Globarena in association with NASSCOM are pleased to organize an Industry-Academia meet “Changing Trends - An Industry and Academia Perspective” on 24th July 2010 at Atria Hotel, Palace Road, Bangalore.
India, like any other knowledge economy, depends on the development of its educational sector. Higher education drives the competitiveness and employment generation in India. There is a severe constraint on the availability of skilled professionals. There exist socio-economic, cultural, time and geographical barriers for people who wish to pursue higher education. Innovative use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) can potentially solve this problem.
Education is the driving force of economic and social development in any country. Considering this, it is necessary to find ways to make education of good quality, accessible and affordable to all, using the latest technology available. |

| This meet will focus on: |
- Utility of technology to improve performance and effectiveness in teaching
