India’s dream to be a global superpower in the coming decades depends primarily on enhancing the skills of its human resources to meet global demands and increasing innovations and start- ups to fuel the economy. The roles that the universities, colleges and other educational institutions have to play is crucial in this context. Alone, each University/institution will require investment of considerable amount of its resources for these activities. However, being a developing country, it would be in the best interest to maximise the utilization of existing resources available with the Universities/ academic institutions by sharing the same, through academic collaboration and cooperation amongst them, for augmenting the human resources.
The Vidya Vistar Scheme is based on the principle of mutual respect, cooperation and sharing between two Colleges / Departments of both the universities as equal partners.
OBJECTIVES OF THE SCHEME
Making available to the partner College or Department of fellow University –
- Expertise, knowledge and experience of the faculty members
- Resources in the library
- Other academic facilities
COOPERATION FOR CAPACITY BUILDING OF FACULTY
Augmenting the capacity of faculty members is one of the primary steps for enhancing academic capital of an educational institution. Faculty members of partner College/Department shall be provided professional trainings and exposures to enhance their capabilities through online as well as offline endeavours.
