Teacher training
To bring quality improvement, the National Initiative for School Heads' and Teachers' Holistic Advancement (NISHTHA ) was launched in August 2019.
An expenditure of Rs 550 crore has been incurred on the training programmes with a model for collaborative growth, promoting self-improvement and ensuring the enhancement of education as per the record available on the portal of NISHTHA.
Different teacher training programmes for all 4600 leading collaborator principals were successfully organized and completed by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in order to augment the teaching quality. Four-year Integrated Teacher Education Programme for pre-primary to primary and upper primary to secondary was notified by National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE) to raise the quality of preservice education.
Government-led missions such as Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching, Leadership for Academician Programme (LEAP), Annual Refresher Programme in Teaching (ARPIT), PARAMARSH and NITTTR are rigorously monitored schemes that have helped in retain qualified teachers, attract talent to teaching profession and upgrade teaching quality.
Separate budget
The MHRD has allocated a budget of Rs 711.64 crore under library grants for schools of different categories in 2019-2020. A scheme for providing education to madrasas/minorities (SPEMM) has a budget of Rs.119.90 crore to improve quality education and infrastructure development. With the vision of overall development of the students, schemes such as 'Khele India Khile India' and Jeevan Kaushal were introduced.
A number of flagship programmes have been launched to speed up the pace of imparting knowledge and skills such as SWAYAM, NEAT, NDL, E-Shodh Sindhu, PGI, Shaala Darpan to improve the quality of teaching. The innovative planning helped education to reach the hinterland which has led to a rise in the enrolment of rural aspirants.
Data available at the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) and MHRD portal reveals that the research and development field was equally focused both at school and higher education levels. In this era as the number of patents filled by IITs increased from 599 in 2015-2016 to 726 in 2019-2020.
