1. Introduction

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 underscores the need for motivated, energized, and
capable faculty in Higher Education. The capacity building for teachers at all levels is a key
focus. Existing mechanisms, namely UGC-Human Resource Development Centres (HRDCs) and

Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching Centres
(PMMMNMTT), have significantly contributed to training faculty. However, continuous
professional development is essential due to the dynamic nature of teaching and learning.

Hence, the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme (MMTTP) has been re-launched by
restructuring existing mechanisms to enhance the capacity and training of teachers/faculty. The
mission aims to transform higher education by integrating Indian values and ethos into teaching,

research, publications, patents, and institutional development.

India's Higher Education is poised to:

➢ Adopt transformative and innovative approaches.

➢ Achieve an augmented Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) of 50 percent.

➢ Mitigate state-wise, gender-based, and social disparities in GER

➢ Emerge as a significant global talent provider, with one in four graduates
worldwide being a product of the Indian Higher Education system.

➢ Attain a position among the top five countries globally in terms of research
Output.

2. Background of the Scheme:

The Ministry of Education (MoE) seeks to strengthen synergy and integration between HRDCs
and PMMMNMTT Centres to align with NEP 2020 objectives. The scheme establishes 111 Malaviya

Mission Teacher Training Centres (MMTTCs). The scheme aims to implement NEP
recommendations, focusing on quality teaching, equity, online education, technology use,

Indian language promotion, vocational education, and multidisciplinary education.

Vision:

To build competencies in faculty for better teaching, learning, research and academic
leadership by aligning them with Indian values and updating their knowledge and skills
according to the needs of society and NEP 2020.

3. Objectives of the Scheme:

The salient objectives of the scheme in alignment with NEP 2020 are:

➢ Achieving full human potential, developing an equitable and just society, and
promoting national development.

our Teachers, students and teaching-learning.
