  • AICTE and OPPO India kick off Nationwide E-Waste Awareness Drive across colleges under ‘Generation Green’ Campaign

    AICTE and OPPO India kick off Nationwide E-Waste Awareness Drive across colleges under ‘Generation Green’ CampaignNew Delhi, 11th September 2024: The All-India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and OPPO India, today kicked off the second leg of the ‘Generation Green’ campaign with a nationwide electronic-waste awareness drive (e-waste) at Ramjas College, University of Delhi. With this, the college becomes the first ‘Eco-Conscious Champion Institute’ under the programme. As part of the first leg, OPPO India and AICTE promoted green skills among youth by offering internships across colleges in India. More than 9,000 students from over 1,400 institutions applied for these internships, and 5,000 were selected. These students are now engaged in hands-on sustainability activities such as awareness sessions, E-surveys, Green Day celebrations, etc.

    The second leg educates youth about the increasing challenge of electronic waste management, such as discarded wires, mobile phones, chargers, batteries, etc. and the need for effective disposal for a sustainable future. Dr Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairperson of the National Education Technology Forum (NETF), graced the launch ceremony as the Chief Guest. Also present at the occasion were Mr Rakesh Bhardwaj, Head of Public Affairs at OPPO India and Prof Ajay Kumar Arora, Principal of Ramjas College, University of Delhi among other dignitaries. During the two-day programme, students from various societies—such as the Literary Society, Dancing Society, Music Society, Photography Society, Quiz Society, Fine Arts Society, and more—will be engaged in a diverse range of activities.

    “Responsible e-waste disposal is critical to safeguarding our environment and public health,” said Dr Anil Sahasrabudhe, Chairperson of the National Education Technology Forum. “Addressing sustainability within the education sector is essential for creating a ripple effect that can influence broader societal change. Initiatives like the ‘Generation Green’ campaign empower the youth to take an active role in addressing this issue. By educating young minds and fostering a sense of responsibility, we can cultivate a generation that prioritises sustainable practices, ensuring proper e-waste management and contributing to a greener, healthier future for all.”

    Within just a month, over 1 lakh students from schools and colleges have committed to reducing energy use and managing e-waste responsibly, contributing to a more sustainable lifestyle. The programme’s goal is to reach at least 10 lakh students in India by the end of 2024.

    “At OPPO India, we are committed to the Net-Zero vision of the Government of India and are leading a national movement towards a sustainable future that is driven by the power of youth,” said Rakesh Bhardwaj, Head of Public Affairs at OPPO India. “Their active engagement is clearly visible through the vibrancy and engagement they bring to the campaign, reaching over 1 lakh green pledges gathered in just a few weeks. Young people are stepping up, taking responsibility, and leading the way in adopting environmentally responsible lifestyles. In the first phase, we onboarded 5,000 sustainability champions from over 20 states and 3 Union Territories, who are now inspiring others to act for a cleaner, sustainable future. As we enter the second phase, these young leaders will focus on e-waste management through active participation at colleges across India, further building the green mindset needed for a thriving green economy.”

    According to the United Nations Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report, India saw the highest—163 per cent—growth globally in generating electronic waste from screens, computers, and small IT and telecommunication equipment (SCSIT) between 2010 and 2022. This represents a significant challenge and a notable potential for effective e-waste management.

    “We are honoured that Ramjas College has been chosen to launch the second leg of OPPO India’s ‘Generation Green’ campaign. As an institution deeply committed to sustainability, we have continuously strived to integrate eco-friendly practices into our campus culture. This collaboration perfectly aligns with our vision of fostering environmental responsibility among the youth. By empowering our students and the youth of India to address the pressing issue of e-waste, we are taking a significant step toward creating a cleaner, greener future. We are proud to lead this initiative and serve as the first Eco-Conscious Champion Institute in this nationwide drive,” said Prof. Ajay Kumar Arora, Principal, Ramjas College, University of Delhi.

    In the next few weeks, the e-waste awareness drive will take place at prominent institutions such as St. Xavier’s College in Mumbai, Amity University in Jharkhand, Silver Oak University in Ahmedabad, Dayanand Sagar University in Bangalore, SRM University Delhi-NCR, Sonepat, JECRC University in Jaipur, etc. Students, staff members, and neighbouring institutions will be encouraged to collect and responsibly dispose-off e-waste through companies authorised by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Students across these colleges will be onboarded as Sustainability Interns, championing sustainable practices as Campus Ambassadors.

