quality of training. Apart from these specialized tasks, these institutions will also be
engaged in directly training of the inductee teachers as well as conducting in service
training programs.
9.2 TRAINING INSTITUTION
In this category, there should be select technical institutions of national repute,like
IITs/NITs with well-established infrastructure as well as teaching and research
environment. It will be necessary to establish Teacher Training Centers in these
institutions which will take up the responsibility of carrying out the training of
teachers in the designated institutions in that region. These centers will have
necessary core faculty which will be supplemented with the part time services of
the expert faculty members of their institutions as well as outsourcing experts from
other agencies as needed.
9.3 BENEFICIARY INSTITUTION
These will be the institutions which would avail as well as contribute their resources
to get their teachers trained. Their active participation in the training process will
be essential. They would be designated as local mentors for the teachers under
training. The networking of these institutes is depicted in the diagram given below:
10.0 FINANCIAL IMPLICATION
There are three major stakeholders in the training program:
1. The teacher under training.
2. The beneficiary institutions
3. MHRD/AICTE/UGC
The Committee deliberated in detail regarding financial implications of the training
and made the following suggestions in this regard:
a) The inductee teacher during FIP will be on a probation till he/she complete mandatory
faculty development program, i.e. FIP in letter & spirit to fulfill the desired objectives
for effective teaching learning process. He/she will earn the annual increment only
after successful completion of FIP.
b) The institution will bear the cost of training and other expenses including the cost
of certification if any, industrial training expenses and the subsequent activities
under the mentor during the contact mode.
c) Substantial part of the training expenditure, for example strengthening/establishing
additional training centers, hiring experts, the cost of training the trainers and
development of resources like MOOCs will have to be borne by the government
agencies such as MHRD, AICTE/UGC.
