Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Centre, previously known as ‘Human Resource Development Centre’, was established Academic Staff College” (ASC) in 1988, following introduction of scheme by University Grants Commission in 1987. Since its inception, it has been attracting teachers from all over India, rather than from a specific region and has become a platform where the Guru Nanak Dev University’s academic community shares its knowledge, inside and ideas with larger academic community of the country on a reciprocal basis. On 1St February, 2015, Academic Staff College was transformed to ‘Human Resource Development Centre (HRDC)’, which achieved high standards of excellence in its working, based on team work of a small but committed, dedicated and competent group of teaching and non-teaching staff. The efforts made by the Staff College are academically and socially relevant. In this globalizing era, teachers are imparted higher learning and are equipped with excellent academic standards and pedagogical tools.
