There is a large amount of attrition rate in technical institutions. New members join throughout the year. The developments in technology and skills are continuously happening. New subjects are introduced and curriculum and syllabi get updated in a continuous fashion to cope up with the requirements of the industry and society. In such situations even the existing faculty members in Engineering and Technology have to be updated and trained for new subjects and skills. This necessitates the need for a separate Academy for Faculty Training to train the teachers in a continuous manner.
Objective
To train faculty members in the teaching methodologies who join afresh
Achievements
• Contribution to teaching and learning (20 programmes organised with three major interventions to teaching and learning successful)
• Contribution to community development for training self help group women
Target Group: All teachers in India
Challenges: Meeting the diversified needs of the teachers was a big challenge. So we developed a strategy of having a mixture different types of programmes, there was the high impact short duration programme, and another programme that will take some time to be implemented. A large pool of experts from around the world had to be brought in. That took lot of time. The vision plan had to be implemented step by step.

Target Group: Working Professionals
Challenges: Initially it was hard to convince the target group that the high standards that are generally associated with business schools would be maintained at our centre. Managing the inputs derived from diverse geographical locations and catering to customized requests is by itself a challenge. It is also not a simple task to bridge the gap between the exact demands of a corporate house with what is being offered by the Business School.

Challenges: The biggest challenge is due to the lack of awareness among the common people regarding Cyber Security. One has to consistently deal with the feeling of negativity that exists on the subject of hacking. So one has to work with people and try to change their mindsets. It is also not quite easy to get associated with prestigious universities and institutions across India. We have to make the administration aware of the career and research related opportunities those are there in this field.
