CHANGING HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICES IN PURVIEW OF COVID-19 LOCKDOWN ON THE TEACHING AND NON-TEACHING STAFF ACROSS COLLEGES IN MUMBAI

Abstract: With more than 28 lakh people infected worldwide and 1.97 lakh dead, the COVID-19 pandemic shows no signs of abating. Educators and students around the world are feeling the extraordinary ripple effect of the novel Coronavirus as schools and colleges shut down amid the public health emergency. While temporary school closures as a result of health and other crises are not new, unfortunately, the global scale and speed of the current educational disruption are unparalleled and if prolonged, could threaten the right to education. A multi-pronged strategy is necessary to manage the crisis and build a resilient Indian education system in the long term. While health officials scramble to get a grip on multiple outbreaks, the education institutes of Mumbai have left no stones unturned in order to continue imparting quality education to the students. The present study was undertaken to find the changing Human Resource practices in the purview of COVID-19 Lockdown on the Teaching and Non-Teaching staff across Colleges in Mumbai.

CHANGING HUMAN RESOURCE PRACTICES IN PURVIEW OF COVID-19 LOCKDOWN

Key words: COVID-19, Commerce colleges, Lockdown, Teaching & Non-teaching Staff.

Introduction

Modern technology is enabling professionals from the education sector to think out of the box, beyond the traditional classroom learning and explore the world of E-content and E-Learning by maximizing the use of online resources. E-content is a very powerful tool of education. E-content is valuable to the learners and also helpful to teachers of all individual instruction systems; E-content is the latest method of instruction that is used by professionals in the teaching sector. Education Teaching plays a vital role in the formal education system. In spite of established sound theories of teaching, it still continues to be a challenging task. Teaching-centre and group-oriented methods of instruction hardly provide for individual differences of the learners. E-learning is the new trend of education. The term covers a wide set of applications and processes, such as web-based learning, computer-based learning, virtual classrooms, and digital collaboration. Increased preservation, reduced learning time are other benefits to students.

As the days pass by with no immediate solution to stop the outbreak of COVID-19, school and university closures will not only have a short-term impact on the continuity of learning for more than 285 million young learners in India but also engender far-reaching economic and societal consequences. This has also impacted the smooth functioning of schools, colleges, and universities across the globe thus hampering the learning process and day-to-day functioning of teaching and non-teaching staff along with the students. However, modern-day technology has made it possible to work from home rather than solely relying on “only working from office” practice which is now a thing of the past. Needless to say, the pandemic has transformed the centuries-old, chalk–talk teaching model to one driven by technology. Hence this study was undertaken to find the changing Human Resource practices in the purview of COVID-19 Lockdown on the Teaching and NonTeaching staff across Colleges in Mumbai.

Literature Review

Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi assessed the novel Corona Virus’ impact on the Indian economy and the possibility of a second stimulus package to boost sectors hit hard by the pandemic. Several multilateral agencies, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, have drastically cut their India GDP growth forecasts for 2020-21 after economic activity in the country halted due to the spread of the Coronavirus. Currently, school closures in over a dozen countries due to the COVID-19 outbreak have disrupted the education of at least 290.5 million students worldwide, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization. The National Policy on Education (1986) has emphasized the application of Educational Technology to Improve the Quality of Education at all levels. It has also laid special emphasis on using computers in the teaching-learning process. The rapid development in computer technology, together with the use of computers by teachers, paved the way for the introduction of computers in teaching and learning. With the advancement of technology, the computer has become more user friendly, so the teachers can attempt to develop E-content while working from home. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised its global GDP growth estimate from 3.3% just 3 months ago to a contraction of 3%, something not seen since the Great Depression of the 1930s. IMF says India will remain the ‘fastest-growing major economy in 2020’. But one must remember that the COVID-19 onslaught is only at its initial phase. As the vaccine is yet to be found, lockdowns remain the only way to slow down its speed.

  31. 폰테크
    휴대폰테크란 모바일 기기를 통해 빠르게 현금을 확보하는 정상적인 자금 조달 방법입니다. 기존의 단순한 휴대폰 구매와는 다르게 통신사와 유통 구조, 매입 시스템을 활용하여 현금을 확보하는 구조를 가지고 있으며, 진행 과정이 간단하고 진입 장벽이 낮다는 특징이 있습니다. 은행 대출이 부담되거나 급전이 필요한 상황에서 대안적인 방법으로 활용되는 경우가 많습니다.

    휴대폰 테크의 일반적인 절차는 비교적 간단합니다. 통신사 정책에 맞춰 휴대폰을 개통한 후, 해당 단말기를 매입 업체를 통해 처분합니다. 매입 금액은 기종, 시세, 통신 조건에 따라 결정되며, 정산 금액은 현금이나 계좌로 받게 됩니다. 이후 발생하는 요금과 할부금은 사용자 책임으로 관리해야 하며, 이 부분에 대한 관리가 매우 중요합니다. 이는 불법 대출과는 다른 구조로, 휴대폰을 하나의 자산처럼 활용하는 방식이라고 볼 수 있습니다.

    폰테크는 일반적인 은행 대출과 비교했을 때 여러 차별점을 가집니다. 복잡한 심사나 서류 절차가 거의 없고, 단시간 내 자금 마련이 가능하다는 점이 대표적인 장점입니다. 금융 이력이 남지 않기 때문에 신용도에 부담을 느끼는 경우에도 접근이 가능합니다. 다만 요금이나 할부금이 연체될 경우 신용 상태에 불리하게 작용할 수 있으므로 책임 있는 이용이 필수적입니다.

    사람들이 폰테크를 선택하는 이유는 다양합니다. 갑작스럽게 현금이 필요한 상황, 신용 문제로 대출이 어려운 경우, 단기적인 자금 회전이 필요한 경우 등 다양한 상황에서 고려됩니다. 특히 빠른 자금 유동성이 필요한 경우 현실적인 대안으로 선택되는 경우가 많습니다.

    폰테크를 통해 마련한 자금은 투자 자금, 사업 운영비, 생활 자금 등 다양한 용도로 사용되기도 합니다. 다만 자금 사용에 대한 책임은 모두 본인에게 있으며, 모든 투자에는 리스크가 따른다는 점을 충분히 인지해야 합니다. 이 방식은 이익을 약속하는 구조가 아니라 단순한 자금 마련 방법이라는 점을 이해해야 합니다.

    폰테크는 합법적인 구조이지만 유의해야 할 점이 있습니다. 과도한 휴대폰 개통은 통신사 제재의 대상이 될 수 있으며, 요금 납부 능력을 고려하지 않은 진행은 부담이 될 수 있습니다. 또한 고수익을 보장하거나 명의 대여를 요구하는 업체는 피해야 하며, 절차는 항상 합법적이고 투명하게 진행되어야 합니다.

    결론적으로, 해당 방식은 통신 구조를 이용한 합법적인 자금 조달 방법으로, 충분한 이해와 책임 있는 관리가 동반될 경우 단기 자금 확보에 도움이 될 수 있습니다. 무엇보다 사전 정보 확인과 신중한 선택이 가장 중요합니다.
