Organised under the aegis of the UGC\u2013Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Centre (MMTTC), Himachal Pradesh University, Shimla, the programme aims to deepen understanding and enhance implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The FDP is being held in online mode from June 19 to June 27, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>inaugural session<\/strong> commenced with scholarly enthusiasm and witnessed wide participation from faculty members across various departments of Abhilashi University as well as scholars and academicians from other institutions. The event was honoured by the presence of Dr. Ashwani Kumar, Assistant Director, MMTTC, Shimla, who highlighted the transformative role of Abhilashi University in the grassroots implementation of NEP 2020.

In his thought-provoking and comprehensive presentation, Prof. Thakur explored the revolutionary nature of NEP 2020, describing it as a shift from traditional rote learning methods to a competency-based and outcome-oriented model of education. He elaborated on critical themes such as the Indian Knowledge System (IKS), multidisciplinary approaches, Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), the significance of instruction in the mother tongue, and inclusive education practices.<\/p>\n<p>In an enlightening segment, Prof. Thakur also emphasised the importance of ancient Indian texts like the <strong>Vedas and Puranas<\/strong>, along with the traditional wisdom of medicinal plants, which form a significant part of the NEP\u2019s focus on cultural and knowledge revival. He passionately conveyed that teachers are the \u201ccatalysts of change,\u201d and their mindset, adaptability, and commitment will determine the policy\u2019s success. He further called for robust pedagogical reforms, technological integration, and a culture of continuous professional development aligned with national educational objectives.<\/p>\n<p>The session was enriched by the presence of all <strong>Deans, Directors, Coordinators, and Heads of Departments<\/strong> of the university, contributing to a lively academic discourse. The vibrant participation of faculty members created a dynamic platform for collaborative learning and intellectual exchange.<\/p>\n<p>The session concluded with a formal <strong>vote of thanks<\/strong> by Dr. Navdeep Sharma, who acknowledged the contributions of all participants, especially the keynote speaker, Prof. D.R. Thakur. He also expressed gratitude to the university\u2019s leadership for their continued support and visionary direction.<\/p>\n<p>On this occasion, <strong>Vice Chancellor, Prof. (Dr.) H.K. Chaudhary<\/strong> extended his best wishes, noting that the true success of NEP 2020 lies in translating policy into classroom practice. He expressed confidence that this FDP will serve as a crucial step in that direction. <strong>Registrar, Dr. Kapil Kapoor<\/strong>, praised the initiative, stating that such programmes are instrumental in empowering faculty and fostering strong academic ecosystems.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chancellor, Dr. R.K. Abhilashi<\/strong>, expressed his satisfaction at the university\u2019s proactive involvement in the national educational mission, while <strong>Pro-Chancellor, Dr. L.K.
