Malaviya Mission

Why is in news? Shri Dharmendra Pradhan launches the Malaviya Mission - Teachers Training Programme by University Grants Commission

Union Minister for Education and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship launched the Malaviya Mission - Teachers Training Programme by the University Grants Commission at Kaushal Bhawan, New Delhi.

Organised by the University Grants Commission, in association with the Ministry of Education, the Malaviya Mission - Teacher Training Programme aims to provide tailored training programmes for teachers.

This programme will work for the capacity building of faculty members in higher educational institutions.

One of the primary objectives of the Malaviya Mission is to provide specialized and tailored training programs for teachers.

Recognizing that teaching methods and educational requirements have evolved, the program seeks to equip educators with the latest knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to excel in their roles.

This emphasis on tailored training ensures that teachers can adapt to the changing dynamics of education effectively.

In a symbolic gesture, the Minister announced the renaming of Human Resource Development Centres (HRDCs) as Madan Mohan Malaviya Teachers’ Training Centres.

This renaming not only pays tribute to the renowned educationist Madan Mohan Malaviya but also underscores the program’s commitment to elevating the status of teacher training in India.

The Malaviya Mission plans to establish 111 centers across India to ensure comprehensive coverage.

These centers will serve as hubs for teacher training and professional development, catering to the needs of educators in different regions.

The program’s reach is extensive, with the goal of building the capacities of 15 lakh teachers in higher educational institutions.

One innovative aspect of the Malaviya Mission is its alignment with the credit framework.

By mapping capacity building activities to this framework, educators will have clear career progression pathways.

This approach not only recognizes the hard work and dedication of teachers but also motivates them to continually improve their skills and knowledge.

By investing in teacher training and professional development, the Malaviya Mission is laying the foundation for a brighter and more educated India.
