Interviewer Dr Latha K, Bangalore, Karnataka 
I am Shankar Lal Bika right now I am Associate Professor, HOD, Dean at School of Education, Central University Punjab its situated in Bhatinda in the State of Punjab, India. Prior to this University I was appointed as Asst Professor at Central University of Gujarath in Gandhinagar and before that I was Lady Irvin college Delhi University, I am alumni from Delhi University, my doctorate from Delhi University from CIE and my professional qualification like BEd special education intellectual disability, MEd in intellectual disability, Mphil in intellectual disability from National Institute for Intellectual Disability it is in Hyderabad Telangana. And I am also PG in Disciplines of History from Kurukshetra univ Kurukshetra and I am also PG in Clinical Psychology this is my qualification and about my specialization I am purely from the background persons from specialized in special education intellectual disability, hearing impairment, autism spectrum disorders and inclusive education, social science and curriculum development in teacher education. Since I am working so long this is my 13 years of experience in the field of special education and fortunately I am here in education now but my core area is special education disability and rehabilitations and still I am associated with these children personality disability and fighting for space for these children the society, being In education my most of interest area is this actually, how we can purporting preparing curriculum development for them. I am situated in many universities here around in Punjab, Haryana, Delhi and other parts of North countries, North India. I am constituent member of Rehabilitation council of India it is a statutory body in comes under …of Social Justice & Empowerment Government of India giving contribution in that. In Education we have about where I am right now presently here in Central University Punjab and full-fledged dealing to Education department and here we have Master programme MA in education and MEd in Education and Language we also have a PG programmes as well recently we also had Pt Madan Mohan Malavia national portal for teaching in that also we handled many programme GOI time to time and we also allowed us. Actually basically I am from Sirsa Haryana and very less time given to Haryana state I was around India I was situated in Delhi Hyderabad Bangalore and as well as Gandhi nagar Gujarat now I am here Central University of Punjab. This is all about myself.
It is very wide questions you asked me there are so many parameters in that portion, I will have to answer in that aspects inclusive education, when we talk about inclusive and equitable education it can be started from primary education and early intervention to higher education this is how we in education we are starting, education starts from primary to higher education for that there is an implication in the society so when it is in primary edu because we need to cater to when we are talking about inclusive education because I remembers I have seen Asian literature, Indian literature says how saints like meerabai vivekananda gurunak dev ji sant kabir guru ravidas periyar many saints came in India what they have done, they have done social reforms what they were doing actually they were collaborating the society at large that society can come together and they were putting reforms in the society in a different angles may be sathi pathi, remarriages and other issues of countries untouchabilities even disabilities also what happened because its not a new concept in India these people they have done marvelous based on the social they construct the horizontal structures not vertical structures what we are doing in education vertical structures Primary education, secondary education sr secondary education, higher education, policies, govt policies, action policies what we are doing, we are just making a vertical vertical structure, structure and structure  but in the ground reality when we see but many period of deprived in many part of countries there is not acceptances in a family if a person with disability is living in that family the family members a few members are not accepting the child is segregated, and in society in large we can see that how people attitudes and  psychological barriers are there with them they have barriers in accessibility, socialization psychological barriers economic barriers many barriers they are facing in all. Because here inclusion when we are bringing inclusion we need to make horizontal structure how the great Indian people had for eg of them and such kind of such things also society acceptance our govt is giving lot of importance to the education in the new education policy 2020 they inclusive education right to person disabilit2016 also inculcated for protection right full participation equal opportunities, 0 rejections because we are also in the main stream in the society not only people with ability and other divorced groups also even women comes in that groups and many other groups are also there which need to be included in to inclusiveness we should make a inclusive development those society barriers and other barrier when u and me and other many people take charge of such problem definitely this kind of thing one and another day this is because ultimately we need to we all need to make the least receptive response in the mind until there is nonrestrictive in mind then things will remain same. This is my perception my way of thinking inclusion is that slowly it will be will come together you know there will be horst and tiger will have water in the same pond I am expecting. Not early interventional level, primary, secondary and higher education level. I am sure one and another day there will be equitable and inclusive education in all the parameters. 
