Ask Teachers, Not AI: Prof Himkumar Chatterjee At MIT-ADT In Pune

Educational institutions and universities are built on the foundation of their teachers and the students they cultivate, according to Prof Himkumar Chatterjee, a distinguished mural artist and the Vice-Chancellor of Sir JJ School of Art, Architecture and Design in Mumbai. Chatterjee emphasized that teachers have the power to elucidate a subject and enable students to grasp its depths.
Consequently, he advocated that students should direct their inquiries to teachers instead of relying exclusively on artificial intelligence.
The educational leader made these remarks during the Vishwarambh Kala Award ceremony, organized by MIT Art, Design and Technology University in Loni-Kalbhor. Dr Sudhakar Chavan, a renowned senior educationist and visual artist, was presented with the prestigious Vishwarambh Kala Award for his significant contributions to visual arts. His son, Amit Chavan, accepted the award in his father's stead.
Chatterjee went on to emphasize that artworks often outlive their creators and urged artists to consider not solely commercial interests but also their impact on society and art. "Art remains with a person until the end of life. A person who truly appreciates art can grasp the profound human values inherent in it," he stated.
The event was graced by MIT ADT Executive Director Jyoti Karad-Dhakane, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Dr Nachiket Thakur, and Dean Dr Ganesh Taratre. The proceedings also included the launch of the 'AQ' magazine, the unveiling of the 'Kalakosh' logo, and an exhibition showcasing student artworks.
