Documentary Film by students of the Journalism and Mass Communication Program at Navrachana University wins an award at the Golden Fern Film Awards

Documentary Film by students

“Taal aur Tarang: A Symphony of Instrument Makers” is a documentary film which was an Award Winner in the Documentary Film category at the January 2023 Session of Golden Fern Film Festival held in Darjeeling.

The film was conceptualized and created solely by the students of the Journalism and Mass Communication Program at Navrachana University. It was directed, shot, and edited by Pranshu Shah, Chaitali Dixit conducted the interviews and wrote the script. Juhi Singh handled the appointments and schedules. Palak Shrivastava and Sharnav Garge assisted during the shoots and helped research the subject.

“Taal Aur Tarang” is a documentary on the community of musical instrument makers of Vadodara city. For over 150 years the families of these instrument makers have passed on the art of instrument making from one generation to the other. India gained freedom from the British and monarchy dissolved into democracy, but the legacy of these craftsmen still goes on. This documentary was a humble attempt to document their past, shed light on their present, understanding the future of these families. The film primarily covers three families of instrument makers – the Tanjorakar’s, the Duggar’s and the Mistry’s among other.

In the age of technology and machinery, where almost every aspect of our lives in some or the other way is commodified, these instrument makers prove that the human touch is irreplaceable. They bring an instrument to life, they offer it a soul, and they are creators of sound. Unfortunately, there is little accessible documentation available about their rich history. Through this documentary, the students have managed to create a lasting digital document that acts as a testament of their invaluable contribution to the musical heritage of the city.

Cultivating Excellence – How Upskilling and Continuous Learning Shape Indian Teachers for Global Success

19th June 2023  The education landscape is changing constantly and institutions are adapting to many new formats and areas in order to facilitate evolved developments. Amidst this, the role of teachers has become increasingly vital. They are not only responsible for imparting knowledge but also for creatively igniting young minds and enabling them to grow independently in the future. It is at this point, that teacher upskilling and continuous learning for educators in India is being embraced more than ever before. This helps teachers cultivate excellence by enhancing their skills and opening doors to new opportunities across the globe.

The Government of India recognized this 3 years ago when it launched a National Education Policy (NEP) that especially focused on the importance of teacher upskilling and development. Infact, The Union Budget for 2023-24 also saw a significant allocation of ₹3,418.07 crores (20% higher than the previous year) to enhance upskilling resources for the youth. This was a crucial step in encouraging institutions to focus on pedagogy for teachers with high-quality content that eliminates the monotony in teaching.

“Teacher upskilling is not just a choice but a necessary mandate,” says Rishabh Khanna, Founder, and CEO of Suraasa, a leading career-tech and skill-tech start-up for teachers. Recognizing the power of learning, Khanna further emphasises “I firmly believe that a teacher has the ability to make a profound impact, and continuous learning serves as the cornerstone of this journey. Teacher upskilling programs focus on enhancing pedagogical techniques, classroom management strategies, student engagement, and the seamless integration of technology in teaching practices. This allows teachers to effectively utilise educational apps, online resources, learning management systems, and collaborative tools to enhance student learning outcomes.” He further outlines that technology-enabled teaching not only enhances educational practices but also promotes digital literacy among students, equipping them with the essential skills required for the future.

Through comprehensive learning throughout their careers, teachers are able to address the diverse learning requirements of new-age students. This is evident in the inclusive practices by educators to accommodate students with special needs, cater to multilingual classrooms, and foster an empowered learning environment. Infact, in many ways, teacher upskilling goes beyond individual growth; it encourages the formation of collaborative learning communities where each student can share experiences, exchange ideas, and collectively solve challenges.

While upskilling and continuous learning prove to be an enriching experience for all students, it is also a great way for teachers to get their talent, skills, efforts, and achievements recognized. This recognition serves as a crucial part for teachers to stay motivated towards what they do best. Hence, upskilling programs often incorporate mechanisms for recognizing educators’ growth, such as certifications, badges, or endorsements. These recognitions not only validate teachers’ skills but also serve as a catalyst for their continuous professional development.

By embracing these professional development programs, India can empower its teachers to create impactful learning experiences. After all, upskilling is an investment in the future of education and enables every teacher to have the potential to make a lasting impact on students’ lives.

The school is also proud to report that 9 out of the 10 students received the coveted ICE (International Certificate Examination) Award, underscoring their remarkable ability to aim higher.

The ICE award, which prescribes certain Grade achievements in 7 subjects, including 2 languages and at least one subject from all groups, has been rightfully earned by the talented students of The Gera School. Notably, Omkar Rane and Lucius de Almeida have achieved the extraordinary feat of receiving seven A* and one A Grade in their eight subjects, exemplifying their commitment to academic excellence and setting new benchmarks for future batches of students.
