About UGC - MMTTC
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes the creation of motivated, energised, and capable faculty. The capacity building of teachers at all levels has been one of the major thrust areas in higher education. Existing mechanisms for capacity building of faculty, i.e. UGC- Human Resource Development Centres (HRDCs) and PanditMadan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching Centers (PMMMNMTT) have contributed immensely towards training faculty of Higher Education Institutions to provide more effective teaching. However, continuous professional development of faculty in all disciplines is required in light of the dynamic nature of teaching-learning pedagogy. Thus Malaviya Mission is proposed through restructuring/reframing of the existing scheme/ mechanism of the capacity building/training of teachers/faculty in the Department of Higher Education. The Mission envisages capacity-building training for the faculty and staff across higher educational institutions, in the light of NEP 2020, within three years through multiple training centres. The outcome of the capacity-building training will be the metamorphosis of higher education in terms of Indian values, teaching, research, publication, patents, and institutional development.
