before
you choose a course or a career in
this sector, remember that game
development and gaming are two
entirely different things. While
the former takes a lot of hard
work, the right skills, and
persistence to deliver the latter is
a mode of enjoyment.
Game development requires
commitment and perseverance
just like any other field and if you
are creative and passionate
enough and possess the right
skills, you might just be cut out for
this industry.
Who all can apply for such
courses?
If you are someone who enjoys
creating content for games, it
might be worth taking note of the
fact that the gaming industry is
always in need of three core
development disciplines — game
level designers, programmers,
and artists. The respective core
competencies for these three
positions are as follows:
Game Level Designers- Interest
in learning and understanding
human psychology as well as
basics of design
Programmers- Interest in
learning and understanding
scripting/coding, science, and
math.
Artists- Interest in learning and
understanding 2D/3D art and
their production pipeline
elements. Apart from these three,
there are a variety of other roles
that are not exclusive to the
gaming industry, yet are crucial
for the functioning of gaming
studios such as producers,
lawyers, writers, composers,
directors, testers, recruiters, etc.
Where can one apply for the
courses in gaming and what one
can expect to learn during the
course?
Most courses exclusively
designed around game
development focus on skill
development relating to the core
competencies of game level
design, programming, and art. To
that extent, these courses teach
game level design, UI/UX
design, programming, 2D/3D art,
and their production pipeline.
Quite a few universities and
colleges across India have started
offering courses on game
development including the Asian
Institute of design, National
Institute of Design, IIFA
Multimedia, Bharti Vidyapeeth
University, Maya Academy of
Advanced Cinematic (MAAC),
iPixio Animation College,
Lovely Professional University,
and many other design colleges.
The courses range from a
diploma, certificate level
programs to bachelor’s and
master’s level courses.
Career prospects in India and
Abroad
Career prospects in game
development are concerned,
there are opportunities available
all over the world, most notably
in North America, Western
Europe, and Japan. India, as a
young market, has an as-of-yet
untapped potential waiting to be
explored, given its rich culture
and traditions.
Students starting as interns can
expect a stipend ranging from Rs
15,000 to Rs 30,000 per month.
For a full time, the pay package
ranges from 2.4 lakh to 7.6 lakh
LPA for candidates with 3-4 years
of work experience and basis the
quality they deliver. Furthermore,
taking into account the industry
trends, it is seen that experienced
professionals can even make as
much as a crore. This is the reason
why more and more students are
getting drawn towards gaming as
a career choice.
Now, the timing is just right for
India to explore this opportunity
as it’s young population discovers
the joys of gaming and e-sports.
More than half of India’s current
population is under the age of 25
and that underscores that market
opportunity that exists today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi
too has called for the
development of indigenous toys
and online games.Game
development is in a nascent field.
About 23,000 job opportunities
are available across 200 start-ups
in India today and the number is
all set to grow rapidly over the
next few years. The market value
of India’s gaming industry was
estimated at around Rs 62 billion
in 2019 which is expected to go
up to over 250 billion rupees by
2024.Additionally, various
studies have indicated that
gaming can lead to enhanced
hand-eye coordination and
instant decision-making skills.
Games further equip young
minds with cognitive
understanding and simulate
adaptations towards various
consequences as well.
New Delhi: The higher education
ecosystem should reflect concern
for gender justice in terms of
enrollment and contribution,
especially in technical
institutions, said President Ram
Nath Kovind while inaugurating
the visitor’s conference on
Implementation of NEP 2020:
Higher Education.
While addressing the
conference digitally, the
President said that even though
the new education policy of 2020
focuses on ‘equity’ and
‘inclusion’, the number of female
students is “extremely low in
Institutions of National
Importance” and particularly in
technical education. “This needs
to be corrected,” he remarked and
said, “higher education
ecosystem should reflect concern
for gender justice in terms of
enrolment and contribution,
especially in technical
institutions”.
