Knowledge Society

Knowledge society - Wikipedia, UNESCO REPORT

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knowledge_society

A knowledge society generates, shares, and makes available to all members of the society knowledge that may be used to improve the human condition. A knowledge society differs from an information society in that the former serves to transform information into resources that allow society to take effective action, while the latter only creates and disseminates the

The growth of Information and communication technology (ICT) has significantly increased the world's capacity for creation of raw data and the speed at which it is produced. The advent of the Internet delivered unheard-of quantities of information to people. The evolution of the internet from Web 1.0 to Web 2.0 offered individuals tools to connect with eac

A crucial attribute of knowledge society is an extraordinary increase of complexity of knowledge which affects not only one country but the whole world.

What is Knowledge Society

A knowledge society refers to a society in which the creation, dissemination, and use of knowledge play a central role in economic, political, and cultural life. It is characterized by an increased reliance on information and communication technologies and the ability of individuals to access, process, and use the information to improve their lives. The knowledge society values education, innovation, and the exchange of ideas, and seeks to create conditions that support the development and application of new knowledge to solve problems and meet human needs.

UNESCO PAPER , UNESCO REPORT
A new society formed as a result of the contemporary societal change pushed by technological innovation and institutional transformation, which is not only about technological innovations, but also about human beings, their personal growth and their individual creativity, experience and participation in the generation of knowledge. The primary role of cities in a knowledge society is to ensure that their knowledge sources are passed on and advanced by each generation. Learn more in: Knowledge-Based Urban Development

2. A wider concept of information society; entails commitment of persons as knowers. Learn more in: The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Competence of the Young

3. In an evolutionary view, it can be seen as the successor of a previous phase, the “information society” (IS), which in turn followed the “industrial society”. IS was so called because of the huge flow of information that was triggered by the advent of computers, data processing systems and communications. In the knowledge society, knowledge, and not mere information, is the most valuable asset. It is what is in the head of people (tacit knowledge) and what can materialize tangibly in the physical world, as print, or human exchanges (explicit knowledge). It is what drives the economy in the new millennium. Learn more in: Ambient Intelligence

4. An association of people that have similar interests, be they social, economic, political, cultural and so on and by making effective use of their collective knowledge in their areas of interest thereby contributing to further knowledge that will lead to national progress and global development.

KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY INITIATIVE

[2:32]

قَالُوا سُبْحَانَكَ لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا إِلَّا مَا عَلَّمْتَنَا ۖ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ

KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY INITIATIVE - Life Long Learning Centers for Developing Human Resources through free World Class Education at the Doorsteps.

DEFINITION: A knowledge society refers to a society in which the creation, dissemination, and use of knowledge play a central role in economic, political, and cultural life. It is characterized by an increased reliance on information and communication technologies and the ability of individuals to access, process, and use the information to improve their lives. The knowledge society values education, innovation, and the exchange of ideas, and seeks to create conditions that support the development and application of new knowledge to solve problems and meet human needs.

In the digital age world class education as well as skills are universally accessible as such depending on BRICK and MORTAR facilities of questionable standards will fail to prepare competitive HR for a global world. There is definite need for reorientation towards methods and facilities made accessible by technology. Readers can visit the following post to get a better idea of my advocacy:
https://hisamullahbeg.blogspot.com/2016/12/every-home-unique-world-class.html

This community-based self-help project has been initiated to provide world-class education/skills, from ECD to UNIVERSITY, as well as free medical cover to all populations in our region. I expect that many of you will participate in this endeavour through the LSO/VO/WO/Government sponsored schools and health units of various descriptions located close to your home.

"It is quite clear that both in India and Pakistan we have to find now a much more vigorous solution to the problems of education, and there are problems not only in access because the figures are very large indeed; it is also an issue of quality, and it probably is going to become an issue of curriculum. There is a national curriculum in all these situations and you have to teach the national curriculum, but there are additional needs in my view to educate the Jamat which need to be offered in our school system so that our children will be better equipped for the decades ahead. That is one priority issue we need to look at." 28TH NOVEMBER 2002.

