1. Tell us more about your experience as an educator.
In my short career, I have interacted with students from different backgrounds and interests. As an educator, I always find it challenging to keep my students interested in the different aspects of the subject. I constantly try to update my knowledge and presentation in such a way that I could inspire the students and show them the right path.
2. What is your opinion of the Indian education system and how would you like to change that?
India is a country of diversity and that reflects in the field of education also. we do not have an unified approach in the field of education. the standard of education varies in different regions. Though we have come a long way in urban areas, especially in metro cities, we still need a lot of improvement in rural areas of the country. the change should begin from the grass-root level.
3. What changes in the teaching methodologies have you seen in the recent times?
teaching methodologies have changed drastically in the last couple of decades in India. Technology has positively involved in the process of teaching especially in science and technology subjects. Internet sources are an inevitable part of today's education system. Now, we have stepped into the next level with online classes.

Teaching has always been considered as a respectable profession in Indian society. Though it does not enjoy its conventional glory and is not viewed at par with corporate jobs, it still holds a high regard. Both the professions have their pros and cons.
6. How can we adopt technology to make teaching more effective?
Now we have entered into a new revolutionary phase in the field of education; technologically assisted learning. The involvement of technology helps to improve the quality of learning. It facilitates more resources to students; gives a platform for them to interact with scholars abroad and helps to understand different learning methodologies used all over the world.

The process of learning has been undergoing a transformation in the recent years which has decentred the role of instructors. They remain as one of the facilitators today. However, they play a vital role in inspiring and encouraging students. The educators can indeed help the students to get familiar with new methodologies, new resources and advanced technologies which can improve the quality of learning.
