UGC's training centres for teachers to be known as Madan Mohan Malviya Teachers' Training Centres: Dharmendra Pradhan
Human Resource Development Centres run by the UGC for teacher training and capacity building will now be known as Madan Mohan Malaviya Teachers' Training Centres, according to Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. The University Grants Commission's (UGC) HRDCs cater to the teachers working in the country's non-technical Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).
These centres conduct Continuous Professional Development Programmes (CPDP) mainly in faculty induction, pedagogy, domain knowledge, and leadership.
«The Human Resource Development Centres shall be now known as Madan Mohan Malaviya Teachers' Training Centres which will directly contribute to the capacity building of over 15 Lakh teachers,» Pradhan said at the launch of "Malaviya Mission — Teacher Training Programme" on Tuesday.
The Central Sector Scheme «Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching (PMMMNMTT)» was launched in 2014 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
«The Ministry of Education (MoE) has sought strengthening of the synergy and integration between HRDCs and PMMMNMTT centres in order to meet the objective of the NEP 2020, keeping in view the optimal utilisation of infrastructure, human and financial resources and renaming and popularising the entire capacity building effort as Malaviya Mission (MM). »As a part of the Malaviya Mission 110 (66 HRDCs and 44 PMMMNMTT) institutions have been identified.
