Institutional Capacity Building for Autonomy & Accountability of Technical Education

S S, Managave, Dr. Sudhakar Bhoite

Abstract :

Changing social and cultural dynamics have occasioned a re-imagination of the enormous potential of autonomous institutions in the face of the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. In this perspective, autonomy presents an opportunity for institutional transformation and renewal, by way of institutional capacity building. A willingness of some educationists and academicians to examine the challenges and opportunities that await their institutions has resulted in the adoption of capacity building as an important activity for institutional ascendancy. At the core of capacity building is the recognition that strategic thinking and action about both an institution’s weakness and potential are critical to its effectiveness and sustainability. While there is no one way to undertake capacity building, the most effective approaches include three stages: 1. Assessment, 2. Planning and 3. Intervention. At present, autonomy and accountability are the key attributes for technical institutes to qualify for assistance under the Technical Education Quality Improvement Programme (TEQIP) launched by the Government of India with World Bank aid. Current political and economic realities require that a well-educated and trained indigenous workforce is needed to sustain technically based industrial operations in developing countries. The economy of nations in transition/developmental phase can be effectively stimulated by building the technical capacity of their workforce, through quality engineering education programs. In fact, high quality engineering education is a necessary forerunner to a more secure, stable and sustainable world, and hence developing countries seek to enhance their human, institutional and infrastructure capacity
