5 Brief write-up about the Workshop Highlighting its Importance Higher education is a dynamic, continually evolving concept that keeps adapting to the most up-to-date changes. Likewise, the methodology used in teaching and research is equally momentary in nature and demands up-to-date approaches as well. Educationists need to absorb the fundamental nature of the evolutionary character of higher education in academic curriculum, empowering students and scholars to create an updated learning process that is pragmatic, effective and methodically impactful. The watchful and deliberate efforts by policy-makers and academicians have put in place a set of practices within higher educational institutions that provide the most engaging opportunities for the students to acquire competencies and skills. This enables them to be fully equipped for the challenges now emerging in our global society. In this age of information surplus era, it is important for the higher educational institutions in general and teachers in particular to drop down and share information that has relevance in terms of budding specific employable skills. When the educators and organizational leaders in our country's higher education firmly and ardently dedicate themselves to implement certain guidelines for themselves and for the students in their realm of responsibility, the young students cultivated in an environment where they are proficient enough to develop holistic capabilities. With the advent of National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) in India, one can foresee a radical turnaround in the way quality education that will be made available by higher educational institutions in the next few years. The dependence on the already popular teaching aid - technology will soon become an indispensable tool that will offer more flexibility to the students and the teachers. The traditional classroom set-up is fast being replaced by methods that encourage greater participation and interaction between the students and the teachers. With such a set-up in the offing, education will never remain confined to mere information but will be an experience that touches lives forever. This way, it may be able to certainly connect the society with directional quality education in India. In order to redefine quality education, universities need to blend high value deliveries with modern learning tools to ensure that each institution has a safe, healthy, energizing, intellectually challenging, and joyful learning environment. The pedagogical fraternity needs to be committed to engage students in active, collaborative and technology-based learning methodologies to develop formative and summative assessments of student progress and learning. As educators, it is our mission to facilitate the development of global citizens - individuals with self-confidence who are able to contribute to community life, to build tolerance, and to be accountable. Moreover, students and scholars should be capable of dealing with intellectual, emotional and spiritual platforms constructively. A regular introspection of our teaching/research methodology and curriculum can go a long way in making our learning process more relevant and dynamic in the wake of changing times. Educators at all levels need, personally and professionally, to take on the vital task of equipping students and scholars to face every challenge and use every opportunity as they become effective and productive global citizens and leaders of tomorrow. Hence, quality education is becoming the need of the hour. In view of above, the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, Hisar proposes to organize the Two Days National Workshop on Emerging Trends in Quality Education: The Road Ahead on February 22-23, 2013 with the financial assistance on NAAC, Bangalore DIRECTOR, IQAC, GURU JAMBHESHWAR UNIVERSITY OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, HISAR (HARYANA) Page 4 of 4
