Techno Main Salt Lake in collaboration with IETE (The Institution of Electronics and Telecommunications Engineers) organized a week- long staff development program starting from 1st July 2024 till 5th July 2024, the central theme being Digital Transformation with AI in Office Administration. The program aimed to equip the non-academic staff members with knowledge and skills essential for integrating AI into office administration. The main objective is to encourage them to adopt AI-driven solutions to streamline office operations. The sessions have been designed to introduce the role of AI in enhancing efficiency, productivity, and decision-making in administrative tasks. At the end of the staff development program participants will be familiar with practical applications of AI tools adopt AI-driven solutions to streamline office operations.
The program started around 3pm, with the welcoming of the dignitaries. Chief Guest for the program was Prof. Manoshi Roy Chowdhury, Co-Chairperson of the group and the Co-Chancellor of TIU. The other dignitaries also present for the inauguration ceremony were Dr. Dipankar Bhattacharya, Principal, TMSL and Prof. Soumitra Sasmal, Registrar, TMSL. The respected dignitaries inaugurated the session by Lighting the Lamp.
The session started with a deliberation by our very own Manoshi Madam. Though she isn’t an expert of AI, but very lucidly explained to all the non-academic staff the landscape of digital transformation. She mentioned that we had started transforming during the covid days. When the entire world came to a standstill, how we took baby steps and adopted technology to set the ball rolling, again. She even mentioned that even if AI is the most trending thing, we should not lose the humane touch. It is after all Humans who design and run technology. She immensely appreciated the efforts of such a program being designed and organized that would enable the staff to be more efficient and productive. She inspired each and every participant to be Life Long Learners.
After a very short break, there was a session with Prof. Rupa Mukherjee. She took an enriching session on Unplugging Work Dynamics. She covered aspects of interpersonal behavior in order to maintain harmony at workplace, how to be a team – player, how to deal with our stakeholders and the essence of transactional analysis. These are topics that we deal with in our everyday lives and hence her session was educational as well as elevating.
The first day fostered a culture of innovation and readiness to embrace digital transformation in office practices, positioning the college at the forefront with modern administrative practices.
This program not only contributed to individual professional development but also laid the foundation for ongoing improvements in administrative efficiency through AI integration. Techno India College remains committed to advancing staff capabilities in emerging technologies, ensuring continued excellence in educational and administrative practices.
