What challenges did you face while inculcating this program into your curriculum?

"Lack of academic freedom and opportunities to innovate ideas"

In my opinion, we should understand that a good teacher is not a fountain of knowledge but also an agent of change. Lack of academic freedom makes faculty curtail their motivation to learn, innovate and update their teaching practices. However, thanks to our specialized programs which give an opportunity to our faculty to explore, motivate and absorb the latest teaching pedagogy. They leave no stone unturned to provide the best quality education to our students.
