This report is an essential analysis of modules of various technical sessions, academic

discussions, participatory output and results as the essence of the Induction Training for

Faculty. The main objective of the programme was to create a forum for teacher

participants to understand the frame of university structure: administrative and academic.

As a matter of fact, the higher education system needs time to time up-gradation of

faculties for enhancing their teaching abilities as well as various aspects of Interpersonal

skills through specific training programs. Such programs focus on several teaching-

learning methods, pedagogical content and its various tools which are very vital to

increase the quality of higher education. These are very useful for overall grooming as

well as career advancement of faculty members. The mandatory Induction programs are

designed 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. The ‘Induction Training for Faculty’ is very useful for both:

Faculty & Academic staff in higher education: institutions will familiarize them with their

multiple roles of teaching, research and service and subsequently work for their personal,

instructional, organizational and professional development. The main contents of the

above-mentioned program are as below:

Roles and Responsibilities of Faculty/Academic

University Structure and Functioning

Pedagogic Techniques and Teaching and Learning Methods

Assessment and Evaluation

Effective Use of Technology for Teaching, Learning and

Evaluation

Academic Leadership

The Induction Training for Faculty was started from 01st June, 2018 with the inaugural

and there were three technical sessions at first day. The summary of sessions is as

follows:

INNAUGURAL SESSION

The session started with garlanding to Pt. Madan Mohan Malviya Ji and lamp lightening

by Dr. Rajendra Dobhal, Chief Guest and Director General of Uttarakhand State

Council for Science and Technology, Dehradun, Prof. Annpurna Nautiyal, Hon‟ble

Vice-Chancellor, HNB Garhwal University, and Prof. Indoo Pandey Khanduri,

Director Faculty Development Centre (FDC), HNB Garhwal University, Srinagar

Garhwal, Uttarakhand.

The Director, FDC, presented the major objectives and contents/outlines of

Induction Training for Faculty. She started with the importance of three things:

Academic Leadership, Emotional Balance and Human Resources. She told that faculty

needs to develop insight, content and motivation. In addition, the faculty members also

require wisdom for what to disseminate and in what way; and with what means. Thus, the

content up-gradation with appropriate method is the primary conditions of education.

Research areas and exercises are must for content up-gradation and knowledge

enhancement. Appropriate researches require accurate methodology and in collaborative

researches we need to manage human resources as well infrastructure through human

beings and individuals, and here comes the importance of emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence is also needed for handling the students and managing their

requirements. In a globally competitive era, quality education becomes inevitable and this

objective presupposes the qualified, competent and devoted teachers. Managing the

quality teaching as well as innovative researches for enhancing knowledge leads to

academic leadership. She explained the content module of the Induction Training

Programme for Faculty that comprised Roles and Responsibilities of Faculty/Academic;

University Structure and Functioning; Pedagogic Techniques and Teaching and Learning

Methods; Assessment and Evaluation; Effective Use of technology for teaching, etc.

While addressing at inaugural session the chief guest, Dr. Rajendra Dobhal,

emphasized that interdisciplinary researches are necessary for regional development.

However, these researches require higher-learning institute and committed researchers as

well as teachers. He said that there was a need to develop institution for higher education

in particular, remote regions. He explained the historical development of HNB Garhwal

University and Banaras Hindu University. He talked about the deep sense of commitment

for enhancing academically innovative efforts by glory of various vice-chancellors. He

said that today we are facing degradation in the quality of higher education. He focused

on the need of qualitative inter-disciplinary researches as well as law and scientific

ventures. He gave the example of Tunganath centre of HAPPRC, HNBGU, Srinagar

(Garhwal), Uttarakhand, a unique centre establishment for scientific experiments. He

repeatedly said that there should be local relevance of the researches carried out in

Institute of higher learning.

In her presidential address, Prof. Annpurna Nautiyal, stressed on several

academic and administrative initiatives required to be taken for up gradation of the

University system. She also pointed out the students‟ problems in the Credit Based

Choice System. She highlighted the issue of linguistic challenges being faced by students

of remote area. Since such students obtain their primary and intermediate education

through Hindi medium but when they enter in graduation they are compelled to study in

English medium. She also explained the importance of Guru-Shishya Parampara.

The welcome note for the dignitaries and the participants was presented by Dr.

Rahul Kunwar Singh, Assistant Director, FDC. At the end, Dr. Kavita Bhatt, Research

Associate, FDC, has extended the vote of thanks to all those who were directly or

indirectly involved in organizing the program. The stage coordination of inaugural

session was managed by Dr. GK Joshi, Assistant Director, FDC.

II Session

In the second session Prof. Geeta Joshi, Head, Department of Chemistry, HNB Garhwal

University Srinagar Garhwal, presented a lecture on the topic „AUDIO-VISUAL AIDS IN

TEACHING- LEARNING‟. She explained the significance of audio-visual aids and its

psychological basis. She worked upon a group activity in which all the participants

participated and learned that use of audio visual aids is really effective in improving the

ability to gain knowledge and teach. She discussed about the different types of audio

visual aids, its merits and demerits, and gave emphasis on its logical use. She told that

such audio-visual aids can be classified into three different categories i.e. audio only

(radio, tape, sound etc.), visuals only (slides, graphics and writing on boards, maps,

models, posters, globe, photographs, books, manuals etc.) ; and audio-visuals (television,

video tape, computer, films etc.). She described the effectiveness of the use of models in

chemistry and videos in biology teaching. She discussed that these aids increase and

reinforce learning, stimulate more than one sense but require investment of time and

thought. She also informed that newer resources and means of imparting knowledge are

being innovated continuously that should be used carefully to increase teaching

effectiveness.

III Session

The post lunch session started with the lecture by Prof. P.K. Joshi, Department of

Education, HNB Garhwal University, Srinagar (Garhwal) on the topic „THE

STRUCTURE OF PERSONALITY‟. His deliberation on personality started with the

explanation of the concept of ID, Ego and Superego. While explaining the level of Id, he

stated that these parts of personality deal with psychological levels of teachers and

students. It is inherited reservoir of psychic energy and derives as well as effects energy

with physiology from bodily activity. It represents true psychic reality of the agent, and it

is good representation of the inner world of subjective experience of an individual that is

devoid of objective reality.

5

IV Session

In the IV session, Prof. Joshi continued his previous lecture and made it clear that ID

cannot tolerate the increase of energy. The pleasure principles at this level rest in

discharging the energy by reflex action. At the level of Ego, it starts transacting with the

objective world. At this level conscious mind discriminates between things in the mind

and in the external world. As a matter of fact, Ego formulates plan of reality testing and

tests it through action. The reality test helps from senses and controls the cognitive

functions. It is from where the concept of personality starts. He also discussed the

conflicting demands of ID, Ego and Superego. He said one should strive for perfection

and not pleasure.

June 02, 2018

I session

In this session Prof. D.R. Purohit, Department of English, HNB Garhwal University,

Srinagar Garhwal, addressed the participants as resource person. The title of his lecture

was „WRITING SKILLS, PLAGIARISM AND CITATION FORMAT’. He began with

explaining the Citation Format APA (American Psychological Association) which is

being widely used in Education, Psychology and Sciences. He then described the second

style of referencing i.e. MLA (Modern Language Association) being used in Humanities.

