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.

Everyone faced a hard time answering it, but the host of the meeting

gradually made it a piece of cake for everyone with a detailed

pictorial representation about the term ‘Personality Development

skills’. Rajat encodes his example how he changed himself from

being a shy introvert person to a good speaker. He motivated the

students to come out of their comfort zone and try things and don’t

be afraid of failures. The meeting ended with well defined query

session which Rajat answered very well and also told them to attend

the initiatives taken by college like Toastmasters, PDP classes,

Public speaking classes and many more.

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

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.

STUDIESDURING COVID

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.
