SAMBALPUR: The Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Sambalpur, hosted a five-day Residential Capacity Building Programme for the second batch of Nurturing Future Leadership, under the aegis of the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme (MMTTP) on its campus.
Twenty-eight faculty members from 16 different Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) from across India participated in this programme.
Spearheaded by the Ministry of Education and aligned with the vision of NEP 2020, the programme aims to empower faculty members in HEIs to develop essential leadership capabilities by delivering a transformative learning experience, creating a deep understanding of the knowledge, skills and attributes, by identifying challenges and levers in managing and leading organisations.
In his welcome address, IIM Sambalpur Director Prof. Mahadeo Jaiswal said, “National prosperity and international recognition through accreditations and rankings begin with strong grassroots education. IIM Sambalpur believes that education leadership fosters innovation, integrity, and inclusiveness while enhancing governance. Our MMTTP programme aims to empower educational leaders to strengthen institutions, elevate standards, embrace technology, and drive systemic transformation, contributing to both national growth and global excellence.”
The prosperity of a nation hinges not only on its talent and resources but also on the ethical and transparent governance principles cultivated within its educational frameworks.
Interactive pedagogy
“This MMTTP programme employs an interactive pedagogy that includes case study teaching methods, supplemented with reading, lectures and simulations among other interactive exercises that will help enhance cross-functional coordination, conflict resolution, and consensus-building techniques. This customised programme will empower educators and administrators to become effective leaders,” he said.
The five-day programme featured multiple sessions by IIM Sambalpur faculties. One session on situational leadership was taken by Prof. Shyam Sundar Patnaik from OUAT. The programme was introduced by Prof. Ramakrushna Padhy, Programme Director, MMTTP. Prof. Poonam Kumar, Programme Director, MMTTP, gave the vote of thanks.
