An Electronics Engineer by qualification and an Edupreneur by passion I, Mrs. Astha Kataria am the Managing Trustee of Ashoka Group of Schools since 2007. I strongly believe that the primary aim of education is to bring about a synergy between students, their parents and educators.I uphold the tenet that education should be dynamic and ever-evolving. At Ashoka Group of Schools I am constantly working towards facilitating learning that transcends the bounds of mere knowledge and rather instigates application. Learning according to me should be natural and not mechanized. I constantly strive to strike a balance in creating lifelong learners while inculcating deep-rooted Indian ethos and values in them. And with this in mind, we applied for a TEDxYouth license last year. After having successfully hosted TEDxYouth@AUS (Ashoka Universal School) on the 15th December 2019, we are excited to host the next TEDxYouth event and bring to our audience who mostly comprise of our students a plethora of insightful, vibrant and dynamic youth who through their talks can share their ideas and life experiences.