He then elaborated on the definition and types of plagiarism. He defined „Plagiarism‟ as

the act of stealing someone else's work and attempting to "pass it off" as one‟s own. This

can apply to anything, from term papers to photographs and songs and even ideas. He told

that there are two things in plagiarism; the first is presenting someone else‟s original

thoughts or ideas as one‟s own and the second being the use of someone else‟s exact

words without proper citation. He categorized plagiarism into mainly three types viz.

unintentional, poor quotation and poor citation. He however said, there can be several

other ways of plagiarism i.e. the stealing of structure, ideas, authorship etc. He also gave

important tips to the participants for writing a good research paper/article.

6

II Session

Prof. D.R. Purohit continued his lecture in this session also. Here he told that although

plagiarism can be intentional or unintentional but both will lead to some consequences or

penalties thereafter. It may be like receiving zero in the assignment, failing the course,

suspension, expulsion and even cancellation of degree. Prof. Purohit then guided the

participants that how the plagiarism could be avoided to ensure originality in

documentation. He suggested that the researcher should develop a topic based on

previously written material but write something new and original. He/she may rely on

opinions of experts on a topic but should try to improve upon those opinions, giving full

credit to them in the form of reference or citation by following a standard documentation

method such as MLA or APA format.

To explain the specification of Research Objectives, he explained that the first

step is to review the environment or context of the research problem; second to explore

the nature of the problem and then finally define the variable relationships. He suggested

that there should be unity of thoughts, a well-organized logical sequence of information

or ideas while writing an article or paragraph. Finally, he described the general format of

documentation in a thesis comprising the first step as to identify the research problem,

then to choose the methodology followed by conceptualizing the key results and

discussion and in last the conclusion.

III Session

In this session Prof. R.C. Sharma, Head, Department of Environmental Science, HNB

Garhwal University, Srinagar (Garhwal), Uttarakhand deliberated upon „RESEARCH

METODS FOR STUDIES OF GLOBAL WARMING: ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIO-

ECONOMIC, AND POLITICAL ASPECTS. He explained about global warming in detail.

He said global warming has caused greater climatic volatility such as changes in

precipitation patterns as well as increased frequency and intensity of extreme weather

events. It has also led to the rising of global mean sea levels. He told that there was no

correlation between CO2 and temperature. The amount of CO2 is increasing and we have

just passed a landmark of 400 parts per million concentration of atmospheric CO2, up

from around 280 ppm before the industrial revolution. This is a 42.8% increase that

7

means we have added 42% more CO2 but that doesn't mean the temperature will also go

up by 42%. He said the climate reacts in a very complex manner and over short period of

time it is difficult to separate the effects of natural changes from those which are man-

made.

IV Session

Prof. R.C. Sharma continued in this session also and talked about the evidences for

global warming which includes changes in the dates when lakes and rivers freeze and

their ice melts, a reduction in the extent of snow cover in the northern hemisphere, a

reduction in glaciers, extended growing seasons of plants, changes in the heat stored in

the ocean, changes in rainfall patterns resulting in more floods, droughts and intense rain

etc. Besides this, a number of biological changes have also been observed e.g. shifts in

the ranges of some plant and animal species, earlier timing of spring events such as leaf-

unfolding, bird migration and egg-laying for some species. He also discussed the positive

and negative feedback of environment. He told that in climate change, a feedback loop is

equivalent of a vicious or virtuous circle that accelerates or decelerates a warming trend.

A positive feed-back accelerates a temperature rise, where a negative feedback

decelerates it. Prof. Sharma presented a detailed strategy to protect the natural

environment. He concluded by saying that we should plant more trees and; develops a

garden at our space and uses public transport and try car pool with workmates for office

or with friends for a party. We should also carry our own bags and avoid polythene for

shopping and make our home more energy efficient and unplug electronic appliances

when they are not in use.

June 04, 2018

I Session

Dr. Rakesh Chandra, Department of Philosophy, Lucknow University, Lucknow

addressed the participants as resource person in the first two sessions. He talked about

Research Methodology for the Study of Feminism and Gender Discrimination and said

that if someone is given priority without merit, it reflects the first step of discrimination.

He first gave an overview of the different kinds of discriminations that are prevalent in

8

Indian society based on wealth, religion, language, region, caste, gender etc. He then

focused his speech on the well-known and ever-present problem of gender discrimination

in India. He said in many places women are not allowed to move freely. They work at

home, field and many other places but it is not considered as the actual work, which if

counted properly shall amount to 17% of the total productivity. They also do not have the

right to decide to get pregnant and give birth to a child. In addition to that, they are

deprived of education equal to their male counterparts and have very little ownership

rights (nearly 1%) over properties and resources. The institutions responsible for such

discrimination against women include family, religion, law, media etc.

II Session

In his second lecture Dr. Chandra discussed about measures to rate the development in

which Dr. Amartya Sen and Mahbool Ul Haq added knowledge and health. He told that

following can be considered as the indictor of development:

1. Whether the knowledge and power of speaking in women increased or not?

2. Whether women got an increased time for themselves?

3. How much followed the new laws?

4. Women trafficking increased or decreased?

He said feminists often raise three questions:

1. Why women should be oppressed?

2. What kind of world we are interested in?

3. What should we do for getting the kind of world we want?

And by getting answer of these questions we may be able to assess the real situations and

conditions of women in the family and society.

III session

In this session Dr. Ashish Thapliyal, Department of Biotechnology, Graphic Era

University, Dehradun was the resource person. He addressed the participants on the

issues of Development and Use of a Technology and he reflected upon the problems of

the society while keeping in mind the social norms and traditions. He cited an example in

which Govt. of Uttarakhand had distributed the solar cookers but many families could not

be benefited by it as during the day time when sunlight is available, people in rural areas

go outside for various works and there is no tradition to cook food outside the home.

9

IV Session

In this session Dr. Ashish Thapliyal talked about the importance of research activities in

the career of a teacher in higher education. He told about various government schemes to

fund research activities/projects in Institutions of higher learning. He also elaborated

upon the methods to frame a good research project. He displayed his technique through

exercises on the proposal for research work. He discussed each and every proposal by it

merits and demerits and constructive suggestion for improving upon it.

June 05, 2018

I Session

In the first session all of the day started with the lecture on the topic „Beat Plastic

Pollution‟ program organized to mark the World Environment Day. In this programme

Prof. R.C. Sharma, Department of Environmental Sciences addressed the participants. He

explained the chemical structure of plastic and told that those plastics which cannot be

recycled such as polythene, plastic bags, bottles, disposable vessels etc. are more

dangerous for humans as well as the environment. Polythene pollutes the water, soil and

air the most. Today there is polythene scattered on hills and oceans are full with it and

many hundred years are required for its elimination. Cows and other animals eat up the

polythene along with the waste food material attached to it which may even lead to death.

He told that coloured polythene bags are the most dangerous. He said although plastic is

very much important particularly for its applications in various home appliances, making

equipments for automobile, medical and several other purposes even then keeping in view

of its harmful effects many countries have completely prohibited plastic use. Even in

India guidelines have been issued in this regard. Prof. Sharma told that it is not the duly

of just the government to stop plastic use, the common men should also come forward for

this. He administered an oath to all the people present in the hall for not using the plastic.

II Session

In the second session Dr. Ashish Thapliyal from Graphic Era University, Dehradun

talked about research and development. He stated that a teacher should not confine

himself to just teaching to the students, instead working on research project is also very

important for him. He told that how one can get research grant. He elaborated upon the

requirement and applications of research projects. He also informed that how plagiarism

can be avoided doing research. He explained various impediments that may be faced

while getting a research grant. In the last he gave a small exercise to the participants for

writing a short research note in their area of their interest.

