Anoop Singh Bishnoi – On Education and His Entrepreneurial Journey

-

 


Co-director and Promoter of Bisco Ltd., Anoop Singh Bishnoi is working on a master plan to provide companionship and assist young aspirants to reach their educational goals, all of this while paving the way for their future opportunities in the global industries.

The serial entrepreneur – Anoop Singh Bishnoi, is currently working on several projects including Associated Distilleries Ltd., Bhanu Industries Ltd., and BISCO Ltd. He’s also a Chairman at JDS School and Friends Of Round Square ( now, Forum of Regional Schools). He has served as a member of the board of Governors at IIT, Kanpur and at present holds the same position at The Doon School, Dehradun.

A Passion To Support Learning

Bishnoi holds a strong background in the educational and corporate/commercial sector, and it is this passion that drives him to teach students more than what’s there in textbooks. He believes that the only way to empower people is through education, but education alone can’t do everything, and one needs to develop a set of skills to bring their lessons to use.

At present, he’s working on bringing innovative education practices in his regional school, with a focus to develop essential skills in children from an early age, so they can adapt to the myriad skill sets that tomorrow’s jobs will need.

To Keep That Curiosity Alive

Bishnoi calls himself a lifelong learner and he strongly believes that growth is a part of life, and indeed we all grow with time… but to grow in the direction of success, one needs support and assistance, and that’s what he’s passionate to deliver.

To turn his desire into action, he’s currently involved in multiple social work programs across the country. From providing scholarships for students who lack the financial means to pursue higher education to distributing funds, his foundations are doing all that it takes to help diligent students achieve their dreams.

At present, the family foundation is in the process of setting up colleges, a school, and a skill development center in Dist. Fazilka, Punjab.

It would be interesting to see how he takes it forward in the near future, and how it will impact education and society in the coming time.

While the number of illiterate youth has decreased from 170 million to 115 million, nonetheless, the gender gap in literacy rates has remained relatively stable. For example, India has a significant gender disparity. Approximately 75% of Indian men have at least a basic level of literacy, while 51% of Indian women are literate. Some of the findings of a survey conducted among teachers, parents, and students to understand their perceptions and attitudes towards gender in the education space were as follows: most parents believe that nurturing and caring for children are basic responsibilities of women. Most parents believe that women tolerate violence for the sake of the family, and they point to symbols of sacrifice and compassion as evidence. According to 34% of parents, the main cause of sexual abuse is girls’ behavior and sartorial style. Around 40% of teachers also stated that they assign decoration tasks to girls and tangible physical tasks to boys. To address a deeply embedded

Does CUET reduce Students’ pressure-A Bane or Beacon for Students

-

Last year, the Union government announced that all admissions to Central Universities for undergraduate courses would be decided by a Common University Entrance Test (CUET). The CUET’s goals are admirable, and it is likely that this will change the education landscape in a few years. After all, unreasonable high school cutoffs are a legitimate concern, and the CUET may, in the long run, level the playing field for students across the country. However, there are more arguments against the common entrance exam than for it. The concept of bringing uniformity to the admissions process via a centralized exam is not novel. In 2010, the Central University CET was used for admission to 1,500 seats in seven new Central universities. By 2020, the entrance examination had grown to include 14 new central universities and four state universities. The real question here is whether the Common Entrance Test is more discriminatory than the previous method of admitting students based on their performanc

To Stay Safe Online – Tips for Teens

Children today are safer than ever before in a variety of ways. Better public safety, less “stranger danger,” and more logic however the twenty-first century brings new challenges to child safety, particularly when considering the digital environment. Children are voracious consumers of digital technologies. Despite all of the opportunities provided by the digital world, such as playing, learning, and socializing, digital engagement poses risks to children’s safety that can have real-world consequences. Many risks in the digital world are analogous to those in the physical world. Bullies can reach their victims online just as easily as they can in the schoolyard. Children can be exposed to hate speech and racism through the virtual games they play, videos they watch, and communication apps they use. Some risks, however, are more specific to the digital environment, such as sending or receiving sexually explicit messages online, or the use and misuse of children’s data. Pop-ups in app
