Outside my scope of understanding is the subject is what I felt, when I heard the topic. But went there to meet the Chief Guest Dr. Sudhakar Rao Sir. Could see SCMS college for the first time. Lo and behold realised there is something for us to learn from every event/situation. My key take aways were:
From the Intro: Write, Write better. Think further, have an open mind.
Sudhakar Sir covered, Social science Trajectory.
What do we do? We wait till whistle blow, engine begin moving, and the moment become urgent.
Why do we do it? We delay until urgency forces, and we confuse presence with performance.
We don’t see urgency until things go hay way because of temporal discounting and normalcy bias.
What is needed is a shift from reactive behaviour to reflective behaviour and crises driven meaning to conscious meaning.
We need not wait for the train to start moving, but we need to say important things while there is still time.
What we produce should be relevant and not abstract. Avoid contextual blindspots.
We need to ensure integrity and ethics in the age of data, devoid of shortcuts.
The way forward is impact oriented but intellectually independent.
Collective gain is important than individual gain. A new trajectory is the relearning society. Conscious and not crises driven.
Conclusion by Deepankar Sir: Pledge to avoid plagiarism, and not to resort to junkification and unethical means.
Thank you for extending the invite and for a great day today!
