Faculty Development Programme (FDP)
Short, intensive programmes for college and university teachers, research scholars and educators to update their knowledge, research skills and teaching practice.
What is an FDP?
A Faculty Development Programme is a structured short course, usually of five to ten days, in which teachers and researchers learn from subject experts through lectures, workshops and discussion. In India, FDPs are a widely recognised part of the professional development of college and university teachers.