MOOCS Are Transforming Education in India

Saying “MOOCs have taken India by storm” would be an understatement; anyone with an internet connection can now access free university classes from Harvard, Stanford, MIT to India’s own IIT (Indian Institutes of Technology) and ISB (Indian School of Business). Access to higher education in India will no longer be bound by arduous entrance exams, limits on student enrollment, or the availability of money and time. The number of internet users in India has reached 462 million (with a penetration rate of 35% of the total population), and it currently represents the second-largest national group enrolled in MOOCs after the USA. In this context, the Government of India is striving hard to leverage the potential of the higher education sector to reach more students and to build a knowledge-based society through more intensive and optimized use of technology.
The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD) has introduced the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT) which aims to benefit all learners enrolled in higher education institutions. The Mission’s objectives are to promote e-content generation, increase connectivity between institutions and learners, and provide open educational resources, such as virtual laboratories and learning platforms, as well as online testing and certification. It aims to increase the online availability of teachers and to improve training so as to empower teachers to use new learning methods.
Thanks to these advances in India specifically IIT (Indian Institutes of Technology) and ISB (Indian School of Business) have made the majority of these courses also available to every home in our region freely through the satellite receiver Breathing Life Into Outdated Curriculum - these can easily be recorded on a USB at one receiving station e.g. at the idea demonstration station at my home in Hunza and distributed to all desirous of acquiring compatible knowledge and skills in a global world.

DIAMOND JUBILEE GOALS – 11th July 2017;
1. Poverty alleviation.
2. Stabilization and strengthening of institutions.
3. Improvement in education from early childhood to tertiary education.
4. Improvement in infrastructure particularly water and energy.

ROLE OF CIVIL SOCIETY:

“This endeavor was based on the ever-increasing appreciation that the social change and the improvement in the quality of life of the various communities around the world is driven by the capacities of civil society. Increasingly the role of the governments is expected to be an abler for the civil society to grow positively. Fortunately in many of the countries where the Jamat is living public and private sectors recognize the need and benefit to integrate the civil society and it is within that context since the last ten years the AKDN has expanded its activities.”
“An important facet of modern development thinking is that societies can best strengthen themselves by mobilizing their own dynamic forces rather than relying on external support and direction.”
"The AKDN because of multiplicity of its activities in economics, health, education, cultural activities and others is exceptionally well placed to enhance the development of civil society in many countries of the world. It is led by generous men and women who offer their competencies and their time, many without any compensation so as to contribute to the improvement of quality of life in their societies. These initiatives draw support from our as well as other communities and institutions and their outcomes are measured against best practices. Both measuring device and optimization of performance are key contributors to positive outcomes, thus I wish to thank them today all those who have contributed and are contributing to our actions in various parts of the world through various entities and to say how much I admire and am grateful for their work."

Multifaceted Proposal towards “Knowledge Society”:

Many of the VO/WOs in our region have savings running into a few million each. Rs. 50,000/00 safe investment in a project doable in seven days can be accomplished to provide electricity for 3 to 4 hours each day and a single distant learning/telemedicine station (DATA DRIVEN HEALTH CARE) to a cluster of ten households. Idea demonstration project running in Khurukushal Khan WO under BRSO since 2013. This can be replicated in each WO/VO without waiting for external inputs.

TELEMEDICINE

Welcome development, Chinese establishes three state-of-the-art lifelong learning centres and open universities in Hunza towards the development of HR in the global world. Propose the LSOs in the area must motivate populations to avail of these facilities, and also name these centres in the context of dedicated individuals of their respective regions. In Altit, I propose the centre be named GHULAMUDDIN LIFELONG LEARNING CENTER AND OPEN UNIVERSITY.

Free high-speed INTERNET in Hunza, part of Cross Border Optical Fiber Cable Project:
The infrastructure has been provided by the Chinese and also tested. Will be available to populations only when GOP (SCO) issues NOC. We request GOP to facilitate the establishment of a KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY in the region by issuing the NOC.

I am willing to train all TKN volunteers towards effective utilization of these facilities as these are steps towards attainment of three of the four D. J. Goals.

Militancy within Muslim Societies

RELATED: CONSTITUTIONAL STATUS, INTERNATIONAL DESIGNS, SECTARIAN CONFLICT, BELT and ROAD, LATEST, MODI SPEECH, and RALLY IN HUNZA.

Note: This interview of a cohort will show how the enemies of our homeland operate to create frenzy around SENSITIVITIES. Sustained advocacy of Indian sponsored activists in our region. Some of such activists have repented yet others are still active within the society and fomenting discord. Save our region from people advocating FASAD.