Latha Madam, I would like to include few more sentence if u will allow me. Because since you know this is my personal experience says I am not you know I am under 40 only but I have experience these children unfortunately I cam into this field I have seen children special children today also I have seen that from primary 5th standard 6th standard 6 years 7 years 8 year 9 year 10 year and today in higher education person with disability in university also number of children with special needs when we talk with them when deal with them then that kind of such emotions comes we can contribution thanks to god has given that in grace to work in this field actually and I will tell you one thing more we also have special school where 40 childre are they are with different disabilities ok and they are intellectual disasbility, some are learning disability and few are autism sepc disorder and other disability …… are there. And you know when we talk with them their parents parents having different kind of feeling some one is talking with them actually many parents having lot of of property  this crores and crores rupees not working at all these crores rupees and millions of rupees are different angle different they need the child is only one child is he is learnt to pomp their hand the parents my child is a selected in IAS examination and he has done such kind of feeling they had so when we are close with those societies close with these children then we will understand then emotions come then we can become good human being this is ultimate job of ours actually otherwise lot of drama is going on in this life.
Actually since in Central Univ Punjab in my dept school of education and this isi am a beginner here because in 2020 I was appointed in this Univ and very less years of experience my dept I will tell you in MEd education we have 50 intake In MA education also we have 50 intake PHd as per the availability of the seasts 50 intake we have but this yesar is very good numbers we got and almost you know now we have 60 to 70% seats are filled. We filled 100% inbetween students drop out. May be they are selected or appointed teachers some where they have already completed BEd in education. Based onthat also they can go for employments as a teacher educastor 60 to 70% numbers in intakes in all the courses.
For Med it is the professional degree so it is affiliated to approva have been given by NCTE. We are also planning Med in learning disabilities MEd in intellectual disability and professional boides will  RCI rehabilitation council of India we are yet to start it is under process we will see that all the formalities we need to fulfill.
Since I observed from 2 to 3 batches only in Central Univ we have a mix of groups if it is the number you know in terms number which number is high then it will come in social science, arts will be more than other streams. 
Actually we have one or two students will be from that streams most of them are from BEd in education. From Arts streams social science people are more in that. Actually in central univ there is a CU sat examination admission will be going on through proper channel all over india they conduct CUSAT examination through that our students appear and who comes in merit then we select the students and they no barrier only Central Univ allover India people apply and they get selected this is actually procedure of our admissions and 
when they come here and pursue the degree and degree valuation how you know its goijg on in pandemic situation we have online system we have a traditional way of all kind of evaluations how other univ are doing. Difference is that that in our univ we have surprise test in between every unit we have surprise that will be online or offline mode and we also having more focus on communication services learning in curriculum aspects that’s very good. Our univ my dept 1st dept which started that. So community service learning community based rehabilitation I have seen, other univ they are doing or not as per infr given by my senior colleagues our is the 1st univ we are pioneer we have internship kind of things internship in both courses even in phd also action research internship in communication service. Not only book and pen they have to do it we already have 5 to 7 villages we have we have a collaboration with villages and our students go there and they do the community rehabilitating work, services family based services internship and this time because of pandemic we have done curriculum development e workshops instead of internship actually because slightly we changed methodology community we cannot go in 2020. Pedagogical things, methodology development and e-workshops model they are also making e modules kind of thing even before pandemic and today also these area common which are going on we have established one studio also. In that we general give opportunity to students this year we are also feeling when these things will be solved pandemic will go and we come to the streamline education to students give our potential to the students so that they can contribute to society we are also missing that period of time when that will come and so such pedagogical kind of things theory practical and other things as traditionally how we were going how other univ are doing we are also doing. 
First of all I never compare with other univ, I compare to myself my own colleagues what they are today what they will be tomorrow because what I compared my self even my colleagues same age we are a very good group but we always say together ok we contributed last these thing to society this time we need to do these things. How we are satisfied how we can do good for society and students and my students they can go any part and contribute for the humanity you stomach even animals also can fill their stomach and even birds can fill their stomach though they donot have job god has given every one their food but this is the things we speak our feelings and how much we can contribute to society if you have put to my students my students are far far far better as a good human being and they will serve good things to humanities and education.
We have last year strength girls are more compared to boys. Intake appx 65:35 65 Women students and 35 Men Students In central univ NTC is conducting examination there are 14 to 15 universities central universities they are collaboratively conduct one exam students put on auction 1sr where they want to go and feasibility only candidates wanted to Central Univ Punjab they will opt 1st option if they will come to that merit Punjab they will get admission 2nd merit students will get 2nd option, this is over all structure I am telling in depth I am not part of that. 
