The topic of the program--“Faculty Development Program on Latest Trends and Teaching Methodology”—was pertinent, since in the present era of globalization and technological innovations, it is imperative that the education industry must also imbibe new trends in order to cater to the diverse needs of the students. The program dealt with the technical educational policies, new concepts, innovations, motivation, skills-development and upgradation of pedagogical/educational methodologies and other important issues . The speakers were eminent academicians and industry-experts, such as Prof. Paramartha Dutta, Professor, Dept. of CS, Viswabharati University; Prof. Amlan Chakraborty,Professor and Director, AKCSIT, University of Calcutta; Dr. Probal Sengupta, Alumnus, CTS; Prof. Aditya Bagchi,Professor at ISI/ RKMVU; and Prof. Bhargab Bikram Bhattacharya of ISI.
