Here are the guidelines for NISHTHA Programme in AP and Telangana details we can get at itpd.ncert.gov.in nishtha-mhrd-ncert-teacher-training-guidelines-action-plan-itpd.ncert.gov.in


NISHTHA Guidelines and Action Plan


Generally, training programs are conducted for teachers, school principals, SMCs and State/district/block/cluster level functionaries in isolated manner with different objectives and content. The NISHTHA program attempts to bring all the stakeholders and target groups on the same platform integrating them and orienting them on similar content focusing on their specific roles and responsibilities.

 National Resource Groups comprising of 15 Experts each will train Key Resource Persons (identified by the State and UT for further teacher training) and State Resource Person already trained by NIEPA (identified by the State and UT for further training of school heads and other functionaries). An exemplar methodology for selection of KRPs is at Annexure-I. The details on the number of KRPs and SRPs required for each state and UT is enclosed at Annexure-II. These KRPs and SRPs will directly train teachers and school heads. Therefore, the Master trainer layer has been eliminated. This will help in reducing the high percentage of communication loss that occurs due to many layers.

Expected Outcomes:

The following quantifiable outcomes have been envisaged to be achieved after the completion of integrated teachers’ training:


100 % government elementary teachers will be trained.
100% Head Teachers, Head Masters, and Principals will be trained
