CENTRE FOR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF URDU MEDIUM TEACHERS (CPDUMT) Centre for Professional Development of Urdu Medium Teachers (CPDUMT)
PROFILE OF THE CENTRE:
The significant role of teachers in social engineering and nation building is universally recognized. However, a teacher cannot discharge his/her duties in today’s fast changing world as per the need of the hour unless he/she is well trained and keep on refreshing his/her knowledge through periodical orientation and refresher courses. Therefore, to make the teachers a national asset, the adequate arrangements of teachers’ periodical trainings are indispensable. There is no gainsaying that teachers of Urdu medium schools, spreading across India, must also be imparted trainings so that they might update their knowledge and skills and in turn contribute their best to the nation. This very idea induced the government to ponder over establishing such centres/academies that might be instrumental in arranging orientation/refresher courses as well as other activities to ameliorate the professional skills of Urdu medium teachers which eventually led to the sanction of “Centre for Professional Development of Urdu Medium Teachers (CPDUMT)” by the University Grants Commission, at Maulana Azad National Urdu University, Hyderabad, in October 2006. Following having been formally established, the Centre has taken up the responsibilities aiming at the professional development of Urdu medium teachers.