Engendering MILITANCY in Muslim societies around popular themes/deep sensitivities - through local vehicles - (hireling) is an established world-wide policy of the World Powers following a capitalistic economical system. KKH is one of the important land routes available to the emerging economy and concurrent world status of our good neighbor and a very visible challenge to domination of traditional players.

“The BRI is an important factor behind the central government's urge to bring the restive region of Xinjiang once and for all under its control,” Adversaries have long adopted terrorism based on extreme ideologies - SALAFI MOVEMENT - as a STRATEGIC WEAPON - a potent option in Pakistan as well towards opposition of China's Belt and Road Initiative.

I appeal to all those playing with emotions of the youth and guiding them towards militancy through slogans appealing to common sense, to divert their advocacies towards establishing a "KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY".

Kindly go through these words of wisdom once again and relook at the multifaceted proposal that has been tagged to all with a potential to contribute.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM THE GUIDE:

"A vast decentralisation of decision-making is already occurring in many countries; it has the advantage of placing new responsibilities in the hands of local communities.... For the key to future progress will lie less in traditional top-down systems of command and control -- and more in a broad, bottom-up spirit of coordination and cooperation."

"Social progress, in the long run, will not be found by delegating an all-dominant role to any one player -- but rather through multi-sector partnerships. And within each sector of society, diversity should be a watchword. Healthy communities must respect a range of educational choices ... [The Ummah] must become full and even leading participants in the knowledge-society of the 21st Century. That will mean embracing the values of collaboration and coordination, openness and partnership, choice and diversity -- which will under-gird the Knowledge Society, learning constantly to review and revise and renew what we think we know -- learning how to go on learning. In the age of the Internet, knowledge is universally shaped, universally accessible, and universally applied. And successful institutions of learning must be global institutions.... [I]n the Knowledge Society, productive research is most often partnership research ... sharing agendas and exchanging insights. New knowledge is a constantly unfolding gift of God -- but it is rarely something that is achieved in isolation."

Multifaceted Proposal towards “Knowledge Society”:

MANY OF THE VOs/WOs IN OUR REGION HAVE SAVINGS RUNNING INTO A FEW MILLION EACH. RS. 50,000/00 SAFE INVESTMENT IN A PROJECT doable in seven days CAN BE ACCOMPLISHED TO PROVIDE ELECTRICITY FOR 3 TO 4 HOURS EACH DAY AND A SINGLE DISTANT LEARNING/TELEMEDICINE STATION TO A CLUSTER OF TEN HOUSEHOLDS. IDEA DEMONSTRATION PROJECT RUNNING IN KHURUKUSHAL KHAN WO UNDER BRSO SINCE 2013. THIS CAN BE REPLICATED IN EACH OF WO/VO WITHOUT WAITING FOR EXTERNAL INPUTS.
Fresh Development: Present “people Friendly” and “Forward Looking” District administration is actively perusing the multifaceted Solar Energy option for collaborative implementation through the Civil Society (LSO’s in Hunza-Nager) as a model project ultimately for entire GB.
I am therefore suggesting to all aspirants from various political inclinations to re-direct their campaign budgets – coming either from hard earned saving or sponsored – towards this “Knowledge Society” project with almost no risk of loosing your precious life saving.

What is an Egalitarian Society: An egalitarian society is one where every person is entitled to equal rights, receive equal treatment and opportunities. These societies comprise of groups of people who agree to live together in these societies as egalitarianism as one of their core values.

Egalitarianism is the position that equality is central to justice. Egalitarians think, firstly, that unfair life prospects should be equalized. Secondly, that equality is the most or one of the most important irreducible intrinsic or constitutive worth(s) of justice. Thirdly, that welfare should be increased.

Outline of an Egalitarian Society:

Extracts: "An active Civil Society can open the door for an enormous variety of energies and talents from a broad spectrum of organisations and individuals. It means opening the way for diversity. It means welcoming plurality. ......three critical underpinnings of a quality Civil Society — a commitment to pluralism, to meritocracy, and to a cosmopolitan ethic.

This means that initiatives cannot be contemplated exclusively in terms of economics, but rather as an integrated programme that encompasses social and cultural dimensions as well. Education and skills training, health and public services, conservation of cultural heritage, infrastructure development, urban planning and rehabilitation, rural development, water and energy management, environmental control, and even policy and legislative development are among the various aspects that must be taken into account.”

“An important facet of modern development thinking is that societies can best strengthen themselves by mobilizing their own dynamic forces rather than relying on external support and direction.”
