Participants presented their views on traditional and modern education system. Participants discussed the pros and cons of ancient and modern education system by taking examples from the history of education system in India.
Traditional and modern educations are both related to each other and different from each other also. Participants said that it is difficult to infer that which education is better. Both the types have their own importance. Modern education is inherited from the traditional education. But due to modern education, traditional education is being neglected which would result in losing our culture. The traditional education and the modern education, both should be given equal importance.
All the participants participated very enthusiastically in this event and enhanced their knowledge in the domain of education. The participants were judged by Dr. Monica Khanna, Head of, APS Department, and Mr. Ajay Pal Singh, Training and Placement Officer.
At the end, the result of the contest was announced and the three position holders were awarded prizes. The 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize was won by Dheeraj (1st year ), Rishita Singhal (2nd Year), and Abhay (1st Year) respectively.