Actually science and maths teaching that will be specialization in education there is no such kind of specilisation in MEd in BEd it is there. MA and MEd it is only teacher education we are preparing porfessions and asst professors. They are going for internship for training DEd colleges and BEd college because they will be teachers …. BEd science stream, social science, maths streams. In MEd they must clear their BEd and once they are BEd they can come this is the eligible criteria. BEd to Med they can come. In MA education they can directly come this is UGC programme in MA Education its univ programme through UGC they can come to MA with any graduation. 
Low Socio economic profile in Central Univ because there is no fee ,very less or minimum fee in Central univ and of course many candidates those who cannot afford they generally come to Central University. Are very high caliber students because they come through NET exams. socio economic status is not compared to pvt univ you know if they compare pvt univ our socio economic is low many students come with the fellowships only. even total Ph.D programmes SC ST OBC fellowships from different sources those people they cannot afford any thing in univ of course they wont come to central univ they will go to private univ to get certificates u know many universities are there to distributing all kind of things quality of education remains in central univ and govt universities we cannot comprise with qualities in central univ particularly and socio economic status is little in between we can say not in higher level.
If they are not doing master degree once they are admitted but not completing master degree, They have BEd in education, this is eg. There is person to person candidate to candidate this is my own personal view and perception the person having BEd and he or she is not admitted in higher education for MEd then generally these students will go for teacher job they will join as a teacher because school and pvt school they will apply for open employment they can go to NGOs they will go to hospitals, they can go employment also but And they can also go for even other master degree master programmes if those who they don’t want to sit without education they go for their any other disciplines master degree because in prof qualification they much double master. One is MEd and 2 year pg programme they need to complete if they want to become Asst Prof in education atleast they have option to complete 2 year master programme and after completing in any disciplines they can try to get admissionin education MEd in education. They have option even though they have optionnow a day many families having own businesses they can go for that traditional b usiness even in India people even girls boys they are waiting for marriage in this there marriage also their own option as per their it vary personal to person and situation.
Who motivated you : Many students the answers vary but most of time we get a reply they already give 1st answer their passion to work as a teacher once they have a passion to work as teacher they have interest and curiosity and they will become, once they have passion to become definitely they will be settled get employment this attitude students have most of the times 1st time when they come in between also Sir, we hve passion to work in this field I wanted to work with small children cognitive ability to teaching with my ability this is my kind of thing there are many students I don’t want anything, We came for jobs. But job after passion jobs sab ko milegi, I generally say to my students once you do difference you will make the difference in you within you and there are 10 students how you can be great when you are with less time with good ideas thoughts u will make difference among all they u will achieve that goal then u will reach that level. Passion level it vary person to person and after the passion the lust to learn is very impt and many students feel we have to come here for time pass or we have to contribute to the country, we have lot of socio economic problems in my family I wasn’t to solve immediately and it vary to vary most of girls most of the girls they have really passion compared to boys. 
In our curriculum is very flexible every aspect are there in the curriculum because in higher education MA or MEd programme we have a curriculum because we have designed in such a way they can engage with the every aspect of this one even community engage programme service learning entrepreneurship and then pedagogical thing there are curricular and co-curricular things we are taking things only just giving theory theory and theory that wont work both the aspect of curricular and cocurricular and implication towards the society and even though that is true within this short period of 2 year we cannot do 100% to implicate we can create attitude in to the students and it is the ultimate goal is to contribute. Implicate that kind of things when they will come to the in real world then they will realize that what we learnt what is theory and what practical and now it is time to give back to the society every aspect is there we inculcated every aspect.
Latha Mam it vary from person to person students to students they listen to Dr Bika is very nicely speaking we will listen and he is a very philosophical person and we will not listen because of family background and society make lot of impact on that now we understand that the students which coming to me from which background and which society he comes from may be this students is coming from delhi can from conaught place metro city and I am giving him sevice learning kind of things go to the village and do such kind of things get 5 to 6 students of those having learning disability make a resource kind of things and contribute and give something to them that students will not understand that. Then this is my responsibility slowly I need to make him understand then it is very difficult job because already students 25 years or 30 years he has spent in that environment within 2 years this how can miracle happen there are many students can understand ultimately their goal is what there are students they will not understand we try our best to give something to them. 