To increase access to
education, especially during the
pandemic, the President said that
the institutes need to focus on the
ICT skills “to meet the challenges
in providing quality education for
all”.
“Universities and institutes of
higher education should be
centers of innovation. They
should provide innovative
solutions to national and local
problems. Community
participation and use of local
resources should be encouraged
for providing solutions to local
problems,” he said highlighting
that NEP focuses on
implementation, innovation, and
critical thinking.
He further said that the
implementation of NEP will help
India regain its position as the
global education hub “India was
a globally respected education
hub in ancient times. Universities
at Takshashila and Nalanda had
iconic status. But today, India’s
higher education institutions do
not get high positions in global
rankings. Effective
implementation of the NEP 2020
is likely to restore India’s glory as
a great center of learning,” the
President said.

Afg³f»ffB³f dOXdÀMÑ¢MX SXû´fdÀIYd´fÔ¦f ̈ f`Ôd´f¹f³fdVf´f 2020 The new normal of COVID-19
includes the entire education
system moving online,due to
which online classes took place
for all of us as well. Most people
would normally think that it does
not make much of a difference but
the truth is that it is entirely
different, the classes these days
are way too different.Teachers
can’t teach that easily because
they can’t interact with students
and students can’t interact with
them. Incidentally, as students,
we also realized how vulnerable
we become because of the
network issues completely out of
our control. The experience of
learning was often ruined
because of network issues and
lag. Some students face problems
with their devices too.However,
these issues also provide an easy
escape from online classes,
mostly people fake these issues
and use them as an excuse. for
example, students pretend that
their mic and camera are not
working. They can’t join because
of network issues. Unfortunately,
because of this the students who
genuinely have these issues are
blamed which is wrong.
At first online classes were
difficult but now we are
comfortable with them but
still,the school was much more
fun than online classes will ever
be, one main reason for that is the
joy of personal interactions one
could have with the teachers and
students made school a better
place to learn and have fun. But
some huge advantages of online
classes are that you can wake up
and attend the class directly, you
do not need to bathe, brush your
teeth and get ready early in the
morning. The next advantage is
that you can learn from anywhere
while traveling, at home, in a
hotel,etc, and one more
advantage of online classes is that
you can make excuses like my
dog ate my homework copy so
can’t show it. Jokes apart eagerly
looking forward to joining real
classes in school.

COVID has suddenly brought an
enormous difference in
everybody’s lifehowever, I feel
the biggest challenge during this
period is faced by the high school
students. Their life has completely
changed from proper routines to
lazy mornings. Earlier it was not
very big of a task to wake up at 6
am and get ready for school.
Things felt normal and at ease but
Covid has turned this ease into a
complete series of discomfort and
stress for the students. I feel even
though online classes have been
on track but the atmosphere at
home makes it something of a big
anomaly. From parents to
younger siblings everybody has
some or the other task that they
want us to complete during our
classes which is so annoying and
makes it so difficult to concentrate
during the virtual class. Perhaps
as a cherry on the cake when we
do get peace from our house it is
the poor network connection of
our teacher which makes it even
more difficult to concentrate.
However, these challenges have
become as they say ‘the new
normal’. Now we can eat during
classes, sleep during classes and
most importantly cheat, which of
course, does has its
disadvantages, but anyhow why
would a student pay attention to
that! But let's look on the brighter
side… we get to spend time with
our parents even though most of it
goes into house cleaning, but still,
it is something fun to do when you
do it together in a family. Even
though I struggle at managing my
time I feel COVID has made me a
critic of myself, which in my
opinion is great. I get to see how
lazy I am being and how much
better I could have done, and so I
strive for it. I think every student
has developed one or the other
technique, which they would have
never adopted in a normal
lifestyle, to cope up with their
work in the pandemic. This is how
nature has challenged us, it has
asked us to work hard even during
difficult situations. As a matter of
fact, I did get to know more about
myself and my family, which I
was very shocked to see I never
noticed during my normal
schedule, but anyhow things do
get great soon, it is just a matter of
time.

