00:00Viewers, now we are joined by Sushila Karnani from Padhai with AI.
00:07Ma'am, please introduce yourself first.
00:09Namaskar, my name is Sushila Karnani. I am working as a CDO at Tong district.
00:15We are here today and very feeling proud that we are here for Padhai with AI.
00:22It was all around the sound of Padhai with AI.
00:28Actually, it was an initiative taken by Dr. Soumya Jha, who was a district collector at the time.
00:34We worked on it along her.
00:37It was a platform, we can say, that was introduced only for 10th class students.
00:47Around 12,000 students and 353 schools participated in it.
00:53And we just provided them a login, ID, password to every school.
00:59And through that, they can hold the Padhai with AI chat board.
01:04We can say it is a platform there.
01:07Students do have all kinds of solutions along with a number of question papers.
01:13Although we didn't get enough time, but we used it very practically.
01:19And it has the very wonderful and scintillating results around the district.
01:24Every student participated.
01:26We have our tentative calendar.
01:29So, there was a plan that was conducted in every corner of the district, in every school.
01:38Maths teacher just planned the plan.
01:41And then, when we conducted it, the result was very nice.
01:44Students participated very enthusiastically.
01:48And they can solve not only the questions, but if they want the different type of solution.
01:57Just like if there is a solution, we get there.
02:00And students are not getting it very clearly.
02:03So, there was also an option that they can get number of other solutions to.
02:07And as we know that in our book, NCRD book, the paper is designed.
02:14A number of questions are not available in that book particularly.
02:17Multi-choice, fill in the blanks.
02:19But through this chat board, we generated a number of questions.
02:23Because there was an option to provide them a question bank-like.
02:26And we just provided them and planned them until they get it very clearly.
02:32And it's a very true point that in the senior secondary examination time,
02:41around 40 to 60 percent questions were the same as we generated from AI and for the students.
02:49So, we are working on it.
02:51And the result was a drastic change definitely.
02:55Because the inspirational block, only in inspirational block, we get 13 percent raise.
03:02And overall, there was 16 to 17 percent raise in the result.
03:08And we worked only for six weeks because we didn't get enough time.
03:12So, it was a wonderful experience to work with Padhai with AI.
03:16Ma'am, my question to you, there are some students who are only, you know, you talked about the solution thing.
03:22There are students who are not learning or, you know, getting the solutions.
03:26The thing we call ratta marge paasona.
03:29So, with AI coming into the game, has he, you know, engaged students to learn and also to, into the solutions and solving?
03:38Definitely, the major aim and objective was the same as you are asking me.
03:43That the students got, got engaged definitely.
03:46They just, there are the smart classes in every government school these, these days.
03:51So, we just find out that the students were so curious and so happy to use at the time.
04:00And they can just function themselves.
04:04And as well as, it was just a curious point Padhai with AI and artificial intelligence in the rural place, the ground level.
04:16So, it was very wonderful and students even today are doing the same thing.
04:21And now it is a peak time when even they just want to solve themselves.
04:26They just want to have the homework through AI.
04:30They just want to take the different type of help through AI.
04:35And even then, they are demanding that it must not be up to the maths.
04:40It, it must be in every subject.
04:42Ma'am, how did we, did, apply this initiative?
04:46Like, have we given any IDs or any, provided any software?
04:49And how did, how we have, you know, asked students, schools to collaborate into this?
04:56Ma'am, actually, as a chief district education officer, we do have the collaboration with all, all the blocks.
05:02We do have seven blocks there.
05:04So, we had number of meetings and find out the problems through maths teachers, through parents and the environment.
05:13Number of other things, we worked on it.
05:15And then we find that maths is only a kind of horror, we can say this, for the students.
05:23So, we planned for maths.
05:25Dr. Soumya Jha, ma'am, just had worked on it day and night, even on Saturdays and Sundays too.
05:34And, yeah, we just provide them login and ID.
05:39It was an initiative taken by Dr. Soumya Jha with her family member.
05:44And, with the help of maths teachers, along with a number of other technical persons.
05:52So, we just provide ID, password, login ID.
05:55So, it was the first time.
05:57And next, our plan was to provide login and ID to every student, so that they can function it themselves.
06:04So, it is the next step we were just thinking about.
06:07My last question to you would be, are we planning or are we up to any other classes or other subjects?
06:13Are we planning in the future?
06:16It depends on the administration.
06:18Definitely.
06:19It is, as an education officer, it's a pleasure for us if we are having number of other initiative,
06:26a number of other, these type of things.
06:28And we are, they are very first to use all these things.
06:32How many messages to the students through ETV Bharat you want to give, like to study and not to, you know, ratta-fy the things?
06:41Any messages for the students?
06:43Yeah, the most important thing I would like to say that ratta and learning, it is no room at that time when we are functioning and working on that point.
06:57So, at the time of artificial intelligence, at the time of internet, we should use every moment to learn, to know, to explore number of things.
07:09Because the app we are using there, we feel that students are feeling as if they are exploring, not they are rote learning or they are just doing or completing their course.
07:22It was just as if they are exploring, they are just filling their number of questions and they are feeling that fill in the blanks if we are getting.
07:32So, yeah, if our studies are, if we want to be true educated person, we should leave all those type of rote learnings and stick on the new ideas.
07:45Thank you so much for talking to ETV Bharat.
07:48ETV Bharat.
