New Delhi: IIM Indore started its 13th batch of the Faculty Development Programme (FDP) on April 11, 2022. The programme is designed to enable participants to acquire new teaching pedagogies and research approaches that will assist them in their teaching careers.
Professor Himanshu Rai, Director of IIM Indore along with Professor Saumya Ranjan Dash, Dean-Programs; Professor Subin Sudhir, Chair-Executive Education; and Professor Sanjeev Tripathi, Programme Coordinator-FDP official launched the five-week on-campus programme.
Through the Faculty Development Programme of IIM Indore, the collective knowledge of the IIM Indore faculty is shared with participating academicians, with a major emphasis on providing participants with modern research and teaching abilities. Emphasis is laid on understanding management philosophy, designing and developing learning tools, and so on.
Key focus areas of the FDP include participant-centered learning, teaching through cases, developing cases, teaching through simulation games, developing contemporary course outlines, research excellence, philosophy of management research, quantitative research skills, qualitative research skills and research tools.
At the inauguration event, Professor Himanshu Rai shared his life experiences and the teachings that helped him flourish as a teacher. He encouraged the new batch to pursue their passions, based on his personal experience of switching from corporate to academia.
He said, “When I switched from Tata Steel and decided to become a teacher, I witnessed resistance from the people around. However, I believe that one should always chase one’s dream and work hard to achieve what brings them joy and a sense of contentment. Whatever you think, speak or do has to be in consonance. The true strength of a character gets reflected when nobody is watching. If ever you feel embarrassed or fearsome or doubt your action, don’t pursue it. Listen to your heart and make sure you make the right decision”.
Professor Saumya Ranjan Dash and Professor Subin Sudhir also welcomed the batch, advising them to learn both in the classroom and via spontaneous discussions with their classmates.
A total of 18 participants registered for the programme who after successful completion will be eligible for IIM Indore's Executive Education Alumni status.