ver ninety percent of our mental health is
subconscious. So if we fail to make proper
use of this powerhouse, we condemn to live
within very narrow limits. This conscious mindis
what we are aware of and through the conscious
mind, we program the subconscious. Hence, the
conscious mind becomes like a gateway for your
subconscious. There's the story of Roger
Bannister, ‘The four-minute mile’. In the modern
Olympicsright upto the year 1954,nobody had run
the milein less than four minutes. So all scientists, doctors,
sports peopleused to give reasonswhy you can't run the milein
less than four minutes.They would say your lungs are not big
enough. If you try it, you will have a heart attack, and so on. So
everybody's self-talk was I cannot do it, I cannot do it, I cannot
do it. There was a person in England called Roger Bannister.
He was a student of sports, and he said I can do it. He changed
his self-talk,‘I can do it’! The people said you cannot. You are
running the mile in 4minutes and 11 seconds. How will you do
it? He said, ‘No, I will do it.’ And he kept on doing his self-talk,
until one day he crashed through the four-minute mile
barrier,and he ran it in 03:59:04 seconds. Now everybody's
reference point changed to‘it can be done’. So everybody
started sayingit can be done, it can be done. In that very year,
27runnerscrashed through the four-minute mile barrier. And
the next year 235 people did it. Why? Merely because the self-
talk changed.So, is your self-talk making you happy, or is your
self-talk making you sad? Consider a situation like this, there
is a ship with a captainwho is on the deck, who can see. And in
the engine room are the mariners who are not able to see
anything. So the mariners are all very obedient. They will do
what they have been told. Now, the responsibility is on the
captainto give out the right orders, Step on the gas, press the
brakes, and so on. They will do as they have been told, but the
captain is the one who can see. So similarly, the conscious mind
is aware, this is harmful, this is beneficial, and with this
conscious mind, you are sending messages to your
subconscious. Without realizing that you are programming
your subconscious. Now,unfortunately, we write all the wrong
scripts, I can never succeed in life, I am good for nothing, and
so on. Now the conscious mind keeps on saying I can never
succeed in life too and the subconscious becomes
programmed. So the subconscious will always create those
attitudes. Attitudes of pessimism, defeatism. Now somebody
else says, Why is this person is so pessimistic? Because he has
programmed his subconscious in such a manner. So now the
onus is upon the conscious mind to program the subconscious
properly. In other words, you need to be
carefulabout the self-talk that you do. What is self-
talk?It is what you keep on talking to yourself. All
the time it happens you are listening to somebody
and your self-talk begins. What does this person
think….,but he got a point there...,it makes sense,
this is useful knowledge...etc. So we are constantly
talking to ourselves, but we don't realize. It is
programming our subconscious and if one keeps
on talking negative things, talks of pessimism, one
will get programmed like that. Somebody says - do I do self-
talk? We are not aware that we do it, but of course, we all do it
all the time! Even while driving somebody cuts and now his car
is 50 yards away people talk with that driver also, ‘Aee! Why
did you do that?’ they are talking with the driverwho is50 yards
away. And some people talk with the golf ball.."Come on,
come on, come on just one foot left, yes...ahh you did it! They
are talking with the golf ball!So you think they are not
talkingwith themselves? Now, if you want to make your life a
success, and find happiness and fulfillment, in that case,
improve your self-talk. You see, it will make such a big
difference. Henry Ford said‘whether you believe you can do
it,or you believe you cannot do it, either case you are right.
Because if you believe you cannot do it,you will say "I cannot
do it a number of times..and you will not be able to do it’.
My personal observation for my students that when any of
them had to go to give a talk/presentation, and that is the time
their mind would start playing mischief, and eventually make
them nervous. Then a few of them would say' Hey come on,
don't be nervous...don't be nervous. And the mind would get
set! So sportspeople know this that if you want to perform at
the peak level,your conscious mind will not be enough,
because the conscious mind cannot onlycontrol so many
processes at one time. You will need the subconscious as it
works far faster and when it comes into play then it will control,
your musculoskeletal system,and do the rest. So many
processes are happening from the subconscious automatically.
