of new programme(s)? If so, highlight the methodology.
Yes, several workshops were held with people from the academic arena as
well as those working in the field to develop a current and relevant curriculum
for a course that is highly vocational in nature.
An Academic Advisory Board of the Department has been constituted with
external experts such as Prof. Jatin Bhatt (Ambedkar University), Prof
Siddhartha Ghosh (National Institute of Design) and Ms Richa Ghansiyal
(Designer & Entrepreneur) along with all faculty members of the Department.
This AAB is responsible for overseeing the progress of the students as well as
evolution of courses of the Department.
The School of Design has recently proposed introduce certificates, diplomas
and B.Voc and M. Voc courses in Craft Design & Development (proposed and
yet to be introduced) . The need assessment for the course was based on the
current emphasis of the union government on skill building and expression of
intent expressed by the above institutions regarding the need-rationale and
employment potentials for such courses.
