Publishing a paper is an important parameter and evidence of one’s awareness, knowledge, thought - process on the subject. A published paper becomes part of professional identity and helps distinguish from other academicians. This academic year we at SKPC took an initiative to provide a platform to the advance learners of all the departments by publishing their research papers. 28 students published papers in language, 30 in Commerce, 31 in Science and 22 in Arts & Management. This offers the advance learners an opportunity to participate in a ‘professional’ process. It enables students to meet deadlines, organize, collaborate, and demonstrate responsibility, in addition to making them feel confident about their work and how to showcase it. FACULTY EMPOWERMENT STRATEGIES The present scenario demands high quality teaching and learning from the teachers. Teachers have to process a great deal of knowledge and skills with regard to both teaching and assessment practices in order to meet those demands and standards of quality education.
