Vimala Ramachandran was appointed to the RGF supported chair and she joined in June 2013. Prerna Goel Chatterjee joined as a consultant in September 2013 and Dr Anupam Pachauri joined as Project Consultant in October 2013


As a first step towards identifying the scope of work to be done under the aegis of this Chair, a free-flowing brainstorming was held in-house and a few project ideas were identified. This was followed by a systematic survey of published work on teacher management and development in India as well as global literature on the subject. Simultaneously NUEPA decided to constitute an advisory committee to guide the work of this chair.

This will be done through state-level field based study involving perusal of government notifications, orders and interviews with key administrators involved in teacher management.
National opinion survey on what teachers think and feel about the way they are positioned in the education system and how the teaching cadre is managed. This project is expected to be launched in June 2014 and should be completed by 31 March 2015.