Many issues come every year actually and  even we also conduct board of study to resolve in problem in curriculum after boards of study we conduct school boards we resolve problems then we reframe our structures every this process is happening because happening through the students we use only first we take students feed backs and we cannot satisfy every student it is true ok and many students ok sir in this content based this things repeated and these things these this must be less time how it is described this must credit base this must be read base we use views from students and we are trying our level best to inculcate resolve such kind of issues but 100% every students issues we cannot resolve. And we make board of studies then we go to school board we hire experts from other parts of countries 2-3 our constituents of univ rules and regulations and such kind of challenge comes every year. Because now in pandemic our traditional what we are doing earlier before March 2020 now everything is disturbed and now the every things is disturbed now our challenge are change which time we have face it depends on time. 
Particularly in MEd it is two year now. It was only one year and because what is difference as per students feed back, when this 2 year programme comes that time also I was also in advisory committee of CIE. They advised queries profession queries we also solve that queries I was also part and partial of that most of the things because in that one year course curriculum what I feel personally is we were giving conceptual learning we used to give and here when we have come to 2 year master programme and here we are expecting a lot from students. When we have lot of expectations form students we need to make our curriculum in such a way that real souls to bring from the the souls from curricular curricular curricular one year u make curricular and no implication to society to whom we wasn’t to contribut now 2 year programme it this brought in this level to curricular as well as cocurricular also touching implication part this is the difference between  year and 2 year 1 year programme was not serving purpose what we were expecting 2 yesars there also so problem when time goes on then problems will solve one day we are positive. Atleast it has given a shape what to do in these 2 year.s
Latha Mam, you know if I am used to eat only 2 chapathis somebody told me to eat 4 chapaties definitely I will have to see my stamina I will have to see whether I will digest 4 chapaties or not I need to wait for the time I need to take some medicines I take advise from dietists also what to do and same thing happened here also it was one year immediately it came to 2 years so that problems will come immediately problem will come now as my experience with these scenarios what happened in pan in 2 years now this problem is resolved and people and candidates have accepted that. I don’t from since no body told my why it is 2 years now I think they have digested – four chapaties. One more eg you know you are much more experience than me when it corona pandemic lockdown how people reacting even people do not want ot see other persons face now how that time is going on now people feeldo not loose humanity we need to protect the people we need to give some service don’t ignore that person he is not a devil he is having disease we need to help him and we need to treat him it depends on the situation now people digested and fear has gone. Yes. 
Actually for BEd for DEd and diploma course they must go for TET where as when we are talking about master programmes UGC NAT JRF examinations because they will be also teacher they will be teacher in higher education. MEd they need to complete their UGC JRF or NET when they are completing they will be eligible for Asst Prof. with their own.
Changes are there I felt changes are there in 2 year programmes and because changes in terms of in government institutions there are 100% attendance 80% attendance is must in such institutions central univ have changes are there I have seen and now the person with this 2 years programme the students go to universities other schools colleges and they are serving they are much comfortable they have already been gone from intership they under stand the 	problem privatisations privatisations is not serving that purpose. What privatization because they are taking lot of charges lto of fees and that is also came to my notice many students they are just distributed degrees. Things are also going on they are taking fees and giving degree to students now what is my expectations in central univ what we are doing half of the people their attitude and what they wanted to us 50% of people they are making failure to the system. Here such kind of things are going on half things are good and half things are bad when it comes to bad things then one bad is making to every one bad. Such situation in India. 
Even we get back feed back from students and community representative also. First we are sending our students through proper channel to the community it is part of our curriculum since it is part of community services community learning they must do it was compulsory whether students agree or disagree but they hv to do that they have no option now what they are doing initially they say these teachers are giving this kind of assignments fromstudents say we are form royal family and why we should go and work there once they go there once they will be working with the children with the community in rural area in small groups and once we are giving opportunity to deal with panchayat system, with sarpanch, local governments, when they deal with those with ladies and gentel men who are educated once they communicate with they go to anganwadi, dispensary, schools, panchayat even such  their feedbacks in between then they are doing  in groups and our supervision is there we are sending them alone. What tok do there we are guiding, even in college also teaching BEd or DEd students what type of curriculum, which type of concept, how to do it lesson planning every thing we are checking then they go there, if they do mistakes we are also teachers something shold be there if they don’t make mistakes why we are here they must show mistakes then we can sharp them and their feedback initial stage is little =negative some of the students once they do sir this opportunity given by you we learnt this wonderful opportunities, they make reports and this was not given this type of training and never thought in our life that we get this opportunity some students thing Dr Bika is giving useless jobs what is the use of doing this but we are enjoying this so such feed backs we are getting. But most of the feedbacks are very positive initial stage they feel young students when we were at the age college life they feel that twhen they deal with society or merge with society or experience with society they attitude and aptitude slowly will be positive. 
