Abstract
The programme of action of the National Policy on Education (1986) categorically mentioned a comprehensive programme for professional development of teachers through Academic Staff Colleges (ASCs). Consequently, in 1987 the University Grants Commission (UGC) sanctioned the setting-up of 48 ASCs with certain addition; at present, the number of ASCs has risen to 51. The main objective of the Academic Development Scheme is to enable academic staff to become effective facilitators of student learning through becoming effective managers of the conditions that affect learning. Besides orientation and refresher courses, the ASC organises seminars for Principals/Heads of the University Departments and short-term programmes such as seminar, workshops, symposia, etc.
