Seminar on 'Role of ICT in Sustainable Development – The Road Ahead' Organized by TERI and Dell

Under the flagship project Climate EduXchange, an initiative of TERI and Dell, the forum aims at harnessing the power of ICT (Information, Communication and Technology) to reach out to students and teachers on key issues related to Climate Change. Schools, colleges, academia representatives, NGOs, and youth organisations from across the globe participated in a day-long seminar that provided a platform to discuss and deliberate on the concerns on ICT and its efficacy in education and sustainable development. The deliberations of the seminar will be documented and made available for larger circulation.

Present at the inaugural session were Mr Ganesh Lakshminarayanan, President and Managing Director, Dell India; Dr RK Pachauri, Director General, TERI; and Ms Ranjana Saikia, Director, Educating Youth for Sustainable Development, TERI.

Lauding TERI and DELL’s efforts in sensitising schools on this very important issue, Dr RK Pachauri, Director General, TERI, said, that the seminar provides a platform for students and teachers to share information and ideas across disciplines. Education for sustainable development is not only related to education, environment, economy, and society, it also looks at skills, perspectives, and values that guide and motivate people to look, work and live in a more sustainable world.