Actually this is communicate service people those are sarpanchas, members general nobody goes to them only they are with the villages only they are thinking if outside people from youngster or educated people go there because they are my students but they feel the community feel ok because in the communicate they are higher educators when they go qualified people they will feel happy and they are serving them they help them. not only them to person disabilities also I give opportunity to my students also I ask them to make teaching learning materials and gift to them one things to them and to schools and also make such devices here such kind of talent also, u have talent share your talent to community also capability they are doing even sarpanch these community they never ever avoid us they feel happy because they feels that something new hand came to service with them Attitude and aptitude should be positive only we have to go with clean heart we don’t have any such bad things bad intentions, definitely things will go in normal way and humanity way. This is the things can happen.
We have a alumni group alumni meet every year we conduct and since we as you know because in central univ universities you go for NCAC every 5 years NACC we are going for every 5 years if you want to go for new programmes these are mandatory systems in the university every year we conduct alumni meet, parental meet also we conduct, in alumni meet we generally get the feedback from them but what you are doing we make earlier graduate attributes after 5 years what they will do in which level they will be reaching In alumni meet we get mixtures of responses from students because some are employed, some going for higher education some students are preparing for NAT or UGE NET or JRF some students are doing family business they are involving even once we ask them what is the feedback as per the curriculum you learnt was it helpful to them or not even I netted one survey actually and my student sir that learning was good that because in the communication skills we learnt from that university only and research kind of things now I am in some students are saying my pursuing phd in the master programme is helped me which I did in you university some students saying when I completed my because of my MEd education to day I can understand much better these children my own children I can understand and I am educating my children. Mixes of responses I am getting positive experiences, positive and wonderful feedbacks I am getting and what is my aptitude what I am thinking that go more and more positive so that we can also contribute more than that. Even their parents are also happy. Ya true. Because this is very important to understand for them the education is not only for you jobs it will increase your congnitiry  
 Ability with that congnitive ability honesty developmeth you can contribute to other concepts in your own personality developmetn will happen even one students he is a farmer right now he is they have traditional farming and once I told him when you completed MEd now you are doing farming why not applied for NAT JRF he said I am very happy with faming because this course is helping me how to deal with other people how to take fertilisers how to take these small small things urea earlier bercause of this education made me a good farmer. How to do it, farming is one of the it is not farming traditional farming which you just throw the seeds and it will happen it is also a professional training, and he told I am systematically doing my farming becaue I am education I know with whom I should talk which experts I must talk who will be there because of my communication skill dealing increase from this course only that learning is taking place now I am good human being I am dealing with other people. Graduate attributes helping him in his business. 
Placement, centralized placement cell is there but as per the department also when we are giving alumni we are doing that time also we are conducting some interviews for pvt institutions and some students are selected through that and those as per the requirements of the pvt universities and institutions, government is open employment they have to apply through proper channels. We have a placement cell in university and guidance and counseling we are giving to them how to apply what are necessary steps you need to follow whether it is online or off line if it is advertisement we put it in the placement cell if any recruitment come there is notice boards the people are putting brochures there only student now a days there are no students general they see placement board and all they are aware about it. If is suitable to them they can apply if not suitable they can ignore it. Scenario in government jobs you know how artificial intelligence is increasing day by day and jobs it is also day by day decreasing. Artificial intelligence is decreasing government jobs and also pvt jobs. And now because policy makers and bureaucrats and govt are thinking I need one person who can work for 5 tasks. Earlier was it was not like that it was ok 5 work 5 people but now one person 5 tasks. So definitely you know in government jobs means in terms of govt jobs jobs are day by day decreasing actually. And only talents remains those students have talents they have a very good passions to do something that person can survive. He can get govt jobs, pvt jobs are there, this is the matter of ICT and other things even other sectors are also the jobs are increasing my personal view because of artificial intelligence govt jobs are decreasing day by day. 
