Faculty Development Program for Professors in Bhopal

Higher Education has witnessed turbulent changes over the last few decades. On one side is the mushrooming of colleges at every nook of the city, churning out unfinished graduates, on the other side there has been a steady decline in the educational standards, where academics and values both seems to have taken a back seat.On a globe, where ICT offers all advanced tools like teleconferencing, e-mail, audio-learning, television classes, interactive voice response system, webinars, etc., to the potential scholars, our undergraduates are still relying on hard copies of notes or exam-ready booklets for easy scores.The collegiate education system is amazingly stringent and inimical to change. Firstly, the academic decisions are taken at political level and slapped on the educational guild. Secondly, the over-enthusiastic administration is always on-toes to implement the action plan at once, without sensitizing the academic executors & stakeholders. To this, quality initiatives are never roused from within the system ; when introduced from outside, they are resisted ; if imposed, they are ritualized. Therefore, most of the innovations succumb at the very embryonic stage.We strongly feel that there is an urgent need of active participation from teachers, learners and the society, at large, to express their aptitude and insight with unclouded thoughts and self-awareness. With this framework in mind, the Quality Assurance Cell has organized a One week Capacity Building Program on Quality Sustenance & Faculty Development. The program has been meticulously customized to let the faculty manage their personal, academic, intellectual and fiscal portfolio besides delivering quality in their daily academic and executive pursuits. The upcoming week shall be peppered with a series of Guest Lectures, Group Discussions and Brainstorming Sessions on diverse topics to cherish the veteran minds. Hope the program would bring productive outcome.
