Programme Implementation Unit (PIU)

Home/ Constituents/ Divisions of SCERT/ Programme Implementation Unit

The PIU at SCERT will take lead in all the non-academic projects and coordination tasks necessary for the functioning of the SCERT. One of the key challenges highlighted by several SCERT faculties is that a large proportion of their time is spent in coordinating logistical/administrative tasks and other non-academic activities. An empowered and a flexible PIU, with appropriately qualified non-academic staff, will play a major role in restoring the much-needed focus of SCERT faculty on academic activities.
