Shree Damodar College is my alma mater and very close to my heart. The College offers programmes in Commerce, Finance and Computer Applications. All these are areas that are poised to grow exponentially in the near future. The world order is being transformed almost on a daily basis and the COVID pandemic has catalyzed the process of change. Commerce education should now reposition itself to focus on Smart Commerce – this is the future, indeed the present – and it is our responsibility as educators to equip our students for this through the B.Com and M.Com programmes. ICT is the driver of all the change that we are witnessing today and it is set to become even more ubiquitous and pervasive in all spheres of our lives. The Department of Computer Science should ensure that our BCA and B.Voc. students are ready for this world of opportunity when they graduate. Finance permeates all aspects of business and our working and personal lives. The BBA(FS) students again have tremendous opportunities, particularly as self-employed professionals and entrepreneurs, especially with Fintech growing so rapidly.
