I) Academic Leadership Programme

(i) Training of academic leaders of the vast numbers of institutions of higher education in the
country is a critical need, in the light of new dimensions envisaged in NEP 2020. These higher
education institutions have to develop Institutional Development Plans and thereby augment
their functional competencies in areas of core and conventional activities, as also brace up to
the immense external challenges posed by a community of universities world-wide, each
aspiring to achieve a tangible status of competence, expressed to some extent in measures of

ranking, and more generally in the insistence on improving quality. It is emergent therefore
that academic leaders be oriented to the critical tasks they are to perform, and made aware of
the responsibilities their roles entail, as also the internal and external challenges they need to
handle while on the job.

(ii) In order to meet the goals of developing effective academic leaders as envisaged in NEP
2020, to evolve a systematic Programme on the training needs of top functionaries and
institutional heads of IIT, IIIT, IIM, Central University, IISER, NIT, SPA etc. and to provide

specialized area trainings in selected issues of critical relevance, and specially with a view to
enhancing institutional quality and innovation, it is essential that Academic Leadership
Programme be made part of the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme.

(iii) The Programme aims to fortify participants with the skills to manage the intricacies of
helming an educational establishment. Through immersive discussions and hands-on
workshops, attendees will gain insights and methodologies to set a distinct direction, formulate
and implement strategic agendas, nurture a conducive institutional ambiance, and promote

sustained enhancement in sync with national policy goals.

(iv) This is proposed to be a 5-day Programme with participative sessions, case studies, panel
discussions and workshops with agendas to evolve a work plan for each of the Institute with
an implementation roadmap.
