ABSTRACT
The present study was conducted to see the impact of Human Resource Development Centre programmes on professional growth of Assistant Professors. The sample comprised of 58 teachers who have attended the orientation programme in 2010. Being a qualitative data, only percentage (%) from the collected data, based on 5-point scale developed by the investigator himself, was calculated. The findings clearly indicated a high level of satisfaction towards the performance of Human Resource Development Centre in imparting knowledge. There was a positive response from the participants regarding brushing up of their teaching skills and inclination towards learning. Undoubtedly the programme was found to be helpful in promoting professional growth of teachers, yet some suggestions were made to make the courses more meaningful.
