Beyond globally-recognised education and learning, studying abroad gives an experience of a lifetime to students. It acts as a launchpad for many to help them build a global career. However, studying abroad is a big decision for students and their parents. They often require expert counselling and seek authentic information about their preferred institutions during the process. In such a scenario, it becomes difficult for students to contact universities and institutions located abroad and discuss their queries and concerns, especially during the pandemic when everyone prefers to stay safe in their homes.
IDP, the global leader in international education services, understood this challenge and launched virtual education fairs where students and parents could connect with over 200 world-class universities and institutions from sought-after countries like Australia, USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland. It has been over 50 years since IDP has been providing world-class assistance to students to fulfil their study abroad dream. Even during the pandemic, IDP has been successfully organising virtual education fairs and have already assisted more than 100,000 students via this platform in 2021 alone. Many students credit IDP’s virtual education fairs to their successful educational journey abroad.
Commenting on Virtual Education Fair, Piyush Kumar, Regional Director (South Asia), IDP Education, said, “Due to the looming pandemic, students have plenty of queries regarding their study abroad plans. With the help of virtual fairs, we provide students with the most authentic information and help them meet representatives of world-class global institutions. Like last year, our focus will be to have maximum prestigious institutions participate in the fair and help students choose the right educational and career path.”
“At IDP, we are committed to providing students with the best advice and top-quality assistance at every step of their international education journey”, Mr Piyush Kumar added.
This year again, IDP is organising virtual education fairs from 21st Jan to 27th Feb to help students planning to study in Australia, USA, UK, Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland in 2022. This can be an excellent opportunity for all aspirants to meet representatives from their dream institutions 1-on-1 and get answers to all their queries.
Students can visit their website (www.idp.com) and book a session as per their liking and availability to interact with IDP’s experts and institutions’ representatives.
-Turning Farmers Tech-savvy to increase their produce
New Delhi, India; In agriculture, India is a land of contradictions. The country produces 11 percent of total global agriculture and at the same time host to the world’s largest number of malnourished people. Agriculture provides a livelihood for about half of the Indian population most of whom are smallholder farmers yet a majority of government agricultural subsidies are used by medium and large scale farmers. All the major revolutions were either farm-centric or production centric with barely any farmer income increment for the farmer.

Dr. Srikanth Sola, Director, CEO and Co-founder, Devic Earth: “India has 9 out of the 10 most polluted cities in the world. But our country has only 800 or so air quality monitoring stations, almost all of which are in the cities. We hope that the Finance Minister will address this critical issue in the Union Budget. Monitoring and Measurement is key and first step towards improvement. India’s projected need is 1,600 to 4,000 air quality monitoring stations spread across tier I-III cities and rural areas. These will enable data driven policies to create tangible improvements in air quality in the shortest possible time. We also expect the government to facilitate conducive policy initiatives like single window clearance to promote technologies and initiatives to combat air pollution menace and provide the citizen clean and healthy air to breath.”
