Navodaya Vidyalaya Scheme is a novel scheme to establish pace-setting institutions specifically for the rural children. For achieving its avowed objectives the most important tool available with the Samiti is its human resources in the form of ‘Teachers’. It is therefore necessary that the teachers are continuously provided institutional support to increase their professional competence and to make them aware of the latest innovations in the fields of education, curricular reforms and information technology. Teachers for Navodaya Vidyalayas are recruited through open competition at all India level. In- service training courses for all the teachers are being organised by drawing resources from within and outside NVS system for promotion of professional growth both in terms of content and methodology. These teachers have to undergo at least one 21 day in-service course in every five years not only to get eligibility to be granted senior or selection scales but also to maintain the pace-setting characters of NVS. Apart from these long duration (21 days) in-service training courses, short duration induction, orientation courses, seminars, workshops etc. are also organised as a part of teachers training programme every year. In order to help the teachers to reach a high level of attainment through innovation and experimentation, training of teachers is an important aspect of teacher skill up gradation. Emphasis is laid on modern educational technology, appropriate inter personal relationship, the right kind of academic environment, value orientation, interaction and participatory approach in teaching-learning process in the Vidyalayas. To meet its training requirements, Samiti has established National Navodaya Leadership Institute at NVS HQ, Noida and Navodaya Leadership Institute at Ranga Reddy, Goa, Udaipur, Puri, Kamrup, Ammalsan.
