Nishtha Integrated Teacher Training Programme
NISHTHA : National Initiative for School Heads' and Teachers' Holistic Advancement
All the elementary school level Teachers, Principals, Block Resource Centre Coordinators (BRCs) & Cluster Resource Centre Coordinators (SRCs) will be trained by SRGs.
NISHTHA
is a capacity building programme for "Improving Quality of School
Education through Integrated Teacher Training". It aims to build
competencies among all the teachers and school principals at the
elementary stage. The functionaries (at the state,
district, block, cluster level) shall be trained in an integrated
manner on learning outcomes, school based assessment, learner – centred
pedagogy, new initiatives in education, addressing diverse needs of
children through multiple pedagogies, etc.
This will be organized by constituting National Resource Groups (NRGs)
and State Resource Groups (SRGs) at the National and the State level
who will be training 42 lakhs teachers subsequently. A robust
portal/Management Information System (MIS) for
delivery of the training, monitoring and support mechanism will also
be infused with this capacity building initiative.
