conducted to acquaint young college and university teachers with wide scope of meeting
professional expertise and social expectations by training young teachers through well-
organized theory and practical sessions on class-room presentations and students interactions.
The sessions are conducted by peer resource persons in the field. Participants self-organized
presentation-cum-evaluation sessions help develop confidence in them. The other activity,
