 So, good afternoon everybody and I must compliment all the participants as well as Sameer and his colleagues for doing something that we have been contemplating for a very long time. Why these things are going to be more important going forward? For many decades the video was associated mostly with marriage ceremonies and banquets and basically part of entertainment or collecting memoirs. It was always considered a shorter version of regular films and correspondingly the effort and money which this field received was much less than entertainment industry like movies. Ever since audio video contents became more meaningful and important for education and for learning and this in this country has started happening now, you would have heard of the MIT's open courseware project where they are trying to create similar educational videos almost last 10 years now and our own efforts which I mentioned which we are creating audio visual contents. But going forward in next 10 to 20 years I can safely say that the requirement of such high quality educational e-learning e-teaching contents, the demand is going to increase at least 20 to 30 times that is because not only the VSAT technology is now proliferate it is not just ISRO but others that is because the computers are now proliferating in all colleges and slowly going into the schools and because teachers in large quantity and high quality are not easily available. So, these contents can never be substitutes for teachers nothing no technology no product can be substitute for human beings but these are great supplements and it is towards this supplementary effort that we need to create people in every aspect and dimension of technology in learning, pedagogy in teaching everything and towards this end we believe firmly that post production editing is going to make all the difference between good contents and good acceptable pleasant contents I hope you understand the difference good contents is what teachers would create through the lectures. But to make those contents meaningful to make those contents acceptable to make those contents look better to make those contents more appealing to make those contents more interesting all of this is accomplished to a large extent by the group called post production editing. There have been people in this country couple of solvers I see people who are here who have been doing these kind of things but what we need in my own estimate is about 100,000 such people across the country in next decade we just do not have 100,000 people there are several who are engaged in the entertainment industry it is unlikely that they will leave that industry so motto because that industry is also doing well and of course it pays more than what all of us get. But there is a different kind of challenge here there is a different kind of pleasure here and you can increase that pleasure if you keep a couple of things in mind when you do your work ordinarily when we do our professional work we limit ourselves to the activity at hand. This is professional work what additionally I would request you to keep in mind that is the end customer the end customer could be a student sitting in Latour or Orangabad or some place or Jharsubhuda or Belgium wherever and that end customer could be a young student in school could be a student in college currently we of course understand engineering education so most of our efforts are concentrated on engineering education. But do not forget that extraordinarily large number of Indians are studying in schools and colleges who again lack these good contents and excess. Why I say you should keep that person in mind not just student but the teacher is because when you keep yourself into his shoe. Ravi Puvaiya professor of IDC they were struggling with beta max and pneumatic and those video tapes which could deteriorate after usage. Digital technology has taken care of many of those things so technology is improving and with technology techniques also become different new software has come. So this is a perpetual learning process even professional. But what I am requesting you to remember is beyond that technology is one thing and of course to learn perpetually as we teachers say teacher is a perpetual learner. So professional also is a perpetual learner but apart from that you should take care of these two things one the end user, the end customer always see your work from the point of view of that. All that 3, 4, 5, 10 times automatically you start thinking in every activity that you do in education this is my request and I make this request to everybody whosoever is involved in an end to end thing for example when a teacher teaches here we learned a lot of things for example we are not aware that when recording is being done on when we are broadcasting the course we should face the camera that we should use dress which is properly chosen for example this is contraindicated I think I did not know that I will be speaking here and will be recording but we used to have Samir used to have 2 or 3 shirts in the studio your master go well a gala kapde pen aaya rangib rangib rangib was that shirt nikal dusra pen and no teacher minded. The second culture which I would like to request you which I hope you have seen partly here in IIT and my friends from Nasek is always try to learn from anybody and everybody whatever little that person knows better than you and age rang etcetera should never come in your I am very proud to say that I have learned from many of my younger colleagues here the amount of things I have learned enormous they are far younger than me and of course they are my subordinates but I have no hesitation in sitting as a student in the class and learning from the best example is my not old young friend Vaishampan he was my elder and a friend for last 39 years that I have been here but he is one man who whenever he wanted to learn something he used to attend my programming