III Session

In the third session the participants were addressed by the resource person Dr. Rakesh

Chandra, Department of Philosophy, Lucknow University. He asked whether the

education should be politicized or not? If yes which kind of politics should be allowed

then? He told that if we don‟t care of the issues of the society and focus on just our own

work we don‟t discharge our responsibility for the society. For that he cited the instance

of 1992 Hindu-Muslim riots in Lucknow and said the intellectuals are limited to only

10

framing posters, raising slogans, staging protests etc. with no one paying heed to them.

Finally, we satisfy ourselves by saying that our body needs to be holy by soul not by just

taking bath into the holy river. He talked about today‟s education system and advised that

the children should be given alphabet knowledge by means of pictures not by words. He

also stressed that education of children does‟t mean to make them aware about the use

and knowledge of words; instead one should try to attach himself with them and should

know what is going in their minds. He gave an example in which some poor children had

wished to buy 2.5 kg Arhar daal after getting educated and earning lot of money.

IV Session

Dr. Rakesh Chandra continued in this session and spoke on Philosophical-Linguistic

Methods of Studies. He raised a question that why after independence Nehru addressed

the nation in English. Why till today good books are not available in local languages?

Why English is so important for us? He equated today‟s education methods with banking

system. As per that, it is an arrangement to generate income. It still makes students fear

that they don‟t know this and that and make pressure to learn which they are not

interested in. This is a system that renders children unacceptable. There are still old

traditions that work in education system e.g. a teacher knows but the students don‟t; A

teacher thinks but not the students; we take decision and students accept it. Such system

does not confer any real knowledge to the students. He said that just till few years back

the mother‟s name was not mentioned on the certificates whereas there has been a great

contribution of women in education in India.

June 06, 2018

I Session

The academic session stared by the address of Prof. Tariq Islam, Department of

Philosophy, Aligarh Muslim University, Aligarh. He spoke on the FUNDAMENTAL

STRUCTURE OF UNIVERSITY SYSTEM AND ITS FUNCTIONS. He initiated his

lecture by introducing three components of University systems i.e. teachers, students and

supporting staff. He said the schools also have these three components. While in school

education we teach and impart the information but in higher education we are required to

provoke the students to think, to empower and develop the power to take the decision.

These objectives are achieved by teaching and research. Honest teaching and innovative

research can be developed with integrity. Prof. Islam emphasized that administration is

meant for regulating functioning and finance through rules and regulations. He briefly

discussed on what one means by democracy. He discussed about the structure of the

11

university including VC, PVC, EC, AC, Administrative staff, Registrar, Finance Officer,

Faculty members, Deans, Heads, their responsibility as per act, statute and ordinance,

regulations and resolutions. He also talked about constitution and functions of grievance

committee, discipline committee, academic committees like BOS and RDC, examination

and admission committees as well as finance committee which works under EC.

II Session

In this session Prof. Indoo Pandey Khanduri, Head Department of Philosophy and

Director, Faculty Development Centre, HNB Garhwal University presented a lecture on

FUNDAMENTALS OF ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP. She told that it is important for

higher education centre to facilitate learning conditions for students. The teachers in

higher education should function as revealer to what the students are already equipped

with in their mind. The teacher should act like a mentor, guide and motivator. The current

challenges in higher education is increasing pressure from many corners like evaluating

agencies such as UGC, NAAC, IQAC and Academic Audit committees. The information

is sought regarding placements, awards, publications, Ph.D. produced and many other

achievements as expected from Institutions of higher learning.

There are also expectations of society in terms of social welfare linked researches

and molding of the students to good human being and responsible citizens. Parents

demand for grooming a successful individual whereas students expect to be a competent

professional after completing their studies.

She said that amongst the expectations and limitations, academic leadership is

required to achieve the objectives. An appropriate vision, articulation power and

commitment are the most important qualities. She emphasized that only positive vision

and progressive outlook linked with functional and actual possibility can contribute to

education. She quoted the dictum „Think globally, plan regionally and act locally‟ and

said one should act as per traditional Nyaya conditions of intention, capability, situation

and meaningfulness. She also said that commitment towards academic excellence is must

and it is possible only through powerful motivation towards facilitating students with all

12

kinds of resources, by convincing them to achieve the highest and by presenting the

working models through the consistency of verbal reflection and actual action of head and

hands.

III Session

In the post lunch session Prof. Tariq Islam continued with his lecture and explained the

nature of relevant knowledge that students require. He said in general sense knowledge is

a tool of domination but it has been perceived as value ridden with reference to society.

He told that as a teacher we should ensure maximum dissemination of knowledge.

However, until we introspect ourselves as a thinker we would not be able to invoke

students. We must be on the track of positive efforts in order to infuse creativity and

positivity. He emphasized that the prime objective of education is to provoke thinking

and make the students a thinkable person. He suggested adopting interactive methods of

teaching by asking questions and discussing persisting controversies and conflicts with a

solution to it. He emphasized that controversies and conflicts should be brought in to

light and solution should be searched through discussion and through change in the

thought process.

IV Session

The last session of the day Dr. GK Joshi, Department of Bio-technology, HNB Garhwal

University addressed the participants. He talked about the innovations and applications in

the field of technology related to Biology. He discussed how the innovations in the

biological world revolutionized the world. He told now-a-days complete cure is available

for diseases which were considered as incurable a few years ago. He described scientific

causes of various day-to-day experiences right from making curd, bread, cheese to

suffering from illness as well as use of vaccines. He said teachers must tell the

importance of science to the students and inculcate them the ability to think logically so

that the problems of mankind can be solved. He also gave tips to the participants for

writing a good research project proposal.

June 07, 2018

I Session

In this session Prof. DS Negi, Department of Mathematics, Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna

Garhwal University, Srinagar (Garhwal), Uttarakhand addressed the participants and

deliberated upon the topic THE NEW TECHNOLOGY OF ACHIEVEMENT: THROUGH

NEURO-LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING. Dr. Negi informed that 5 out of 10 people

suffer from psychopathic diseases. He said in the present age of information, we are

increasingly burdened by the excess of information and it is important for us to focus only

on the good information and engineer that into something useful.

He said that a teacher is required to carefully arrange the ideas and make them

presentable as well delivered ideas invoke innovative thoughts. He said that verbal

expression is a very small part of our communication as we communicate only 8%

through our speech. The majority of our communication happens with our tonal

expression and body language, which is 38% and 54% respectively. He explained various

models to achieve the goal of “Generating teaching excellence”. This includes Meta

Models (Goal Setting) in which we gather small information and use it for broader goals

just like a seed grow into a tree. Through this, any issue can be resolved by knowing the

root cause. He also informed about some modalities for attracting the Goal viz. Visual

(See) : Colour; Auditory (Say/Hear) : Sound; Kinesthetic (Feel/Do) : Feeling; Olfactory :

Smell; Gustatory : Taste; Unspecified : Learning, Remember, Motivate, Activate, Plan,

Create, Think, Organize, Manage, Anticipate, Repeat, Prepare etc. In addition to that he

also explained Milton Models (Feel Good), Silva Model, Swiss Model (Removal of Old

Images).

