| Objectives: | The main objective of the mandatory induction programmes is to sensitize and motivate the faculty to adopt learner centered approaches, ICT integrated learning and new pedagogic approaches to teaching-learning assessment tools in higher education. This induction programme will include teaching and research methodologies (flip classrooms, collaborative learning, case approach), use of ICT, curriculum structure and design, sensitization to gender and social diversity, professional ethics, sharing of best practices and updating developments in their field of study, etc. Faculty development has a critical role to play in promoting academic excellence and innovation. This is one of the priority actions aimed at improving the professional capability and performance of teachers to deliver effective and quality learning. Hence, Faculty Induction Programmes will include the four possible types of development: personal (interpersonal skills, career development, and life planning issues), instructional (course design and development, instructional technology) organization (ways to improve the institutional environment to better support teaching) and professional (ways to support faculty members so that they fulfil their multiple roles of teaching, research, and service).