What is my point of view in that statements very its impt statement present scenarios because whatever the courses are there are some students with traditional business will be settled more students having no traditional business how they will survive skill development is very impt we need to inculcate some skill development kind of things entrepreneur kind of papers in to our curriculum particularly when we are talking about MA and MEd in education in education point of views what is my personal view even i inculcated some skill based papers and from entrepreneur base also these skill based when we are giving skill based curriculum may in one and another way the students based on these skill based papers practical and theory the students may get some jobs can create own entrepreneur here skill development is impt rather than traditional kind of teaching. Now that scenario is gone traditional way of teaching. Now it is impt to give skill based training so that they can go for entrepreneur and even though govt is very keen to implement such kind of things the new education policy 2020 emphasized in that as I am in central univ and we are going implement NEP 2020 and we are also inculcated through school board or board of studies we inculcated skill based and skill based paper entrepreneurs paper I think this is one of the … such u know…may be students get jobs in future they can create their own businesses. And interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, trans disciplinary is very impt in todays scenario because earlier what happened we were talking about disciplinary but disciplinary was not working none disciplinary, interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, trans disciplinary these three things and working I think even this policy also emphasized and we are also in the beginning stage to implementing all these things and in curriculum also we are inculcating all these things even interdisciplinary, multidisciplinary, trans disciplinary courses so that the students get employment not in one discipline they can go for another discipline. And this is all about my reply with regard to this question. 
First challenges what we faced in this institution is since this is govt institution total posts recruitments is not happening in appropriate time. You don’t have you know 10:1 or 1: 10 not matching govt is saying 1 teacher for 10 students things in practical is difference in practicality it’s a long process to hire the person first of all the there is vast process in govt institutions in educations, in my institution in my dept if I say because we are very less number of faculties so challenges we are facing that only. We have good attitude and aptitude much more than that when some other hands will come aims and objectives and reasons we can make it success. Such challenges recruitments and it’s a long way and long process there are so many windows you many have to go and you many have to knock one windows and another window will be there in govt institutions such practicality such things are going on. Another one is in universities students intake actually students intake as I told 100% seats we are not able to fill we are trying our level best the reason is privatization. Because in my district Bethand Punjab on univ is giving one cert the students is working somewhere one certificate for 50000 rupees the student will earn 2 to 3 lakhs in one year why he will come here to spend 2 years regularly. So here because of this privatization the quality education and to give good quality education to the people until there is no quality education this india cannot have quality, This can never become Quality India. Education is one of the asset only education is one of the asset we can go we can bring the progresses prosperities happiness everybody knows if it is not there if this is privatization only the paper piece of paper come to the scenario only pieces of paper that pieces of paper will not work in actually second challenges and third challenges are the resources,  sometime it is observed on that due to lack of resources we are not able to contribute to the society. What is our aim and objectives written very well when we are going in practical way resources are becoming hurdle to us in between it become hurdles and hazards this is another kind of issue. This is what I find issues in my department in my university. Otherwise all students are here from 1st bell to last bell hostel facilities we have they are here and not going home that facility is there many another part of country a state university will have their own issues and challenges even pvt univ will be having their own. My dept I told you. 
NCTE once they have given affiliation onetime for any professional course, and all the parameters are done they will give the courses. We don’t have any challenges from NCTE and NCTE give any rules and regulations and it is favoring to teacher community and NCTE is for us only. Thinking NCTE for teacher development and for quality education definitely the credit goes to teacher to us when we work with hand to hand with NCTE, NCTE is good for us.