II session

Prof. DS Negi continued in this session on Education and Role of Conscious, Sub-

conscious and Unconscious Mind and he said that mind is the brain in action just like

machine. He told that in psychology; mind is divided into- conscious, subconscious and

unconscious parts that share 7, 55 and 38% of the total work, respectively. In our life, we

tend to link emotions to events. For a bad experience, an image of being hurt comes out

14

of memory. Whenever we face a new challenge and if we walk out without getting a good

result, it will be a repetition of that old bad memory. This stops us from being positive

and making a fresh start. It‟s highly advisable to take a short break of 2-3 minutes in

between lectures. This makes sure that every new lecture is unaffected by the mood or

emotions from the previous one. He described the seven characteristics of conscious mind

as: Logical power, Reasoning, Judgmental power, Presentation, Decision making,

Mathematics, Scientific temperament. He also explained the four characteristics of sub-

conscious mind as creativity, innovation, artistic and management power. He gave the

analogy of glacier. As just 10% of the glacier is visible above the water, our conscious

mind also accounts for 10%, whereas sub-conscious mind accounts for 90%. Sub-

conscious mind does not know the logic so that it only follows the instruction of

conscious mind.

III session

In this session Prof. Tariq Islam, Department of Philosophy, Aligarh Muslim University,

Aligarh, discussed about Democratic Set-up of Higher Education. He said democracy

is a system that requires certain procedures for decision making. Many times, in our

society, we have conflicting choices and the best way to make a comparative assessment

is by doing debates and discussions. He also explained the meaning of liberal democracy

where human rights should be protected which include freedom of expression. He said

freedom of speech is mentioned in Article 19 of the constitution of India which also gives

the right to know or access the information. Prof. Islam equated RTI (Right to

Information) with the oxygen of democracy. He told that in a democratic world, we have

right to freedom of expression, right to disagree with the policy of our institution, right to

protest in democratic manner, right to re-dressal and right to demand conducive

environment for gender equality.

IV session

In this session Prof. Tariq Islam gave a detailed account of Education and Right To

Information. He told that RTI act first came in 2005, which is almost perfect and

adopted by various countries. It includes right to inspect work & records, take notes,

extracts, certified copies of documents/records and obtain information in the form of print

outs, CD‟s, audio, video or any other electronic modes. He told that it is obligatory for

public authorities to maintain records catalogued and indexed and publish relevant facts

while formulating policies/ decisions which affect the common public. It is also required

15

to provide reasons for administrative decisions that affect the persons as well as

voluntarily provide Information to minimize need for exercising RTI. In addition to this,

he also explained the role of PIO (Public Information Officer) and APIO (Assistant

Public Information Officer) in detail. He described the procedure for filing RTI and

various technical things related to it. He gave a detailed account on the role of CIC

(Central Information Committee)/ SIC (State Information Committee).

June 08, 2018

I Session

Dr. A.C. Pandey, Dept. of Commerce and Business Administration, Allahabad

University was the speaker of first session. He spoke on Time Management. He taught

about the value of time as well as its impact on work. He defined the terms „efficiency‟

and „effectiveness‟ and explained their correlation with management. According to him,

„effectiveness‟ is the parameter of management but sometime an efficient person can be

ineffective and vice-versa. Further, he discussed about the five characteristics of an

individual, which collectively affects his behavior. This includes motivation, learning,

attitude, perception and personality. He further emphasized on the importance of time,

because ones it‟s gone it cannot be reverted. The time management process includes

priorities, which are personal and professional and one has to manage his time after

setting of goal, planning and allocation of time. Therefore, whatever duties are assigned

one should do it in time without lingering on. He said to fulfill priorities, proper planning

is a prerequisite. Without proper planning, an individual may opt for procrastination

which is simply waste of time. He said that in a day there are 24 hrs for everyone which

however, if allocated properly in accordance to priorities, both personal and professional

aspects can be managed in a balanced manner. But the foremost criteria is the priority for

which planning is done.

16

II Session

While continuing in this session Dr. A.C. Pandey explained 5 W‟s concept (what, when,

where, why, who and how) for planning in management. He further emphasized on

„priorities‟ as the first step considering rest as secondary. For effective management he

also suggested to maintain a “to do” list of a day to recall and “follow-up” of the task and

their progress per day or weekly. He familiarized the participants with the concept of SOP

i.e. Standard Operating Procedure, which is made for smooth functioning of a performer

as well as the system. The term states that particular assignment has a specific procedure,

need to be followed-up by „do‟ and „doer‟, both. If it got hindered or break, then it is

considered as mismanagement or deviation from protocol e.g. security of a VIP. In

addition to this, he also discussed about another aspect of management i.e. obstacle,

which may me external or internal, man-made or natural, e.g., phone calls, guest, social

networks etc., which are always with work. Thus they are needed to be managed by every

individual conditionally. He also introduced the term “follow-up” for proper management

and described it as an important phenomenon that helps in building and maintaining

relationship and cooperation at workplace and making things easier to manage. In last, he

concluded by saying that today an individual having time management skill can perform

smartly at his workplace and work out on the grassroots problems efficiently and

effectively meeting the desired objectives.

III Session

This session was addressed by Dr. Kiran Lata Dangwal from Lucknow University. In

her deliberation she discussed about the vitality of E-contents in education and

teaching and told how it can be developed. She initiated with the concept of

achievements and desires. According to her, the teaching methodology had undergone

transformation with time. Earlier it was based on face to face or one to one approach

(Guru shishya parampara), then transformed to one too many (i.e. Classroom), and finally

into many to many (e.g. Social sites) by the application of different resources like Face-

book, Twitter etc. Nowadays it is further transforming into many to one approach (e.g.

Internet). She told that the introduction of computers and internet facility as well as

electronic gazettes like smart phones, has made the life easier and time savvy. What

human needs is only to show the approachable interest. Currently, both student and

teacher want to be tech-savy, and are getting away from the hard work. She gave the

analogy as introduction of AC led to get away from natural cool air and introduction of

fast food took us away from cooked food, the use of computers caused forgetting the

spelling and doing research. She emphasized on continuous training and up-gradation of

teaching skills. She told that there is a shift in teaching and learning process. Earlier it

was teacher-centered which is now shifted to learner-centered. The use of technology has

changed their learning methodology, as well as beliefs and expression. It may have an

integrated system having interdisciplinary approach in a course and the activity-based

learning concept will be practiced with the application of technology. Schools will be

mobile; schedule and curriculum will be flexible and team teaching will be emphasized.

Professional courses will be introduced, which will be job oriented and skilled graduates

will be produced. Thus, there will be emphasis on practical studies over theory.

17

IV Session

In this session Dr. Kiran Lata Dangwal discussed the Inherent Reality of Academic

Performance Indicators and E-content and emphasized that teachers in higher

of Indian scenario. He highlighted the actual purpose of higher education. He said that

every student should ask themselves first why he or she is studying a particular subject.

And second what he or she wants to be in life? He narrated the value of research and

showed his inclination towards the special value of India i.e. Guru-Shishya-Parampara‟.

He stated past is history and future is mystery and among these two conditions we should

be very careful about our present efforts. He said in modern times, we had adopted

western style which was not suitable for us. He told that we should transmit the

knowledge towards village people especially in hill areas. He pointed out that our

research work is not approaching those people for whom it should occur. He shared so

many meaningful examples and personal experiences to clarify that knowledge is like a

vast ocean. He said that real knowledge makes the one very sensitive and careful about

his/her whole environment including animals, plants, rivers, ponds etc.

