"As pointed out by Amma in Her video message, let the digital transformation of the education system take in its stride a change in the stereotypical approach, wherein students are encouraged to think "How can I GIVE" more than "How can I get" from the education I receive.", said Br. Ramanandamrita Chaitanya.
The event featured an impressive lineup of invited expert speakers who shared their insights and expertise.
Padma Bhushan Dr. Jagdish Sheth from Emory University provided valuable perspectives on the role of technology in education. "Digital transformation of all institutions is universal and inevitable.

Dr. Revi Sterling, an expert on gender equality in technology and education from CARE, contributed to the discussions by highlighting the importance of inclusivity in the digital age. "The most significant divide before was urban and rural, young and old, caste and religion, male and female; but now, the divide is between people who have information and those who don't. We must bridge this gap," said Dr. Sterling.
Julie Brennen, representing the Mentor Me Program and My Forsyth Magazine, shared her experiences as a volunteer and a mentor in this critical digital age. "To be Impactful, we should truly consider volunteering and mentoring. When you volunteer, you become a little extra; you become much larger than who you are.", said Ms. Brennen.
