FIP Concludes Successfully at UGC-HRDC, MANUU

‘Do brainstorming with your students, learn and teach by doing, and do justice to your students. There are disruptive technologies both within the classroom and outside but harness them productively for your classrooms,’ said Professor Saneem Fatima, Director, UGC-HRDC, Maulana Azad National Urdu University (MANUU) at the conclusion of a Faculty Induction Programme held here today.

The First Faculty Induction Programme (FIP) conducted online from 3rd July onwards this academic year concluded successfully.

The program stretched over a month and involved more than 50 participants from Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Odisha. Faculty Induction Programme, formerly known as Orientation Programme (OP), is compulsory for all assistant professors within the first four years of their joining the service. The newly recruited teachers are given training in classroom teaching, student psychology, and academic writing. They are also sensitized about plagiarism and academic integrity etc.

Earlier in the day, while delivering a lecture on the NEP, Professor Dr Jayanti Das, from the University of Calcutta, said that an increase in funding was required to meet the challenges of higher education. ‘It is equally important to stem the rate of dropouts’, she pointed out.