II session

Here Prof. Kala talked about the impact of ignorant knowledge. According to him there

are four basic points on which a teacher must be serious, first to whom he or she is

teaching? And, whether we consider the concern person in eligible or not. Second, who is

teaching and what is his background? Third how he is teaching? What is the

corresponding relation among the teacher and student? It is based on profession only or is

it based on humanity. The last and fourth point is where he or she is teaching? He then

emphasized that knowledge should not be merely bookish instead it should be used for

making good human beings. In traditional Universities professional courses must be

introduced. He, classified teachers in four categories-first teachers (guru), second diksha

guru, third spiritual guru and fourth professional guru (karmic guru). He said that we

External. Head or director of the institutional section under whom an employee works

may categorized as first; they have high expectations from an employee. The students

may be categorized as second in External stakeholders: students, parents as well as

persons from his/her village, town, district and country; a person should maintain a

balance between all these. He defined „Tension‟ as mismatching of expectations to

created vacuum. He clarified that there are two types of tension: good and bad. To enjoy

and literature review, topic based literature review, research gaps, problem, questions,

&methodology, types of research methodology, abstract presentation, validity of research

22

outcome. He stated that more realistically, a PhD is a demonstration of research

competence. There are certain things that you are demonstrate through your dissertation:

mastery of our subject, research insight, respect for the discipline, capacity for

independent research and ability to communicate results and relate them to the broader

discourse. After it he discussed the importance of literature review in research. It can be

segregated into various themes. He told that theme-based segregation helps to probe

various research initiatives take across a wide spectrum of industries on such business

problems. The thematic approach brings to light on popular and models/techniques used

to find solution for business/ research problems.

After it he shifted on the importance of literature review as bring out the known

and unknown facts of research works. He explained purpose of literature review.

Literature review is a tracing method to diagnose already known in related area. It is must

to identify the concepts and theories that are relevant to related area of study. It is also

must to identify the research methods already used, significant controversies (if any) and

the unanswered research questions.

IV Session

As the continuation of earlier lecture; Dr. Roy elaborated the Positivism of Augustine

Comte. He told that the positivists prefer quantitative methods such asocial surveys,

structured questionnaires and official statistics because these have good reliability. They

see society as shaping the individual and believe that „social facts‟ shape individual

action. This kind of tradition stresses the importance of doing quantitative research such

as large-scale surveys in order to get an overview of society as a whole and to uncover

social trends. In positivist research, sociologists tend to look for relationships, or

„correlations‟ between two or more variables. This is known as the comparative method.

After it he shifted to Interpretivism of Max Weber. He said that an interpretive approach

to social research would be much more qualitative, using methods such as unstructured

interviews or participant observation. According to Interpretivists or anti-positivists argue

that individuals are not just puppets who react to external social forces, as Positivists

believe. He clarified that according to Interpretivists individuals are intricate and complex

and different people experience and understand the same „objective reality‟ in very

different ways and have their own, often very different, reasons for acting in the world,

thus scientific methods are not appropriate. After it Dr. Roy turned toward defining

Critical Realism of John Croswell. Critical Realism is becoming increasingly influential

in social research. He clarified that Critical Realists ideas are used to guide empirical

research. Being a meta-theory, it informs the construction of specific theories in the

course of empirical research. The most important of these assumptions are ontological

assumptions. Assumption about how the sociological context influences individual. He

told that Ontology is Science of study of being and deals with nature of reality. He

explained the types of research methodology: quantitative and qualitative.

person. He talked on New Methods of Research and presented some case studies. He

told that research is a continuous process and it can be defined as a search for new

information based on the previous information and facts. Research is an organized study

and it has a scientific base. He suggested the participants to read the Research

Methodology book written by Johan W Best. He advised that one should keep a

collection of good books so that he/she can get top quality knowledge and maintain high

teaching standards. He said that the results of research generate hypothesis and for doing

quality research it is must to first go for a detailed review of literature/information

available in that area. He categorized research into 4 types as historical research,

descriptive research, empirical research and analytical research. He also defined „case

study‟ as the study of a special work done by a person or group of persons with examples

24

of Sundar Lal Bahuguna, Chandi Prasad Bhatt, Gaura Devi etc. He said for doing a case

study survey, interview, observation etc. are carried out and for its documentation diary,

This indicates community development or rural development. He told that for the first

time in 1873 in Cambridge University the term „extension‟ was coined, thereafter, it was

included in the education of United States. After some time in the whole world it was

recognized in different areas like agriculture extension, educational extension etc.

Nowadays „extension‟ is a very important activity under which the education and

knowledge obtained from Universities and colleges is transferred to the community

through students and extension workers. This is also known as „Lab to Land Education‟

so that common people be equipped with knowledge, skill, technical information etc.

Extension activities improve life quality and ability of common men. He equated

extension education with a bridge. He said just as a bridge connects cities or places by

filling the gap, the gap of knowledge between educated persons and common people can

be filled up by extension education. It is also important for women empowerment and girl

education.

activity because it creates and disseminates new knowledge. Research offers solutions to

the problems and very helpful for the policymakers to take correct decisions. He told two

types of research i.e. the scientific research and social research. He said scientific research

is based on scientific methodologies whereas social research is related to human race.

Social research has an important role in policy making and designing various

programmes.

25

IV Session

In this session Prof. Mamgain described important components of a research synopsis in

Social science. He talked about its conceptual phase and highlighted important points in

gave tips about designing of research work and sample collection. He also elaborated

upon the methods of data collection and processing. He then explained data analysis and

testing of hypothesis, preparation of report etc. He also said that to make a research

proposal more effective there should be transparency, authentic data use and good writing

skills.

I session

Prof. Rajendra Prasad Mamgain continued in the session as resource person. Here he

spoke on OUTMIGRATION FROM HILL REGION OF UTTARAKHAND: MAGNITUDE,

CHALLENGE AND POLICY ISSUES. He said that there are varying factors which

stimulate an individual to migrate. This includes economic backwardness, employment

opportunity, good living conditions etc. In addition to this, regional disparities between

hill and plain areas are also responsible for it. He also described that how demography of

Uttarakhand and growth rate of population is varying with reference to Indian context. He

graphically explained that the driver or the cause of migration is mainly due to

dependence of people on agriculture for income. He said upto two-third of the population,

which is around 16% of the workforce, is currently engaged in agricultural work but

unfortunately, the gross production value per household is getting lowered. This is also

due to destruction of crops by wild animals, poor quality of livestock, poor wages etc. He

said that other necessities like child education, health facilities, daily needs, entertainment

etc. also act as a driving force for migration from hilly region in Uttarakhand. He said that

it is surprising that no major efforts have been made to improve the agriculture and its

productivity through its diversification in favor of high value crops. He said due to

migration of youth the situation has worsened in the villages. This has overburdened the

female family members with the task of taking care of old people as well as the children

26

along with their household and other income support work. In addition to this, he also

discussed the impact of government policies as well as the special status granted to

Uttarakhand in 2002 .

from a manager. He placed a leader above a manager. He said that a good leader

however, needs to have some managerial skills to move with a team because a good

leader can transform an institution that is not performing well. He told that a leader must

have the convincing ability and problem solving attitude. In addition to that, he should

have attributes like guiding vision, passion, integrity, honesty, trust, curiosity, risk taking

ability, dedication, listening to others etc.

