Faculty Development Programme: Empowering Educators for Excellence
A Faculty Development Programme (FDP) is a structured training initiative aimed at enhancing the teaching abilities, digital skills, research competence, and overall professional development of educators in higher education. These programmes are designed to equip faculty with the latest tools, methodologies, and perspectives needed to meet evolving academic and industry expectations.
What is a Faculty Development Programme?
A Faculty Development Programme typically includes workshops, seminars, hands-on sessions, and expert lectures that cover various dimensions of teaching and research. The objective is to upgrade educators’ competencies in:
- Pedagogical innovations
- Use of digital and AI-based tools
- Curriculum design and assessment methods
- Research methodology and data analysis
- Industry-academia collaboration
The University Grants Commission (UGC) and bodies like AICTE often recommend participation in such programmes to maintain academic quality and institutional accreditation.
