Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha today launched AICTE’s Personal & Institutional Happiness Index App – ‘YourOneLife-YOL’, at the Convention Center, Jammu.
The ‘YourOneLife’ is a “Made in India” app that will show the index of personal and institutional happiness and around 12000 Higher Educational Institutions and more than 50 lakh students will benefit from it.
Speaking on the occasion, the Lt Governor congratulated the educational institutions, students, Prof. Anil D. Sahasrbudhe, Chairman, AICTE and the founding team of Sh Yogesh Kochhar and Sh Anoop Bansal, who are associated with AICTE.
The Lt Governor noted that consistent technological interventions and fast connectivity have revolutionized almost every aspect of human life. Today, there is hardly any area where the digital revolution has not reached, he added.
“Technology is a great enabler. We need to bridge the digital divide and create a fine balance for online tools and value-based offline education”, observed the Lt Governor.
The Lt Governor emphasized the need for creating a system where Digital and Natural rivers do not compete but complement each other.
“As in the old days, the way civilization and markets developed on the banks of natural rivers, in the 21st century, we can see a complete civilization on the banks of the Digital River. All the technology companies and social media giants have become symbols of new civilization, power and mobility, he added.
Five years ago, no one could have imagined that all the public related services would be available sitting at home. Despite Covid, schools, universities, colleges were running with the help of software, the Lt Governor said.
The Lt Governor observed that new Technology has created conveniences but it depends on how the user uses it. “More power has come in our hands. And it is very important to think how the young generation uses this power”, he asserted.
