Abstract:
Higher education in India is running through a crossroads especially in the context of NEP 2020, questionable learning outcomes of Indian graduates, decreasing quality education, faculty shortage for a long time and poor quality of students’ transition from school education to higher education. In such conditions, faculty recruitment and training for higher education are heavily loaded with high expectations from fresh recruits in Indian higher education Institutions as a faculty to deal with students and the system. The UGC-Human Resource Development Centres earlier known as Academic Staff Colleges have almost sole responsibility of faculty training and development in higher education system, besides some programmes run under PMMMNMTT for last few years. This particular paper gazed into the capacity building of higher education faculty along with the expenditure incurred upon these fresh recruits. Besides, refresher programmes for the experienced faculty members of higher education and short terms professional development programmes are also analyzed for the larger understanding of the issues, concerns and status of capacity building and role of HRDCs in faculty training in Indian Universities and Colleges.
