The Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Human Resource Development envisions to build a National Teacher Platform (NTP) to leverage the power of technology to serve ‘Our Teachers, Our Heroes’. It is being envisaged as a digital infrastructure and resource that will be available for use by all teachers, educationists, academicians, administrators, governments, NGOs and others in the field of education across the country. The NTP is being developed for the benefit of Teachers in School, Teacher Educators and Student Teachers in Teacher Education Institutes (TEIs).

Through the National Teacher Platform, MHRD envisions empowerment and capacity building of teachers. MHRD would like to invite ideas for a unique and engaging name for the upcoming tech-savvy teacher training platform. The name should have a mass appeal and resonate with MHRD’s vision of the platform that empowers teachers, enables them to collaborate across the country, and enriches their personal and professional development. The name should have the essence of celebrating the importance of ‘Our Teachers, Our Heroes’.

The Strategy & Approach paper of NTP was released by Hon. Human Resource Development Minister, Shri Prakash Javadekar during MHRD regional workshop in Bangalore on May 13th, 2017.