In sports, people do realizethat if they want performance,they
have to program their subconscious. So mostly you will find
that they start talking to themselves when they are playing and
by talking, they bring their mind in the proper position. This is
what programming their subconscious is all about. Now we
have the first tool for programming our subconscious. That is
Self Affirmation, you speak positively to yourself, because as
we know if once our subconscious mind accepts something
good or bad, it begins to execute it. Therefore choose wisely as
we all have the ‘power to choose’. STAY SAFE!
he over-hyped and overrated Covid-
19 also known as SARS-COV-2 has
made many of us highly anxious,
although the disease has only around 2%
mortality rate and a close to 60% recovery
rate. The recovery rate in Delhi state is
almost 90%. Recent research suggests that
up to 95% of the corona virus-positive but
asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic
patients do not require any hospitalization
and recover on their own after an adequate
period of home quarantine or isolation only.
Due to overreaction several such
asymptomatic patients were put in hospital
across India causing a severe shortage of
beds for the seriously ill patients who
needed quick hospitalization and probably
intensive care. Moreover, hospitals began
avoiding women on maternity and patients
with other serious illnesses due to perceived
contagiousness of the disease and caused
some serious collateral damage in return.
Many died awaiting treatment.
What should we do now?
First, we must move from our over-
reactive state to a proactive state. Every
action needs to be a result of thorough
analysis and research. Funding for research
on contagious diseases should be increased
manifolds. Whenever there is an
official press conference at the
topmost level, the Health Minister
or the officials must be
accompanied by Director-
AIIMS, Director-NCDC andDG-
ICMR to send a message to all
citizens that all our decisions are
backed by experts. No need for
countrywide lockdowns at all.
In a hindsight, experts say only one
lockdown of 21 days was enough as a
warning. The successive lockdowns,
proved to be a remedy worse than the
disease, causing widespread pain,
economic contraction, mass-scale
migration, deaths on roads and railway
tracks, and suicides due to depression. We
should also rampup dilapidated primary
and secondary health care systems,across
the country, and ensure the availability of
tertiary care at all district headquarters.
Second, we must move from a
pharmacokinetic focus to a herd immunity-
based approach. This virus-like several
other will decide its timeline. Viruses often
mutate, rendering vaccination and current
pharmaceutical response less effective over
time. The solution lies in opening up
immediately. The countrywide
un-lockdown is a step in the
right direction and is helping us
learn to live with the virus. Let
the young and healthy confront
the parasite and help us bring
about herd immunity across the
nation.
To do this, it is essential to
open schools and colleges
quickly. Research suggests, that lockdowns
have brought with it, depression and
amplification of existing mental illnesses
in young as they were deprived of much
needed physical social interactions. So,
herd immunity will bring with itself both
physical and mental wellness. Colleges and
schools however must prepare their
infrastructure and be ready for staggered
classes, hybrid teaching-learning
approaches, and sanitization of campuses
regularly.
They must also provide masks,
sanitizers, isolation rooms, a Covid-19 help
desk, contactless temperature meters, and a
physician who is permanently available on
the campus. Opening up schools and
colleges will help demystify the disease and
reduce anxiety about it in the general public.
Educational institutions not only serve the
purpose of knowledge creation but also
help in bringing about behavioral changes
in all aspects of life. Universities, Colleges,
and Schools shall work towards spreading
awareness about the parasite, the disease in
its pandemic form, and the precautions to be
undertaken by hosts, like all other literacy
programs. Awareness about the disease
would help us open up public transport
across the country quickly with adequate
precautions in place.