course I was a young teacher then but I asked him are you Vaishampan kaka I am interested in learning program that is the tradition of IIT we used to have senior professors from electrical engineering department sitting in our classroom as students and learn because the best learning is when you know that somebody has something to give you and that will be useful to you sometime you sit down and learn I will request you to only keep these two things in mind of course I am sure that you would have discussed a whole lot of professional techniques believe me this work is almost like learning music or learning any art so it is like that I will tell you the best certification of your work is can only be from two people one the end customer and the second is you yourself so this is the third question I will request you to ask every time you finish your work go back and examine it not only from the end users perspective but ask yourself could you have done better what you have done, could you have done better than that I have always asked myself in my last 60 years every time I get the answer that yes I can do better every time, this means we can do better than what we do that will keep the fire in your belly burning to do better, learn better, do better quality last but not the least you people will go to Nasik, you people many of you will work here some of you will go out and work remember to spread this knowledge to as many people as you can because as I said and this is not hypothetical I have had discussions in very high power committee meetings in the ministries in Delhi and so on we are ourselves proposing a large spread up of building what we call subject portals where we would create subject wise contents for many engineering courses and I have suggested that the same thing be done for other college subjects other school subjects and so on the potential is too heavy an important thing will be that the contents that you currently write they are almost all in English you will require to create contents in Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, Tamil because 95% of our students neither speak English nor understanding but we have to start somewhere so we are starting with this you must have seen a Wikipedia there are mostly textual contents in Wikipedia but there is no reason why we cannot create open source educational contents which can be spread across and which can be made available due to thousands of places so what can you do? there is no limit to this you can reach to the sky don't think too much think big and do something big and I am very happy that to some extent IIT Bombay has been fortunate enough to contribute to your efforts and to your dreams thank you so much so we will have the validity of giving away certificate so we will have people first from YCMU Nasik to come over and collect the certificates Jagdish Kulkarni Vivek Ahire Santosh Sabha Pradeep Gaikwan Kiran Rao and Girish Gowri Kailash Kadu Praveen Inge Ranjit Solanki maybe say few words after that Bahulkar Shashi Khan Bahulkar Prakash Jadiar Sameer Shivram Redkar Bhairav Lahotkar Kishore Bhamle Nirendra Pratap Singh Krishna Bhandare Sandeep Jadav Deepak Jangeed Sushant Raktade Sakina Sheikh Devendra Parab Shekhar Oval Rahul Kharat Sachin Pagare Tushar Deshpande Saurabh Ghatge Saurabh Ghatge Amin Sheikh Tarun Negi Sandeep Hirmare and Santosh Sonwane who is not present today so I actually thank you sir for coming here and doing the honors I request nominee from each group to just come and maybe express their reaction about the course as such Thank you so much for doing a lot of English for these 6 days I am now speaking in Marathi We have started this course with Pathekswara and now we are going to do a very good retreat One of your goals is that you have given such great energy and both of them have given a big advantage that is to say you have to look at the angle of the distance and do the work It is fine but you are telling the other side that you have to look at it and you have to look at it You have to look at the distance and think how much we should be able to go and you will be able to tell a lot of things about the distance So let us see what comes next I have done a little video I am now looking at the angle of the distance I don't feel like doing this as I am the older brother So I am saying that you have to feel like this, you are the older brother And the other thing if you feel like going This is the first time we have seen such a big ball. It is not small. Like Savagarni or Vinanti, it is a sea. It is a small river. This is Wikipedia. We do it in Marathi. YouTube is available. We have such a big ball in our hands. Let us all work together. This is such a big ball. I think we have such a big ball in our hands. This is the sea reaction. When we do soap, we do it in the same way. I think we have done it for 2-3 years. I am happy to tell you that we have been doing this for 6 days. We have been doing this for 6 years. We have been doing this to share. The goal of our generation is to learn how to be lazy. You may think that it is not possible to learn how to be lazy. But the technology we have now is to learn how to be lazy. It is not possible to be a big person. This is the part of Kankin Adjani. But we are learning how to be lazy. And I learn how to be my son in many songs. We have been doing this for 6 years. This is the goal of our generation. We will try to achieve it. It is not possible to be lazy. But it is very nice. This is a big tool for us. This is the strength of our generation. I request you to read the first and the end of the video. We have been doing this for 6 years. We have been doing this for 6 years. We have been doing this for 5-5 minutes. It is necessary. You have got the energy from this. You have got the energy from this. And I have got the strength from this. We have learnt a lot from this. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
