VIDYA VISTAR SCHEME

India’s dream to be a global superpower in the coming decades depends primarily on enhancing the skills of its human resources to meet global demands and increasing innovations and start- ups to fuel the economy. The roles that the universities, colleges and other educational institutions have to play is crucial in this context. Alone, each University/institution will require investment of considerable amount of its resources for these activities. However, being a developing country, it would be in the best interest to maximise the utilization of existing resources available with the Universities/ academic institutions by sharing the same, through academic collaboration and cooperation amongst them, for augmenting the human resources.


OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHEME

Making available to the partner College or Department of fellow University -

• Expertise, knowledge and experience of the faculty members
• Resources in the library
• Other academic facilities

COOPERATION FOR CAPACITY BUILDING OF FACULTY

Augmenting the capacity of faculty members is one of the primary steps for enhancing academic capital of an educational institution. Faculty members of partner College/Department shall be provided professional trainings and exposures to enhance their capabilities through online as well as offline endeavours.


FACILITIES FOR CAPACITY BUILDING OF FACULTY

• Institute of Life Long Learning (ILLL) organizes various training programmes for teachers and staff such as Workshop on MOOC, use of ICT, Capacity building for various Disciplines, etc.
• Centre for Professional Development in Higher Education (CPDHE) organizes Orientation Programmes, Refresher Courses, Workshops and Short Term Courses
• Departments also organize Faculty Development Programme (FDP), specific to their discipline. For instance, FDP on 'Teaching Law for Social Justice' was conducted by Faculty of Law in March 2019.
• Colleges such as, SGTB Khalsa College, Ramanujan College, & Hansraj College have been operating Teaching Learning Centres (TLC) under the aegis of the Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya National Mission on Teachers and
  Teaching, MHRD. The Centres aim at facilitating teaching learning process to the teachers across the country, especially those located in the remote areas of the country.
