The U.G.C. Human Resource Development Centre, Ranchi University performs exceptionally well as one of the premier institutions of this kind in India on the basis of the number of refresher and orientation programmes conducted and other academic programmes organised. These advancements in the domain of training teachers in institutions of higher education are results of an exhaustive strive towards academic excellence. The Human Resource Development Centre, Ranchi University was established in 1988-89 as a part of UGC’s attempts to re-orient the training of teachers in higher education. Human Resource Development Centre is functioning in the own  Building in Morabadi Campus, Ranchi University with a splendid array of infrastructural facilities including air-conditioned and multimedia enabled class rooms, well equipped computer laboratories, and with UGC’s Edusat network connectivity.

In pursuance of the National policy of education 1986 and consequent programme of action, The University Grants Commission had setup fifty Human Resource Development Centre in various Universities/Institutions in the country. Training of teachers is an immensely significant component of any emerging system of education and the 1992 Review of Educational Policy envisaged the comprehensive program for professional development of teachers through Human Resource Development Centres. Continuing efforts in the restructuring of courses, improving the quality of research and in constant revision and improvement of curriculum in Human Research Development Centres are intended to initiate a radical shift in the parameters of ‘training the teachers’ project.

The UGC Human Resource Development Centre, Ranchi University recognizes its crucial role in comprehending and facing the challenges of the shifting paradigms of human resource development and academic research. The emerging notions of Knowledge Economy and Knowledge Society have ostensibly redefined the role of Universities and other Academic Institutions in a globalized context. The Human Resource Development Centre Website provides detailed information about the schedule of Orientation Courses and Refresher Courses in various disciplines, information about academic seminars and workshops and an opportunity for the aspiring teachers to make advance application for the courses.
