LEAD School’s Statement on Pragyata The MHRD guidelines clearly

LEAD School’s Statement on Pragyata The MHRD guidelines clearly define synchronous and asynchronous learning. The restrictions suggested by MHRD are applicable on synchronous learning and not on asynchronous learning. Synchronous learning is “real-time teaching and learning that can happen collaboratively and at the same time with a group of online learners or even individually, and usually a teacher, or some method of instant feedback”. Asynchronous learning is anytime, anywhere but not connected in real time. The time limits recommended by MHRD are as follows:

Class Synchronous learning time per day Asynchronous learning time per day 30 minutes No limits prescribed Class 1 to 8 90 minutes No limits prescribed Class 9 to 12 180 minutes No limits prescribed LEAD School’s method of learning is asynchronous. Students can access learning

 Over the years JaagoRe, has become a clarion call for social awakening and Tata Tea has always used this platform to facilitate genuine change in a social Cause that has been the need of the hour.

World Health Organization (WHO) and health experts have identified elderly people as more vulnerable to the novel coronavirus outbreak due to their decreased immunity.  This has been further reiterated in the PM’s address with ‘care for the elderly’ as one of the key points in the 7 point agenda. 

Commenting on the initiative of Iss baar #BadonKeLiye #JaagoRe, Sushant Dash, President, Beverages– India & Middle East, Tata Consumer Products, said, “JaagoRe has always been a means to awaken people on a relevant social issue, inspire them to take action thereby make a genuine difference in society.

The initiative will involve, spreading awareness of the Social Cause viz Helping the elderly, providing relevant tips, tying up with NGOs and providing a common platform for people to connect with them, and share stories of volunteers to inspire others to take action”

“It is important to understand and address the medical, psychological and social needs of the elderly whose routine life is disrupted leading them most prone to confusion and helplessness. A simple action like checking on them to see if they need anything and taking steps to help them will make a big difference. Of course, all this needs to be done keeping in line with the COVID 19 guidelines, as provided by the local administration. However, it is time to give back to our elders who have protected and guided us in the right direction. Every small step or action you take to help them, can make a big difference. Hence, we appeal to all to join the movement, and be a catalyst of change with Iss Baar #BadonKeLiye #JaagoRe” says Puneet Das, Vice President Marketing, Beverages- India, at Tata Consumer Products.
