Significance of the Course:
In todayâs globalising world, the means and modes of education are developing with the technological advancements. The role of a teacher, in the existing setup wherein the quality of education and research has become debateable, becomes more important. A teacher does not only impart knowledge but is a âKnowledge-creatorâ. He/she is an architect, who shapes the personality of the students. Knowledge creation is a paramount duty of the individual towards the society, nation and the entire humanity. The concept of knowledge should not be limited to only the black texts and expressions thereof; it should enlighten the lives of the students with wisdom. Rig Veda says, âThe intelligent man on the basis of his knowledge becomes powerful and great just as intake of food gives energy and strengthâ. The teachers have to preserve this knowledge in a similar way as we preserve the energy. The ultimate aim of the knowledge preservation is for passing it to the coming generations and the successors owe pious obligation to add therein and passing off to next generations.
Knowledge- âCreationâ, âPreservationâ and âSuccessionâ process involves various concepts, issues and challenges which need to be addressed and resolved in the light of past experiences, present needs and future hopes. This perspective possesses an immense value for the academicians from different fields in performing their individual, social and professional responsibilities. Considering the immense importance of the knowledge creation, recognition, and protection, the UGC- Human Resource Development Centre, DAVV Indore, in collaboration with Centre for Intellectual Property Rights, Maharashtra National Law University, Nagpur proposes a Short-term Course on Intellectual Property Rights to orient and train the teachers with different facets of Intellectual Property Rights.