It is true it is affected to all programmes this pandemic and it is ultimately truth it really affected to all programmes but in initial stage we struggled a lot initial stage what to do but thank god we were already worked with technology devices we were used to be for us actually students some of the students were not aware of such kind of devices we given training to them what to do how to come to the we created google class rooms because students when to their homes and teachers went to their home, university made a circular to the departments what to do give your suggestions and we have created google class rooms then google meet kind of things zooms and all these all devices we used and used for class. Every day classes were going on but from my side it is ok I can use resources from other parts of students from Jammu Kashmir, Jharkahand, Kerala I cannot expect from every one having same resources now my students many of them they initially they got disturbed actually many people networking problem in Jammu Kashmir totally it was because of that militants and other things going on in Jammu Kashmir and even 370 article withdrawn by GOI many things were going on there also and already it was there because Indo Pak relations due to that also many things are there Particularly Himachal Pradesh, Punjab parts of northern India some time internet facility is there some time it is gone very poor internet facility first of all we already this was the first challenge for us actually now slowly when the students understood without net we cannot work now we don’t have any option then they made their alternative even our students our teachers e also collected money those students who had not mobile smart phone we availed phone also for them, even our university people teachers only  when oxygen cylinder scarcity was there we all faculties collaborate collected some money around 3 lakhs rupes and we gave that gadget to civil hospitals for oxygen cylinders and smart phone to the needy people our dept also help to our students in that way and when they challenges was not 100% we resolved since some we resolved and that was the big challenge for us and students were ok if internet problem is the you come to the mail you come to the whatsapp I will call you lecture should be missed we recorded it and sent it other alternatives also we made if you are there not present we will send records whenever net is there you adjust your time and listen we mail us we will solve the problems what to do, in the words of chat other alternative things we came across. If there is a challenge there is a solution also there is no problem without solution every problem has a solution only we find out solution and do it. And later on you know even very big challenges was evaluation, evaluated our students masters is over how to evaluate our univ made a policy based on the recommendations of the depts. What we have done form the subjective type we made objective type questions and what we have done from the google form, google docs and through that only we need to give to our students and its is policy says 10% is easy questions and higher intellectual feeling easy to hard questions need to be given taxonomy we ….. based on the text… we made evaluation system and through google forms we gave stipulated time within this time only u need to reply evaluation system we completed. Again there is an issue we cannot control 100% cheating google docs whatever it may be somewhere we need to adjust it. Those who are cheating they will not 50 questions they canreply only 20 questions because time is very less. Know the concept within the time frame they will complete it. So evaluation part was one the big challents that also we closed it our students passed out in that semester we are not 100% fully satisfied but somehow not lost the students performance their time and energy actually. Year is not lost. otherwise it will be big problem in their future. We need to also justify our job as we are getting salaries form peoples money then library access we have given. Then again what we are teaching to them resources and literatures, there are literatures how to avail them and our university with the recommendations of all the depts. We had e contents e modules e journals we all had these kinds of things we gave to students Students accessed at their home only those who could not access net at home we allowed them to go to café you spend your time and you can at their convenient time and access Another one is dissertations and research project this also because one hurdle for us. We distributed and allotted the topic how to collect data, collecting data was a big problem how to go to schools, the schools were totally shut down, because this was also ultimate challenge which dept had to solve what we did we gave view based topics analytical topics instead of giving this kind of topics to them that they need to go to schools ok somewhere we compromised our some this kind of things also that you can made google docs and how many things you can get it your sample size can be less you are thinking 200 samples no problem 100, 20, 50, 70 or 80 sample not problem and for phd time was extended no problem they had long time to do that and this projects also we yesterday only conducted viva online. All my students are in satisfactory level they hve done the good job and so 99% they are gold and satisfactory 5% something should be more many be my expectations is little higher. For them actually this is also one of the challenge and even though for when it was lockdown from their personal pocket also to the society we used to go to the society we have given the packets we made food, sugar eatable things we also distributed from our own pockets this should not be discussed as this is interview I am saying otherwise never ever I talk about this. This is the challenges and possibilities were also there that is we came across with that and I feel today actually now all the apps are there my computer is full of apps I can communicate from my computer from my office only and accessibility is increased now we conducted school boards we conducted board of studies I was the chair person of that and here one very good thing actually see we saved our time saved even other resources also money also we saved for university public money through online and even we saved the papers and all that because greenery it effect the granary and the greenery always give oxygen we have seen in the last few months, availability of greenery is very impot and if we use these papers it will definitely our nature and health and positive things also happened and we suggested our students also and project also we have taken in digital every things is going smoothly somewhere quality of education effected and these are the challenges and possibilities which came to us and from you know personal side if I see that for all the faculty were at home it depends on faculty to faculty some faculties are enjoying some faculties are working and we cannot expect from every human being they can be all 100% because the god has given  on plant every individual every having own style and few people wanted to give to the society other people wanted to take from the society both way we wanted to live. That challenge also we accepted and only few people are working other people are enjoying what to do god has given let them enjoy. And we also having great time let them work happily we worked it is only the mindset to which it is mindset to which things we need to make it as a issues or it is solutions and if it is I said my mind is not an issue it is a possibility it is a challenge and it is a learning and it does not remains as a issues. This is all about individual difference but we enjoyed all kind of situations and all kind of issues.