He elaborated the different issues prevalent in higher education these days such as

availability and cost, privatization, academic and administrative reforms, technology and

knowledge extension, lack of proper planning etc. He said that academic leadership can

be helpful in dealing with such issues. In addition to the above, he introduced the

participants with the scheme of RUSA (Rashtriya Uchatar Shiksha Abhiyan) which

addresses issues in higher education like planning and opportunities for institutional

growth, research and faculty improvement and innovation, supervise, monitoring and

documentation, strategic data based decision making, best use of institutional autonomy,

academic responsibility. Further, he emphasized on the importance of education and its

structure, the mode of communication as well as its role in development of society. He

then explained that whenever we teach to the students, the mode of communication i.e.

the language, should be chosen based on the compatibility of the learner or receiver so

that it could be more effective. Also a speaker should use simple language so that a

receiver can approach to learn it by heart. He said that if we use language with complex

words than a receiver or a student may feel difficulty in receiving the message and all the

efforts will be ineffective. He explained 3 types of communication languages, which are

common language, professional/working language and formal language.

learning process may be easy but reading may be easy or tough depending on the skills of

on individual. He also explained by sharing quantitative data from 1960 onwards that

how fast the volume of students going for higher education is increasing year by year. He

also briefed on the quality of research paper published as well as the quality of research

conducted nowadays. He expressed concern over the migration of students after passing

out from IITs or the premier institutions and said that in the larger interest of nation it

should be stopped.

I Session

Prof. J.P. Pachauri, Former Dean, Humanities and Social Sciences and Head,

Department of Sociology and Social Work was the speaker in this session. The topic of

his lecture was „Positive Thinking for Excellence‟. He started by asking the participants

to define the meaning of attitude. After various responses from the participants he pointed

out the correlation of attitude and third low of motion; i.e. every action has its reaction. It

means what a person accomplishes depends on whether his attitude is positive or

negative. He then discussed about three types of relationships in society; he symbolized

these as Coca-cola, Instant Coffee and Use-throw relations. He described relative

deprivation as the root cause of negative attitude; which reflects through tension, irritation

and isolation etc. On the other hand, positive attitude reflects faithfulness and extension

of friend circle. He also described three types of questionnaire i.e. Intelligence, Emotional

and Social.

II Session

In the second session, Prof. Pachauri elaborated the functioning and funding process of

various funding agencies such as UGC, ICSSR, ICHR, ICPR, DST and CSIR etc. He told

that there are so many funding sources available but a systematic proposal is necessary to

get funding. There should be several qualities in a good proposal. It should incorporate

33

the relevant theme of the project, a comprehensive methodology, elaboration of

objectives, clear description of findings and outcomes.

III Session

Dr. Kavita Bhatt, Research Associate, Faculty Development Centre was the resource

person for this session. She delivered a lecture on „Contemporary Contribution of Yogic

Practices in Teaching-Learning Process: (A Pedagogical Enhancement)‟. She started with

the briefing of Paravidya and Aparavidya and Shiksha (knowledge related to all worldly

affaires) as the branch of Paravidya. She discussed the philosophical roots of yogic

practices in Vedic and Post-Vedic Philosophies. Then she shifted on the elaboration of

Indian concept of personality, Trividha Dukhas and Nishkaam Karma as the mean of

liberation (Kevalya). Then she explained the physical, mental and psychological

imbalances as personal, inter-personal, socio-cultural, political and surroundings‟

obstructions in means of knowledge (Prama) and Pramana according to Yogic

Philosophy. Several yogic practices: Trataka and Dhyan. She explained the practise of

Trataka (a yogic practice) and its benefits for teaching-learning. The main benefits are

harmony of Trigunas and Tridoshas through significant ratio, purification of Manas,

systematization of thought-process, sharp memory, enhancement of capacity to

concentrate on the teaching-learning and positive approach. She highlighted the virtuous

enhancement to control the negative practices and enhance the positivity to groom the

teaching-learning as pedagogical uses of yogic practices.

IV Session

Session I

In this session Prof. Kaushal Kumar Sharma from JNU, New Delhi shared his

expertise with the participants as resource person on the topic PRACTICAL APPROACH

AND CAPACITY BUILDING FOR RESEARCH IN SOCIAL SCIENCE. First he talked

about the personality of Madan Mohan Malviya and his contribution in education. He told

that at that time his was one of the pioneers of education. He wanted the people to go to

the villages and work for the villagers for their overall upliftment. He told that there are 4

important things for a training viz. Spirit, Imagination, Planning and Effort. He explained

why a training programme is organized and what is its importance. He said it should not

be treated merely as a tool of increasing API instead it should be looked as an opportunity

to imbibe others experiences which is very necessary for a teacher. He talked about the

role of feelings, imagination, planning and efforts in a training programme. He stated that

the level of research at present is not adequate. He stressed that all kind of research had to

address some practical issue related to day-to-day life. He said that a sense of

responsibility towards his/her duties in the society and educational institution stimulates a

person to take up quality research. As per him a teacher should have 3 types of skills; 1)

Reading 2) Writing 3) Speaking. A teacher can influence the ideology of a society only if

he/she is a good orator.

II Session

Prof. Kaushal Kumar Sharma continued in this session also and here he first explained

four types of research viz., descriptive-analytic, practical-basic, theoretical-empirical and

qualitative-quantitative. He emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary research. He

said a good research work can be compiled when many persons contribute into it. He

came forward with the opinion that we, the human beings are the main cause of problems

around us. There are less problems around the persons staying in villages compared to

those who stay in cities. This is because the urban people have requirements of many

things. He also highlighted the fact that at a particular place, development of a social

system catalyzes the process of change. He related the contribution of Aadi

Shankrachayra in formation of 4 Mathas to explain the energy flow and generation of

traditions in human societies.

35

III Session

In this session Dr. Tushar Kant Mishra, Director, Centre for Value and Ethics, &

Professor of Commerce, Ramanujan College, Delhi University Delhi Department of

Commerce, addressed the participants as resource person. He shared his expertise on

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. He told that a person has the ability to listen to someone

upto 10 minutes. Thereafter, it diminishes. He said the excess use of information

technology fetch out plenty of information that causes a negative impact on the abilities

of teachers and students to think and understand. He said we can learn a lot not only from

our libraries but also from our students. He said a student attends a class only if he feels

that he will gain something out of it. He also told that it is necessary for a student and a

teacher to have an emotional attachment between them. He gave the example of Sweedan

where a Human alike robot was used in replacement of a teacher but it could not instruct

anything as there was no discipline maintained in the class. Thus no machine can replace

a teacher because a teacher emotionally attaches with his students and after assessing

his/her social and intelligence level only confers him/her the right education.

IV Session

In this session Dr Tushar Kant Mishra conducted a group activity among the

participants to check the level of their Emotional Intelligence. He divided the participants

into 4 groups and asked to perform the given activity. Finally all the participants

told that the values discussed in the poetries of Soordas and Tulsidas have been more

relevant now days. He told that the value of a thing depends on its supply or production.

The personal values should be opted at the time of preparing policies. We should also

publicize knowledge during routine conversation. The dialogue of a teacher and student is

also important. The emotional touch is must for a healthy teaching-learning environment.

36

37

June 24, 2018- SUNDAY

June 25, 2018

I Session

In this session Prof. Vinod Nautiyal, Department of History and Himalayan Archaeology,

HNBGU Srinagar, addressed the participants as resource person. The topic of his

deliberation was TEACHING, LEARNING AND RESEARCH: THE CONVERGENCE.

