Leader and leadership are age old concepts. Civilizations have continuously evolved since time immemorial due to the influence of innumerable leaders. However, questions like whom to call a leader or what attributes actually lead to successful leadership never had straight answers. A leader is the one who has a potential to lead, however, the purpose of leadership is always to influence individuals or groups for achieving common goals. Academic leadership is one of such dimension of the leader, which has its influence in the academic settings. Need for developing leadership in academics have gathered further significance in 144
the contemporary world, as the growing tensions and contradictions of twenty first century education have forced youth to constantly look for valuable advice and leadership.
As a teacher education department, we are constantly involved in the training and re-training of our students through internship programs conducted within the schools in our vicinity. As such, the role of Principals or faculty of the schools becomes very important in shaping the skills of the interns. Our purpose as a teacher educator is to inculcate Academic leadership in our student; providing principals and senior faculty of our practicing schools the avenues of professional development on academic leadership has always been my priority, as the coordinator of the School of Education, under the scheme of Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya National Mission on Teachers and Training (PMMMNMTT).
I am glad that the department in the Tehri Campus has taken up the challenge in this regard. I congratulate Prof. Sunita Godiyal and her team and wish every success for endeavor.
