The NEP committee of St. Mira’s College, Pune organised a workshop on ‘The
Implementation of NEP’ on 12 th and 21 st December 2023. Dr. Basant Ahuja, Working
Chairperson- Sadhu Vaswani Mission graced the occasion as the resource person. Dr
Ahuja expressed gratitude to the organising team and asked the teachers to share their
opinion about the NEP. He stressed three things that will bring academic excellence to
any institution - right curriculum, groomed faculty and students. Dr Ahuja discussed
many aspects of education such as the importance of explaining teaching plans to the
students, maintaining a continuous evaluation system with 30:70, 70:30 and 50:50
patterns; absolute and relative grading, liberal learning, multiple entry and exit,
multidisciplinary minors, etc. He also emphasized the importance of faculty skill
upgradation and improvement and bringing research into the classroom. Dr Ahuja
emphasised that teamwork, uniqueness of every department in offering courses,
mandatory summer internships, etc. will play important role under the NEP.
Dr Ahuja also focused on the goals of higher education, role of a teacher,
requirements at HEIs. In his opinion, academic ambience and good infrastructure;
flexible curriculum, strong industry connections, attractive UG, PG and research
programmes, student-centric teaching and learning processes, learning outcomes
satisfying employer needs are the indicators of an excellent HEI along with
academia-industry collaborative teaching, where academicians/ teachers will take the
responsibility of teaching theory and the onus of teaching the application by taking up
case studies will be on the industry experts. The session was well-attended and the
guidance and expertise offered was well received.
