Training of Master Trainers in Community Based Participatory Reasearch

Our Focus

The National Education Policy, 2020, has outlined a transformative framework for higher education in the country. Engaging the community and being socially responsible in higher education is emerging as a new line of professional competence worldwide. The UGC, as a Subject Expert Group (UGC-SEG) as part of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) 2.0, has prepared the National Curriculum Framework and Guidelines for “Fostering Social Responsibility & Community Engagement in Higher Education Institutions in India,” which is also one of the verticals of UGC’s Quality Mandate, i.e., Social & Industry Connect for every HEI. Trained Master Trainers will begin teaching this two-credit course next semester in their respective colleges and universities. 

The Master Trainers’ Training Programme on Capacity Building of Faculty for Community-Based Participatory Research was conducted across six Regional Centres between 20th April 2022 and 28th July 2022. The programme was facilitated by Dr Rajesh Tandon, along with colleagues from PRIA and a member of the UGC Expert Group.
