Under the policy directives of NEP 2020, graduate programs are being revised to adopt a holistic and multidisciplinary approach. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are encouraged to identify any gaps in various fields and involve experts who hold leadership positions in those areas. Professors of Practice (PoP) may share their expertise with students and are invited to teach students. These experts can be engaged as PoPs, and their knowledge and experience can be leveraged for the benefit of students. A Committee has been constituted, chaired by the Dean and Joint Director (Education) to appoint PoP at IARI, New Delhi.
