IIM Raipur is pleased to announce the launching the ‘Nurturing Future Leadership Program Batch -2, a prestigious capacity building initiative under the aegis of the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Program (MMTTP), of the Ministry of Education (MoE, Govt. of India (GoI).
The world of academia calls upon academics to deploy skillsets best honed with focus and solitude. Intellectual rigor, convergent thinking, deep focus, and single-minded pursuit of academic excellence are sine qua non for meaningful progress through the academic echelons. These well-honed cognitive skills hold the academics in good stead through their journey in the rigorous world of academia.
Administrative responsibilities, however, require the erstwhile academics to function in roles that need a different skill set. As heads of teams or institutions, academic administrators must deal with scores of people and rapidly move across varied tasks quite far from their specific areas of expertise. In addition to academic excellence and integrity, this role now requires an arsenal of skills such as teamwork, emotional intelligence, negotiation, and leadership skills for leading self and others to organizational excellence.
Besides administrative acumen, these positions also call for familiarity with the statutory and regulatory requirements as well as government processes on procurement and general financial rules (GFR). An administrator is expected to be familiar with the intricacies of recruitment processes, tendering and contracting, judicial matters and litigation, RTI, and POSH.
The need to bridge this gap for the academic administrator has been appreciated for some time. Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme is a concerted effort to equip the potential academic administrator with the appropriate skill set for this new role.
The Centre for Public Management, IIM Raipur has, therefore, curated this programme based on the following three pillars:
The target audience is permanent faculty members with at least 3 years of teaching experience (all levels) of public-funded Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) including state universities.
The proposed date for the five-day residential Programme is 21st – 25th October 2024, at IIM Raipur.
Public funded HEIs including state universities may nominate two permanent faculty members with at least 3 years of teaching experience to participate in this program. The number of participants is being restricted to 35 (Thirty-Five), in the second batch. Nominations will therefore be accepted on a first-come-first-served basis.
Successful submission of Nurturing Future Leadership Programme (NFLP) application on MMTTP portal: https://mmc.ugc.ac.in/NFLP/NHome You requested to send the Nominations Form duly signed PDF/scanned soft copies to the address: adityakumar@iimraipur.ac.in latest by October 15, 2024.
Upon successfully completing the programme, the participant shall be awarded a certificate by IIM Raipur under the aegis of the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme (MMTTP).
