Abstract

The present study concentrates on assessing the ongoing method of capacity building of teachers in higher education institutions of India. It has been conceptualized with the objective of making a comprehensive study of the prevailing techniques of capacity building and skill enrichment for the teachers in higher education institutions of the country; determining the adequacy and effectiveness of these techniques in capacity building and enhancing the skill and competency of the human resources; and finally, suggesting ways of making the techniques more objective and purposeful besides what other measures can be implemented for improving the present system. The study reveals that there is a need for making an assessment of specific teachers' needs while designing subject specific training programmes that should be offered using modular approach and by incorporating latest developments in the concerned disciplines. Capacity building programmes must include IT-based competency enhancement modules offered through massive open online courses (MOOCs) and specialized certification courses.
