Teachers To Get Dronacharya Award Based On Students’ Feedback In This University

Prayagraj: Teachers of Allahabad University will be felicitated with the ‘Dronacharya’ award for their performance. However, the performance of the teachers will be “assessed” by their students.

The assessment would be on the basis of secret feedback from over 30,000 students. Such an exercise is being undertaken for the first time in the country.

The teachers’ felicitation will be a part of the varsity’s annual convocation tentatively scheduled for September 23.

“The central varsity plans to identify one teacher for each of its four faculties — Arts, Science, Commerce and Law — and then give away the ‘Dronacharya Award’ for the first time at its forthcoming annual convocation function that it plans to hold in September,” Allahabad University Public Relations Officer Jaya Kapoor was quoted as saying by news agency IANS.

“The information regarding this has been made available on the university website. The varsity has also introduced a feedback form for the current students on its official website. The feedback form gives students an opportunity to register their response towards the teachers who teach them in their classroom,” said Kapoor.

The feedback form finalised as part of the process has two steps. “In the first step, all the necessary directions and information have been made available and students need to fill in the basic details there. In the second, students need to mark their responses as asked,” the varsity PRO added.
