PORVORIM
Cabinet Minister Rohan Khaunte has said technology plays an important role in every aspect of people, adding that it is also crucial to language learning throughout the world at all levels.
We are as likely to find it in the primary sector as in adult education. There are many education experts who believe that technology has upgraded the system of education in the world, which is true to some extent,” said Khaunte, while speaking at the concluding function of the 21st Konknni Sahitya Academy in Porvorim.
“But there are many others who believe this advancement in technology also has a bad effect on education. Students are becoming highly dependent on devices to complete their work rather than depending on their own knowledge and this is obviously a negative signal towards the growth of education and humanity in the modern world.”
“Use of technology should make the youth to learn the language in depth, which is possible through Audio Books,” he added.
President of Konknni Sahitya Sammelan Naman Sawant Dhawaskar stated writing is one of the more difficult tasks because a lot goes into expressing thoughts in writing and called upon writers to do a lot of reading to improve one’s knowledge so that one can write convincingly.
Principal of Vidhyaprabhodini College Dr Bhushan Bhave, Vice-President of Goa Konknni Academy Vasant Bhagwant Sawant and Rakesh Kumar also spoke on the occasion.
President of Goa Konknni Academy Arun Sakhardande, President of Prabhodan Education Society Sanjay Walavalkar and Dharshan Kandolkar were also present at the event.
On the occasion, Sampada Kunkoliekar and Udai Mhambro were felicitated by the guests.