Covid-19 has magnified inequalities in
our country.It has brought to focus on
economic inequalities, digital divide, and
unequal access to healthcare & education
in both urban and rural India. The third and
most important solution for stopping
Covid-19, or for that matter any pandemic,
in future, in its tracks, will be to immediately
design and implement policies for not only
a self-reliant India (Aatma-Nirbhar Bharat)
but also an equal India (Samaanata-Poorna
Bharat) with equal access to employment,
healthcare and educational opportunities
for all. This pandemic has proved that
around the world it is the poor, unaware, and
those without access to healthcare, who

T
oronaviruses are a large family ofviruses that can cause illnessessuch as Severe Acute RespiratorySyndrome (SARS) and the
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome(MERS). A new coronavirus wasoriginated from China in December 2019is known as Severe Acute RespiratorySyndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2). The disease caused by this virus iscalled Covid-19. In March 2020, theWorld Health Organization (WHO)declared the COVID-19 outbreak apandemic.
This disease outbreak started from alocal wholesale market for fish andseafood. In Wuhan city, China a largenumber of infected people were exposedto the wet animal market suggests that ithas a zoonotic origin.
SARS-CoV-2 is enveloped non-segmented, single-stranded RNA virus.79.6% sequence of CoV is the same asSARS-CoV is known as the largestdiscovered RNA viruses.SARS-CoVenters its host cell by binding to the ACE2
(Angiotensin-convertingenzyme) receptor.
The new coronavirusinvades the body through aspike protein. The S proteinlives on the surface of viruscells. This protein binds to areceptor called Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2) on a healthy cell’ssurface. Once attached then the cells fuseand the virus can infect the healthy cell.
Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2receptor is widely distributed on thesurface of human cells throughout thebody, mainly in the lungs. Cells in thelungs are the first to encounter the virus,the primary form of transmission is bybreathing in droplets after an infectedperson has coughed or sneezed.
The cellular protease TMRRSS2 isalso required to allow the entry of thecorona virus into host cells. ACE2receptor is widely distributed on thecapillary epithelium, alveolar type2(AT2) andAT2 cells largely express
TMPRSS2. Bone marrow,spleen, thymus, lymphnodes, and immune cellssuch as macrophages B and Tlymphocytes are negative forACE2.Mesenchymal Stem Cell
Therapy to treatCoronavirus
Many Researchlaboratories are trying so hard to find thetreatment and vaccines for COVID-19 inwhich the Mesenchymal stem celltherapyhas become the mostencouraging field to cure this incurabledisease like coronavirus.Mesenchymalstem cells have attracted attentionbecause these cells have no social andethical boundations, have low invasivenature, and high multiplication rate.Mesenchymal stem cells can be isolatedfrom various sources, includingumbilical cord, adipose tissues, dentalpulp, bone marrow, menstrual blood,fetal liver, and Bichat’s fat pad, WartonJelly, Amniotic fluid, cord blood it can be
stored for future use. MSCs are non-hematopoietic multipotent stromal cells.Mesenchymal stem cells can easilyexpand to volume in a suitable and shortperiod so that they can be used again andagain for new treatments in the future.The safety and efficacy of themesenchymal stem cells have beenauthorized in many clinical trials verywell.
COVID-19 provokes a destroyingimmune overreaction in the body bygenerating a huge amountofinflammatory factors including the so-called cytokine storm (chemokines,cytokines) and immune reactive cells.Cytokine storm can lead to Acute cardiacinjury, Acute Respiratory DistressSyndrome (ARDS), secondary infection,and multisystem failure, which can causedeath. COVID-19 infected patients canbe treated by avoiding the cytokine storm.Mesenchymal stem cell therapy caninhibit the overactivation of the immunesystem and promote endogenous repairby improving the microenvironment.
