Annual Report 2004
The 16-week Academic Module held on campus covered the prescribed
syllabi through cross-disciplinary modules in 429 sessions of about 500
hours of teaching. This year the course objectives which had continued
unchanged for a long time were extensively revised in keeping with the
emerging training needs. The training methodology adopted included field
visits, case studies, seminars, action research project schemes/initiatives,
small group discussions and exercises. Extensive reading material on
each of the modules was also circulated. A dual online feedback
mechanism of Daily and Weekly Feedback was followed. The course end
feedback of the course was also very high. A detailed course report was
also brought out, copies of which are available in the library for reference.
During the BPST attachment the Officer Trainees called on the President of
India, Vice President of India and the Prime Minister of India. There were a
large number of guest speakers invited during the course including serving
and retired members of the service, academicians, Hon'ble ministers, and
other public personalities. IIM Ahmedabad conducted two modules, on
management during the course.
