The Story in Brief
Jamia Millia Islamia (JMI) in collaboration with the Central Institute of Educational Technology (CIET), NCERT, started a three-day Faculty Development Programme on ICT and emerging technologies from 10 August 2026. Around 100 participants, including pre-service and in-service teachers, postgraduate students and research scholars, are attending the programme, which aims to strengthen technological and pedagogical capacities.
The first day included registration through the DIKSHA app and a pre-test to assess existing knowledge. Speakers included Prof Aejaz Masih, Prof Shireesh Pal Singh of CIET, and JMI Vice-Chancellor Prof Mazhar Asif, who distinguished between knowledge and education, emphasising experiential learning and linking the programme to the National Education Policy.
The Indian Opinion
Faculty development programmes are often dismissed as box-ticking exercises, but this one uses DIKSHA’s pre-test and post-test to measure actual learning, which is a real accountability step. The stress on experiential learning and the distinction between knowledge and education shows a thoughtful design. The real test will be whether these 100 participants pass on their skills to their own students in the coming year. Will the DIKSHA post-test scores show a material jump? That number will settle the question of impact.