When Mesenchymal stem cells areintravenously injected in the humanbody, part of Mesenchymal stem cellsaccumulate in the lungs. While the cellstrapped within the lungs, a large numberof soluble mediators including anti-inflammatory cytokines, antimicrobialpeptides, angiogenic growth factors, andextracellular vesicles are released byMesenchymal stem cells which couldprogress the pulmonarymicroenvironment, save alveolarepithelial cells, prevent pulmonaryfibrosis, and progress lung function (28).Mesenchymal stem cells can secretemany types of cytokines or make directinteractions with immune cells includingT cells, B cells, dendritic cells,macrophages, and NK cells. Stem cellsare thought to regulate the inflammatoryresponse and promote tissue repair andregeneration (25).
Mesenchymal stem cells play animportant role as-
1) Immunomodulatory effects2) Multiplication abilities.
Best Stem Cells to treat CoronavirusStem cells available are Amniotic stem
cells, Adipose stem cells, and Umbilicalcord stem cells. Among these, Umbilicalcord stem cells are most attractive for thefollowing reasons.• Stem cells in cord blood are easy tocollect than bone marrow (29).• Umbilical cord stem cells can beextracted noninvasively. No procedure isrequired, unlike adipose and bonemarrow stem cells.• Umbilical cord stem cells are one of therichest sourcesof MSCs.• Umbilical cord stem cell is after birthtissue and is considered as medical waste.• Umbilical cord Mesenchymal stemcells show a gene expression profile moresimilar to that of embryonic stem cellswhich means they have more plasticity,more potency, and faster doubling times.Unlike ESCs they are not tumorigenic.
Among all stem cells, umbilical cordcells are the best to treat coronavirus.These cells have been used to cure Covid-19 in China.

Prof Alok Pandey
urHonorable Prime Minister is asking
Indian citizens to go “Vocal for Local”
for transforming India into a self-
reliant India.Indeed this is an appreciable
manifesto by the Indian government as it will
help us to build an economy that will be self-
dependent or say “AtamNirbher Bharat”.
AtamNirbhar Bharat is a very big and
multifacetedidea. Let us focus on one small
aspect of it. India's current trade deficit (mean
total import minus total export) with china is 50 billion.
Our total import from china is 5 times more than exports.
The big reason for this difference is dumping. Dumping is
a term used in the context of international trade. It's when
a country or company exports a product at a price that is
lower in the foreign importing market than the price in
the exporter's domestic market. China is also doing the
same thing.First,they identify the need fora big market
and then they increase their product supply for that need,
and due to excesssupply price goes down and the local
market faces the challenges and not able to compete.
when china has no competitors then they increase the
price and recover all the previous losses.According to the
Economic Times: India will respond faster to complaints
about the dumping of Chinese goods, as the country looks
to stimulate local production and reduce dependence on
imports.
Now the second question comes why India itself
doesn’t ban Chinese products? Well, it is just because of
WTO. According to WTO, you cannot ban imports from
other countries. Import Outride is not possible but making
our market self-sufficient,is possible, so that country
never hasa requirement of Chinese products. That is what
India is trying to do. Take an example of the toy industry
having a worth of Rs. 4500 Crores and almost 80% of toys
come from China. India having a huge population and its
33% population is under 15 years of age. But the problem
is that these toys are not safe for the children. According to
a report published by outlook ‘Toy Story,’ Most Chinese
toys fail India's safety tests. Kid's health might be at risk
from ‘Made in China’ toys that have flooded the local
markets, as a recent study has found hazardous heavy
metals and other lethal materials used in their
manufacturing.
This study revealed that 67% of all Chinese toys failed
the safety standard test. The toy industry of India is badly
affected by cheap Chinese imports. The cost of Chinese
toys is so low that any Indian company is
unable to compete with China. Last year only
20% of the Indian toy market is captured by
the Indian companies while the rest of the 80%
market is captured by the Chinese and Italian
companies. According to a study by
ASSOCHAM, 40% of Indian toy-making
companies have been closed in the last 5 years
and 20% are on the verge of closure.
Let take another example of medicine. India
makes 22% world’s Generic medicine but 70% of the raw
material comes from China. During the COVID 19 crisis
china suddenly increased the prices of raw material and
Indian pharmaceutical industries were affected. If India
starts the production of these raw materials locally than it
would be a great idea.
