Every year on November 11, National Education Day is celebrated in India to commemorate the birth anniversary of the first education minister of independent India, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad. Azad, who served from 1947 to 1958, laid the building blocks of the education system in India.
With the advent of digital media, education sector in India has undergone massive transformation in the past one decade. However, there are certain cons associated with the advancement of digital media in the education sector. Dependency on smartphones, internet for content, plagiarism, etc. have slowly started to plague the young minds. A fine balance is required in using digital media and technology as a tool to understand a subject better instead of using it as a crutch to move forward in life.