He first explained what is teaching. He said the origin of the word „teach‟ can be traced

to German word „tæcan‟ related to „token‟ meaning show, present or point out. He said

that teaching is the process of attending to people‟s needs, experiences and feelings, and

intervening so that they learn to go beyond the given and know possibility. He further

explained this as imparting knowledge to or instruct (someone) as to how to do

something; or cause (someone) to learn or understand something by example or

experience. He said in Indian context, the roots of „Teaching‟ goes back to the Vedic age,

It aims at construction of sound and language for synthesis of ideas, in contrast to

grammarians who developed rules for language deconstruction and understanding of

ideas. The two basic elements of teaching and learning in Ancient India were „Shruti‟

(शु्रति) and „Smriti‟ (सृ्मति). He then elaborately dealt with the process of learning and role

of teacher. He also gave a detailed description of the ethics of a teacher. He also defined

true knowledge and pragmatism. He also discussed the issue of plagiarism, its types and

explained how it is against the ethical norms accepted for a teacher.

II Session

Prof. Vinod Nautiyal continued in this session also and shared his expertise with the

participants on the topic REIMAGINING LEARNING : CHANGING EDUCATIONAL

LANDSCAPE. He first gave a detailed description of the history of learning. He then

introduced the participants with Open Distance Learning. He also presented a detailed

overview of the advancements in the areas of learning such as distance learning through

electronic media, Learning through digital media (CDs, and other devices), development

of smart class rooms, EduSat in India and Uttarakhand, development of E-Learning in

38

India (inflibnet other), emerging Edutech Companies in India (some big companies ),

learning through social media (Facebook, WhatsApp etc.) and revolution in learning -

Massive Open Online Course (MOOC).

III Session

In this session Dr. Rajeev Pandey, FRI, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, addressed the

participants as resource person on the topic LINEAR RELATIONSHIP. He explained the

basic things about linear relationship and itscomponents. He explained various parameters

on leaner relationship like time, location etc. He then discussed various statistical tools

important for research for data analysis and manipulations.

IV Session

Dr. Rajeev Pandey continued in this session. Here he described the use and importance

of pie chart, coefficient of correlation and graphical representation of data. He

demonstrated some practical exercises to the participants for developing the

understanding of statistics to draw inference from a data.

June 26, 2018

I Session

The Resource person of this session was Dr. Rajiv Pandey, Scientist, Forest Research

Institute, Dehradun. He defined how the research questions and hypothesis can be

formulated. He told that research is the systematic approach to obtaining and confirming

new and reliable knowledge. He said that all research has one or other kind of potential

applications. The application can be for the society, for state, for country and for one‟s

family. He defined the inductive and deductive research approach. He explained the

research process by linear and iterative representation. He said the linear approach is a

one directional process in which we first define the research problem, specify hypothesis

and then design the methodology. In iterative process, consideration of both practical and

conceptual issues may force to reconsider the original research problem. It also allows

feedback. After that he explained the onion approach. This approach is used to describe

the stages through which the researcher must pass when formulating an effective

methodology. First, the research philosophy requires definition. This creates the starting

point for the appropriate research which is adopted in the second step. In the third step,

the research strategy is adopted, and the fourth layer identifies the time horizon. The fifth

step represents the stage at which the data collection methodology is identified. He

explained the benefits of this approach as it creates a series of stages under which the

different methods of data collection can be understood to illustrate the steps by which a

methodological study can be described.

II Session

Dr. Rajiv Pandey continued in this session also and here he explained the major things

about „Factor Analysis‟. He clarified on how to apply factor analysis to solve real life

problem. He said It is a data reduction technique designed to represent a wide range of

attributes on a smaller number of factors. With the help of an example related to

39

psychographics test for sport persons of Garhwal, he explained how the data reduction

takes place using factor analysis. With the help of real life example like selection of a car

and choosing a bank he explained that how factor analysis may provide a solution.

III Session

The Resource Person of this session was Prof O.P. Gusain, Director IQAC, HNB

Garhwal University and the title of his lecture was „Assessment & Accreditation of higher

education NAAC (An overview)‟ and Role of IQAC in Higher Education‟. He first gave

the overview of assessment and accreditation of higher education institutions in India. He

told that accreditation is a quality assurance process under which services and operations

of any institute are evaluated. He emphasized that until or unless we know our

weaknesses and strengths, we cannot identify the opportunities and NAAC aims to that.

He said that NAAC is an autonomous body established by UGC, India to assess and

accredit institutions of higher education in India. NAAC was established in 1994 with its

headquarters at Bangalore. Key points of this presentation were the framework, mission,

core values and graded autonomy of NAAC. He explained the criteria of assessment and

distribution of weightage in NAAC assessment.

IV Session

Prof. Gusain continued in this session also and here he elaborated the core values of

quality education. He said that technology is invading higher education very fast. He

explained this with the help of an example that previously SSR submission was done

manually, but now this is done online. He told that it is mandatory to upload the

institutional information on All India Survey on Higher Education (AISHE) portal. He

told that NAAC has identified seven criteria to serve as the basis of its assessment

procedures viz. Curricular Aspects, Teaching-Learning and Evaluation, Research,

Innovations and Extension, Infrastructure and Learning Resources, Student Support and

Progression, Governance, Leadership and Management, Institutional Values and Best

Practices. He also discussed the revised framework of assessment and accreditation (July

2017) which is ICT enabled, objective, transparent, scalable and robust. He further

40

disused about Institutional Information for Quality Assessment. He said that main

components of assessment criteria were self-study report (SSR), student satisfaction

survey and peer team report. SSR has a total 137 metrices for universities, 136 for

autonomous colleges and 121 for affiliating colleges. He further explained the concept of

graded autonomy introduced by UGC in 12feb., 2018. In the end of this presentation he

discussed ranking. He said that ranking of any university/college is a yearly affair.

Accreditation gives absolute grade, ranking is relative to the other institutions similarly

placed. He told that the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) has been

accepted by the MHRD and launched by Honourable Minister for Human Resource

development on 29th September 2015. This framework outlines a methodology to rank

institutions across the country. In the last he expected from each participant to adopt

practices in their colleges to improve quality of their respective colleges and institutions.

June 27, 2018

I Session

In these sessions Mr. Hanumant Rawat from American Indian foundation addressed the

participants and talked about the good qualities that every teacher must have. He then

conducted a group activity in which he divided the participants into 4 groups and asked

every group to write some qualities of them and place themselves at one of the 5 steps

describe above. All the groups ranked themselves neat the steps of „competency‟ and

„skill‟.

II Session

Mr. Hanumant continued in this session and shared his experiences with the participants

that how quality education is bringing a paradigm shift all over the world in the ideology

and working of people. Teachers are considered at the forefront of such development and

it is their duty to show the right path to the upcoming generation. He cited various real

life examples during his talk.

III Session

In this session Dr. Harish from Ambedkar College, Delhi University, Delhi discussed

about major points related to academics leadership. While narrating the general notion of

a leader she referred to Prof. Warren Bennis who considers that Leadership is a function

of knowing yourself, having a vision that is well communicated, building trust among

colleagues, and taking effective action to realize your own leadership potential. She

elaborately dealt with the major characteristics and identifies vision, passion, integrity,

trust, honesty, curiosity, risk taking capacity, dedication, charisma and listening. In her

discourse, she distinguished between a manager and leader. A manager administers,

maintains, focuses on systems and structures, relies on control short range view, asks how

and when, eye on bottom line, imitates, accepts the status quo, classic good soldiers and

does things right. And, a leader, in her discussion, is the one who innovates, an original,

develops, focuses on people, inspires trust, Long range perspective, asks what and why,

Eye on horizon, Originates, Challenges the status quo, Own person and does right things.

