Concept Note
Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) bear a profound responsibility and perform a crucial role not only in the dissemination of knowledge, but also in societal transformation. They are the centres of knowledge, tasked with integrating gender equality, achievement of human rights, and enhancement of social justice into their curricula. This not only constitutes desirable behaviour in the contemporary global context, but forms a part and parcel of the comprehensive mission of higher education. Such priorities also strongly re-sound in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)- especially, SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities)- all of which sum inspires the importance of inclusive, equitable, and lifelong learning opportunities to all.

However, on any policy promise, there remains disproportionate representation as described by gender, caste, class, and ethnicity, among other identity elements, which persist in the academic and research arena. These differences do not only threaten the ideas of inclusiveness and justice but also restrict the transformative power of education itself. Hence, there is an urgent need to critically involve HEIs in the process of reflecting and redeveloping institutional practices, pedagogical approaches and research agendas with the prism of equity and rights. Organized with this aim, this Faculty Development Programme aims at providing a platform to academicians, policy makers, administrators and researchers interested in investigating different forms of inequality, and its impact on individuals and society.

Objectives:
To enhance knowledge on the issues of gender equality, human rights and social justice in education
To develop curricula aimed at inclusive education through innovative teaching pedagogies
To create awareness of policy frameworks and advocating strategies
To promote gender-sensitive approaches and advocacy of human rights in educational settings
To encourage inter/multidisciplinary research opportunities for humanities and social sciences
