The UGC – Human Resource Development Centre (UGC-HRDC) of Pondicherry University has been established to meet the professional training needs of the teaching community. Its primary objective is to bring Resource Persons who are experts in their respective fields to impart knowledge and create an environment for the enhancement of pedagogical and domain skills of teachers in higher education. The UGC-HRDC offers various courses such as Faculty Induction Programmes, Refresher Courses, and Short-Term Courses to enhance the advancement of knowledge of the teachers in the chosen disciplines.
