Staff Development Centre

About the Centre

The University Grants Commission had initiated the establishment of Staff Development Centres in all universities to undertake the activities that provide opportunities for the growth and career development of all categories of staff by facilitating the acquisition of post-recruitment qualifications for confirmation and promotion; service-specific advanced knowledge and skills through in-service training; and the knowledge of current global trends towards their sustainability in the career, which would uplift the quality of the nation.
