Empowering Teachers for Excellence | VC Prof. Nagabhushan at Faculty Orientation 2024

Описание: "In this video, Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. P. Nagabhushan Garu addressed the Faculty Orientation Program (FOP) on 20th August 2024 at Vignan’s University, in his signature style—motivational, practical, and deeply insightful, designed to transform faculty into guides of real learning and life skills for students.
🎓 Philosophy of Education by VC Sir
VC Sir began by highlighting that education is not merely about teaching knowledge—it is about shaping students into independent thinkers, problem-solvers, and socially responsible individuals. He emphasised:
Faculty should focus on practice, not just preparation. Students must learn to apply knowledge in real-life situations, not just memorise for exams.
R22 and upcoming R25 regulations, along with the AAA (Academy Assessment & Awards) program, are tools to empower faculty, giving them clarity on credit systems, major-minor structures, and continuous assessment frameworks.
Teachers are architects of the next generation; what faculty instil in students today defines the identity of the university tomorrow.
🔑 Key Insights Shared in the Program
VC Sir elaborated on multiple aspects of faculty development and student engagement:
Education is beyond classrooms – residential campuses, student interaction, and holistic development are vital for life-long learning.
Intrinsic skills and practice matter more than rote knowledge. He stressed that students must be trained to solve real problems, not just to get placements.
PhD support and research funding for Vignan group faculties ensure that teachers themselves continue learning, growing, and inspiring students.
Faculty should act as mentors, coaches, and guides, not merely knowledge transmitters. Every interaction with students should help them grow in ethics, skill, and curiosity.
Continuous improvement—VC Sir encouraged faculty to self-reflect, adapt, and adopt new methodologies to enhance student learning outcomes.
🌟 VC Sir’s Signature Style Reflected
Shared stories and reflections from his own life experiences, emphasising practice over preparation, learning over mere teaching, and the importance of intrinsic motivation.
Explained the difference between preparing for exams and practising for life, urging faculty to transform classroom education into experiential learning.
Reinforced that Vignan University’s mission is not only to produce degree holders but also lifelong learners and creators.
Stressed the responsibility of faculty to uphold the vision of Dr. Lavu Rathaiah Garu, ensuring that students grow academically, personally, and socially.
