  ORIENTATION PROGRAMME
The Orientation programmes have been designed to the newly appointed teachers of colleges and universities who have less than six years teaching experience. The curriculum for these programmes have been organised in four components as suggested by the UGC.
Component A : Awareness of linkages between society, environment, development and education
Component B : Philosophy of education, Indian education system and pedagogy
Component C : Resource awareness and knowledge generation
Component D : Management and personality development
While component 'A' aims at helping the teacher to realise the larger perspectives of education and the role of the teacher in a society, component 'B' is to impart basic skills that a teacher needs for effective classroom teaching. The component 'C' aims at helping the teachers to be self sufficient in keeping themselves continuously abreast of new knowledge and techniques, processes, methods and source of knowledge. The component 'D' facilitates the teacher to facilitate with the organisation and the management of the college/university. It aims to make the teachers to understand the interlocking of the various sub system within the college/university and appreciate the role and functions of a teacher within the system and they may develop their own personality.