If we talk about the manufacturing of smartphones,
Laptops, or automobiles, most of the spare parts we are
still importing from the other countries. The
manufacturing of these spare parts is not yet available
domestically. For example, Lava is an Indian brand it has
an in-house R&D and product-testing set-up in China and
India for product design and development.
The government provides financial assistance to the
weaker section but the government should get involved in
the interior intensity as there are so many bureaucrats
issues when it comes to accruing land for setting up the
factories and business. They should also focus on the
education sector as well to motivate the students for
research and development. As we are not prepared for this
strong decision yet so the country should be more focused
on developing infrastructure, Technology enhancement,
and education level of the country, this will be our first
step towards the goal of being vocal for local.
Several sectors have been identified in which India's
competitive and comparative advantage over the other
countries is seen. According to Commerce and Industry
Minister the government has identified 12 sectors,
including auto components, textiles, industrial machinery
and furniture, food processing, organic farming, iron,
aluminum and copper, agrochemicals, electronics,
industrial machinery, furniture, leather, and shoes, auto
parts; textiles; and coveralls, masks, sanitizers and
ventilators where focus would be given to make India a
self-reliant country and a global supplier. A self-reliant
India will ensure the production of quality products on a
large scale.

Ghaziabad: With a strong sense
of purpose and the intent to
influence the participants about
the Marketing Club,the Marcadeo
Society organized the Great Grand
Opening of the Marketing Club.
Marketing Club is an initiative
taken by not only faculties but the
young marketers of our college. It
is a step forward to make the
students excel in their creativity,
learning, and thinking abilities.
The marketing club believes to
share knowledge and make the
students participate in various
activities interestingly. It also
believes in two-way
communication, where faculties
and students both learn and gain
knowledge from each other,
together as a family. The club
intends to mix and match different
activities and workshops for the
students. We are sure, by doing
what we do, we transform and
develop the knowledge-seeking
young marketers into industry-fit
personnel. With these thoughts,
the event began with the
introduction by President
Abhishek Thakur. He first and
foremost introduced the clubhead,
Dr. Kumar Saurav, along with all
the club cabinets which included
himself as the president, Samyak
Jain as the Vice President, and
Akash Garg as the Secretary. Then
came, the backbone and the strong
pillars of the society, without
whom this club is insufficient, our
motivators, the faculty
coordinators, which includes,
Prof. Astha Sawhney, Prof. Shanki
Tyagi, Prof. Komal Kapoor, Prof.
Santosh Shah, and Prof. Sahil
Gupta.
This time the club took the
initiative of introducing their
budding team of young marketers,
Team 11 along with the Marketing
Advisory Board. The purpose of
having this diligent team is to have
new ideas from the side of young
marketers and also to develop and
enhance their skills. After the
immense introduction, there was
a very joint interaction of the
audience after which they, one by
one, nominated themselves for a
fun-loving activity called
‘Extempore’.In this activity, the
audience had to speak about a
particular topic for one minute.
There were lots of overwhelming
responses received from the
audience and a great sharing of
knowledge with each other. The
next activity that was conducted
was called ‘Guess the Guardian’
where the president Abhishek
Thakur asked all the audience to
get three products each of any
brand kept close to them. After
that, he asked some questions
about the brands like its parental
company or its owner. The fun-
loving activity became more fun
when everyone had different
brands to talk about. The last
activity for the day was ‘Guess the
taglines’. The audience was given
multiple taglines to guess its
brand. Some taglines were very
easy to guess too but further the
taglines became a little difficult for
the audience for guessing.
Finally, the event was drawn to a
close by the address of Dr. Kumar
Saurav, who motivated the
audience with his inspirational
words to come and join the family
of the marketing club.
The whole session received an
overwhelming response from the
audience and made the session
more interactive and by this, the
club made a hit show at its grand
opening.
