The National Cooperative Policy proposes to establish a nationwide database of cooperative teachers, instructors, resource persons, and trainers, capturing key information such as their location, experience, and areas of expertise.
This database will help streamline training efforts and ensure the right expertise is available where needed.
To strengthen the teaching ecosystem, the policy also aims to create a pool of newly certified teachers and instructors through a structured certification system.
At the same time, it emphasizes enhancing the academic capabilities of existing faculty in the cooperative sector through continuous training and upskilling initiatives.
The policy further recommends the design of an appropriate and attractive remuneration structure for different levels of teaching personnel working in affiliated institutes, to ensure professional commitment and retention.
Additionally, it calls for the development of a standardized recruitment process and clearly defined eligibility criteria, including qualifications and teaching experience, for various categories of trainers and educators. This includes visiting faculty and part-time resource persons, ensuring quality and consistency across cooperative education institutions.
