The two-day event is being organized by the National Council of Teacher Education (NCTE) as part of the silver jubilee celebration of its establishment in 1995.

The Ministry of Human Resource Development will be launching the world's biggest project for teacher training named NISHTHA (National Initiative on School Teachers Head Holistic Advancement).On August 22, 2019, More than 42 lakh teachers will be trained through this mission.

This initiative is in recognition of the fact that India cannot truly progress until and unless the skills of teachers are periodically upgraded.