41

IV Session

Dr Harish continued here and in her lecture, she tried to seek answer of the question

what does one means by academic leadership. The term academic leadership was first

coined by Ramsden (1994) and referred to leadership in a number of major tasks in higher

education such as leadership in teaching, in research, in the role of goal setting and vision

communication and inspiring others (Ramsden1994). Later on, with the blooming studies

in leadership in organizations, definitions of leadership implied some notion of effective

leadership. Academic leadership is simply defined as leadership in academic settings

or academic institution.

Academic leadership requires breadth and depth of knowledge and skills, is defined as a

whole by a complex suite of behaviours. Integrated Competing Values Framework

(ICVF) provides insight into this complex suite of behaviours as a whole and assists in

overcoming one of the difficulties we have in improving our effectiveness as academic

leaders – the difficulty of understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the „parts‟ and

developing those, when they are usually practiced and evaluated as a „whole‟ (Vilkinas &

Cartan, 2001, 2006). Effective academic leaders are more than the composite of their

constituent parts – they know when to focus on the people and when to focus on the task;

how to achieve a balance between a focus on internal vs. external factors; and are able to

move between the five operational roles identified in the ICVF – Developer, Monitor,

Deliverer, Broker, and Innovator.

June 28, 2018

I Session

In this session Mr. Hanumant Rawat addressed the participants as resource person. He

shared his views on the qualities of a good teacher. To explain it more efficiently he

engaged them in an activity in which 4 groups of the participants were formed. Each

group was then asked to prepare a list of the qualities which are expected to be in a

42

teacher. After collating the list prepared by each group a total number of 20 qualities of a

teacher were commonly agreed by all the participants. Dr. Hanumant then told the

purpose behind that exercise. He said the very purpose of a teachers‟ training programme

is to develop such qualities in a teacher. A teacher must develop such qualities in him to

make his personal and professional life more meaningful for the students and the society.

II Session

In this session Mr. Hanumant Rawat explained how a teacher can develop quality

within him. He said on order to develop eminence a teacher needs to cross 5 door steps.

The first one is „ability‟ which is something that indicates the in-born abilities of a

person. The second door step is „capability‟ to which one can reach after enhancing his

in-born skills by practice and performance. The third door step is „competency‟ . This can

be achieved after improving our capabilities. Thereafter comes „skill‟ To achieve this we

should develop efficiency in our work and this also involved the dame formula i.e

knowledge, practice and performance. The final step is „perfection‟ and this represents

the top level. One can reach here by improving one‟s skills by practice and performance.

III Session

In this session Dr. Harish from Delhi University addressed the participants. She told that

academic leadership is of 3 types. The first one is Autocratic leadership in which the

decision taken by the top authorities are to be followed by every persons. This applies to

an organization where the employees are inexperienced and there is a lack of time. The

second type is Democratic leadership which requires cooperation and support of all for

doing some work. This applies to a place where there is no dearth of time and the

employees are experienced. The third one is Laissez Faire in which everyone is given

full freedom of taking decision and doing work. But this has a fear of paralysing the

whole system and it also requires the complete devotion of all the employees. She

however, said that in an organization a single type of leadership does not exist all the

time. She gave some practical examples to explain how the leadership type changes as per

the time and requirements. She then explained three types of leadership in higher

education i.e. Research, Educational and Administrative. She also talked about the

strategic and transformational leadership.

IV Session

Dr. Harish continues in this session also. She first showed a short movie „Class of

Rowdies‟ in which the classroom of some naughty students was picturized and it was

shown that how the teacher used his wisdom and skill of academic leadership to control

the situation and showed the right path to them without giving any punishment.

Thereafter, Dr. Harish gave a detailed account on the 5 models of academic leadership

based on differential thought. These were Developer, Monitor, Deliver, Broker and

Innovator. She told that one has to integrate all the above 5 qualities in order to become

an academic leader. .

June 29, 2018

Session I

In this session Mr. Nisheeth Kumar, former IAS and Chief, Operations of knowledge

Link, Noida addressed the participants as resource person. He deliberated on

UNDERSTANDING SELF AND OTHERS. He said understanding self includes

understating self-image as well as self-esteem. While trying to answers the question „who

am I?‟ the meanings attached to a person by self and others are based on personal

characteristics and social roles and membership in various groups. He said a person can

have multiple selves stemming from a variety of identities (Self-pluralism). He elaborated

upon self-presentation/impression management for revealing yourself to others. He gave a

detailed account on JOHARI window model which is considered as the most useful

model to describe the process of human interaction, more specifically of giving and

receiving feedback. He then described the purpose and most appropriate method of taking

feedback. He explained the benefits of knowing oneself as self-awareness promotes

personal growth, which in turn enhances overall functioning (including work

performance).

II Session

Mr. Nisheeth Kumar continued in this session also as resource person and presented an

elaborative talk on UNDERSTANDING MINDSET. He said the term mindset represents

the set of beliefs and assumptions we hold about ourselves, others and the world. He

explained two broad types of mindsets; one is Learner mindset that means being in a

curiosity and questioning mode and another is Judger mindset that refers to being in a

doubting and judging mode. He then differentiated both types of mindsets by defining

various different questions arising in these mindsets. Finally he presented a detailed

account on Learner Judger Relationships.

III Session

In this session two participants were selected for presenting a topic of their choice. The

first presentation was made by Dr. Suryakant Sharma, on history subject. He described

systematic pattern and component of history. He explained various important parameters

in history like importance of time, location, accident, discovery, person, battles etc. The

second presenter was Mr. Ashutosh Sharma who spoke on hindi vayakaran. He explained

that how ornamental word and their arrangement can enhance the beauty of any

sentences. He described various types of language adornments with suitable examples

and explanations.

IV Session

In this session all the participants were taken to a visit to the Archeological Department

and Museum, HNBGU Srinagar, Chauras Campus, Srinagar Garhwal. There in Museum

of Himalayan Archaeology & Ethnography, the participants learnt about the real

cultural heritage and history about Uttarakhand. They got to know about various temples,

The day started with the presentations of the participants on the topics of their own choice

and lasted till lunch hours. In post lunch session, the valedictory session was organized in

which Mr. Niseeth Kumar, Ex. IAS was present as Chief guest. He said in today's era, the

use of consciousness, knowledge and research in the advanced world should be used for

the mindful use of the emerging resources for coherent coexistence of all the creatures on

the earth. The Chief guest also said that educators have a very important role of giving

direction to the society. He said academic activities organized for the educators develop

their personality from time to time, so that they can be able to discharge their outstanding

role in the development of students. Therefore, organizing such programmes is always

very important as there is a high utility of such activities. The Vice Chancellor of the

University, Prof Annpurna Nautiyal, in her presidential address talked about the

importance of such training programmes. She told that such programmes not only

enhance the academic capabilities of the participants but also boost their moral values and

ethics. She said organizing this type of event was really challenging in summer holidays

but despite all odds it was successfully executed and it is a big achievement of FDC.

Professor Indoo Pandey Khanduri, Director Faculty Development Center Professor while

presenting the report of the overall events in the closing session, said that under this

training programme specialists of various institutions trained the participants through
