It will fine-tune skill of 38,000-odd teachers in this region

Union Ministry of Human Resource Development had released Rs. 11.50 crore under ‘Pandit Madan Mohan Malaviya National Mission on Teachers and Teaching’ for establishing School of Education at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University, its Vice-Chancellor K. Baskar said.

The school is meant to train school and college teachers through scientifically designed induction and post-induction training programmes.

He told reporters here on Thursday that it would shape 38,000-odd teachers in this region in a desirable and student-friendly fashion. The training modules would fine-tune their teaching practices.

Own buildings

Of 10 constituent colleges of MSU, which were established to provide quality higher education to poor students at affordable cost, nine colleges, except the one at Puliyangudi, will have own buildings during next academic year,.

The university’s cash reserve, which stood at Rs. 160 crore three years ago, stands at Rs. 212 crore due to a range of measures taken during the last three years.

The ‘file tracking system’ in the MSU administration is quite popular among the teaching and non-teaching faculty of the university and in affiliated colleges as he had set a deadline of clearing every file within 15 days.

Fund sanctioned

He said that Rs. 1.50 crore has been sanctioned to the university under Ministry of Human Resource Development’s Rashtriya Uchchatar Shiksha Abhiyan (RUSA) Innovation and Research Scheme for developing Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) and Sodium ion batteries which can replace the costly Lithium ion batteries.

If the SOFC project can accomplish the expected outcome, it will end up in fabricating the energy efficient fuel cell with greater storage and will be very much useful for the armed forces deployed in remote areas, he said.
