The fuzzy and dynamic system-of-systems modelling approach is known internationally to handle subjective uncertainties of real life and blurring the boundaries between disciplines of academia, industry, society and has created new multidisciplinary and transdisciplinary horizons that are relevant to the need of the time. It is evident that systems thinking can expand the external and internal experiential learning of students and the integration of systems and their interactions through subtle interconnections open new vistas for holistic learning. Prof. Prem K. Kalra is the Director of Dayalbagh Educational Institute. Prior to this, he was the founding Director of the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur and has held several academic and administrative positions at premier academic institutes, including several at IIT Kanpur. He adopts system thinking approach to integrate pre-nursery to post-PhD education and works on implementing holistic development based models of education. He is passionate about making a difference to the lives of students and learners through involvement as a policy and opinion leader, as well as through implementation of development initiatives. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
