The role of every teacher in building the nation is very crucial one. In fact he is the architect in the task of shaping the destiny of the nation. To be qualitative education system, of course the improvement of teacher is must. For this purpose the faculty improvement programme plays vital role. It contributes much in upgrading the quality of education in general and the teacher in particular.

Need of Faculty Development Programmes : It has been observed that a lecturer is generally expected to take full load of teaching work and sometime even more from the first day of his appointment. In this situation neither he gets training or any support or any orientation progarmme to him from the seniors or higher authority. Even he can get neither sufficient time for adoption nor no chance to observe good senior teachers. He has no prescribed opportunity to study syllabus, lecture plan, and consult the H.O.D of his department or to study the modern techniques of teaching, seminars, tutorial classes. He often lacks the knowledge of the mechanics of his profession and does not know how to set question papers or to assess the answer sheets. In this situation of total neglected atmosphere, the new teacher often n contended to copy mechanically the methods and procedures adopted by his own teachers and inflict then on his students. In this way, by and large the pointless and tradition of giving lectures and dictating notes has passed on from generation to generation. The incalculable loss involved in this unimaginative approach can as well as should be avoided by the refresher courses and faculty Development Programmes. The need of such programmes is more acute in the professional and skilled area such as Commerce and Management Education.

Importance of Faculty Development Programme : Refresher course and the Faculty Development Programmes are always beneficial to the teachers and the education as follows: 1. As refresher course and Faculty Development Programmes serves the important tool for the teachers, it also bridge the gap between the faculty and the students. 2. The role of faculty development programme is not limited up to only to provide necessary training of only teaching but it also varies up to development of the faculty from all side. 3. They tap the talents of teacher and give them an opportunity to flourish. 4. An investment in such faculty inmporovment programmes always yields rich dividends because financial resources required are very small when measured against resulting improvement in the education of millions. 5. One way of achieving higher social productivity and multiplier effect in management training is to train the teacher who in turn will become messengers of knowledge in the field of management education.