    The National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) 2025 is expected to introduce a new Sustainability Rankings category that will assess institutions on environmental sustainability, energy efficiency, and green campus initiatives. The Generation Green campaign aids institutions in enhancing their sustainability efforts.

  • On Mission to Upskill 500,000 Students, MongoDB Partners With Ministry of Education’s All India Council for Technical Education

    On Mission to Upskill 500,000 Students, MongoDB Partners With Ministry of Education's All India Council for Technical EducationBengaluru, India September 10, 2024: MongoDB, Inc. (NASDAQ: MDB) today announced the expansion of MongoDB for Academia in India, including a new partnership with All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), Ministry of Education, Government of India. The AICTE partnership will be supported by SmartBridge’s SmartInternz learning platform to give more than 150,000 Indian students access to virtual internships and to gain the skills required to use MongoDB Atlas—the leading multi-cloud developer data platform.

    As part of the program’s expansion, MongoDB also announced a new partnership with GeeksforGeeks, a platform for computer science resources in India. The collaboration will make the MongoDB Developer Learning Path available to all of GeeksforGeeks’ 25 million registered users.

    Launched in September 2023, the MongoDB for Academia in India program provides student training, curriculum resources for educators, credits to use MongoDB technology at no cost, and certifications to help individuals start careers in the technology industry. The skills and training provided through the program are particularly important, as many Indian organizations struggle to find developers who have the skills to build modern applications and take advantage of emerging technologies like generative AI. According to a report from the National Association of Software and Service Companies, India’s technology sector will demand more than one million engineers with advanced skills in artificial intelligence and other capabilities over the next three years. Overall, the industry body expects there will be a need for around six million digital roles by 2028—and the available talent pool is forecast to be 4.7 million workers. This gap underscores the need for increased collaboration between industry and academia to upskill students and educators in India to meet the demands of the country’s large and growing economy.

    “In India, we have a massive opportunity with the current wave of AI and modern technologies that will transform our lives and economy in the coming years. But to take advantage of that opportunity, it is vital our developers have the right skills. We’re excited to partner with MongoDB to help make that possible,” said Dr. Buddha Chandrasekhar CEO, Anuvadini AI, Ministry of Education and Chief Coordinating Officer, AICTE, Ministry of Education, Government of India.

    To address this challenge, MongoDB for Academia is partnering with the All Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the Indian government’s authority for the management of technical education, and the edtech platform SmartBridge to launch a virtual internship program through the SmartInternz platform. Aligned with the government’s Skill India Initiative, the program aims to provide full-stack development skills to over 150,000 students. Each internship will include 60 hours of experiential learning, hands-on bootcamps, courses, and project work, as well as simulated corporate environments where students can apply their learned skills, collaborate with peers, and receive mentorship.

    “We’ve seen great appetite and interest on our platform for modern database technologies like MongoDB. We want to equip students with knowledge of in-demand technologies so they have skills they need to become the job-ready candidates India’s organizations are looking for,” said Amarender Katkam, Founder and CEO at SmartBridge and SmartInternz.

    In the past year, the MongoDB for Academia program has made major strides toward its goal of upskilling 500,000 students. To date, more than 200 partnerships with educational institutions have been established, as well as collaborations with other government and private organizations. Hundreds of educators have been onboarded on to the MongoDB for Academia program, more than 100,000 students have received skills training, and over 450,000 hours of learning have been completed.

    “India loves developers and so does MongoDB. I’m so proud of the work our MongoDB for Academia team is doing to empower Indian developers and to support the next generation of tech talent in this country,” said Sachin Chawla, Area Vice President, India at MongoDB.

    MongoDB for Academia is also expanding to partner with GeeksforGeeks which will see the organizations collaborate on a number of new projects, including the syndication of key full-stack development courses to learners both in online and offline GeeksforGeeks centers across India. The MongoDB Developer Learning path will also become available to all GeeksforGeeks users, and is expected to reach more than 100,000 aspiring developers.
