EVs are gaining prominence in logistics fleets, ranging from vans to long-haul trucks. They provide zero emissions, lower operating costs, reduced maintenance, and quieter operations. Future advancements will include faster charging, AI-powered route management, and widespread charging hubs. Beyond drones and EVs, other innovations shaping logistics include autonomous vehicles (self-driving trucks and robots), AI & predictive analytics for efficiency, and blockchain for secure, transparent supply chain tracking. Green & Sustainable Logistics emphasizes eco-friendly practices such as solar-powered warehouses, recyclable packaging, and carbon-neutral supply chains. The presentation concluded by highlighting that logistics is rapidly evolving with drones, EVs, AI, and sustainability at its core. These innovations will make supply chains faster, more cost-effective, and environmentally responsible, enabling businesses to meet rising global demands while promoting green growth.

Dr. Lt. G. Mahaveer delivered an interactive, thoughtful, and valuable presentation on the topic “NEP 2020: A Student-Centric Approach to Learning.” The session highlighted the flaws in the traditional education system, which has proven to be insufficient in adapting to changing environments. Significant changes were made in the years 1968, 1986, and most recently in 2020.India is a diverse country, so implementing changes in the education system takes time. Many graduates still struggle with basic communication skills, such as speaking and writing in proper English.
The New Education Policy (NEP 2020) has transformed the existing structure into a 5+3+3+4 system. The outdated model has been scrapped. The Indian government has planned to allocate 6% of the GDP to the education sector.
The revised educational stages are as follows:
Foundation stage: Up to 5 years of age (No exam will be conducted)
Preparatory stage: Ages 8 to 11 (No exam will be conducted)
Middle stage: Ages 11 to 14 (only objective type exam)
Secondary stage: Ages 14 to 18 (written exam)
Higher education: 3 to 4 years of graduation
The foundation stage will focus on learning in the mother tongue for better understanding. The middle stage will emphasize experiential learning and the inclusion of vocational courses. Looking ahead, the education system will be increasingly influenced and controlled by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Those who learn to integrate AI into their fields will have a significant advantage. In conclusion, Dr. Mahaveer emphasized that “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world.”
