Sharda University Talks About 21st Century Virtues

It’s year 2016 now-16 years since the 21st century started and on the off chance that we take a gander at the headway and advancement that has happened in most recent 16 years, we would be shocked. Times have been changing so rapidly that nearly everything appears to be temporary. This century is maybe impeccably comparable to the aphorism ‘Change is the main consistent’. Everything has advanced or changed. The previous 16 years have achieved a heap of changes in each field, including training. Gone is the era of ‘gabble by rote’,supplanted with a more radical and target twisted. In the wake of such changes, even the training framework has developed. The current scenario has a few virtues to it that need to be imparted through education, says Sharda University.

There has been brewing a sect of intellectuals that searches for minds that can think unconventionally, challenge the existing, rotten norms and replace them with newer ideas. There is a pressing demand for innovators; for those individuals who look at a problem from a different and yet relevant angle.  At the same time, such minds need to have core knowledge and apply it to the real time situations. Bookish knowledge has become secondary to practical experience and learning. Educational curriculum needs a revamp in order to nurture different qualities among students. The curriculum and courses across India need to be designed in order to acquaint students with the virtues that are needed in the current eon, says a counselor at Sharda University.

Companies look for candidates who display creativity, flexibility and a desire to learn. The more open you are to various ideas, the better it is for you. By having a wider view point towards things, a person’s decision making ability greatly improves. Then there is a keen focus on technology. You are not required to create a new technology altogether but make optimum use of the existing one. Last but not the least, Leadership skills; companies want candidates who can display leadership skills and possess a sense of ownership. Various educational institutions, including Sharda University Noida, have been working towards inculcating such traits in students by adopting a more relevant and contemporary education curriculum.
