Faculty development refers to the structured processes, programs, and initiatives aimed at enhancing the professional competencies, instructional skills, research capabilities, and overall academic contributions of educators in higher education. As the landscape of education continues to evolve due to advances in technology, changes in student demographics, and the increasing need for interdisciplinary learning, faculty development has become an indispensable component of institutional success. It encompasses a wide range of activities including pedagogical training, curriculum development, technology integration, mentorship, leadership workshops, assessment literacy, and scholarly engagement. One of the primary objectives of faculty development is to empower instructors to adopt innovative teaching strategies such as active learning, flipped classrooms, outcome-based education, and inclusive pedagogy that cater to diverse learning needs and enhance student engagement. Moreover, faculty development supports academic research and publication through workshops on grant writing, journal submission protocols, data analysis tools, and ethical research practices, thereby contributing to the institution’s research output and academic reputation. With the rise of digital transformation, programs also focus on upskilling faculty in the use of Learning Management Systems (LMS), online assessment tools, virtual labs, and AI-based educational technologies to ensure effective delivery in hybrid or fully online environments. Institutions often establish dedicated Teaching and Learning Centers (TLCs) or organize Faculty Development Programs (FDPs), Faculty Induction Programs (FIPs), and refresher courses, frequently in collaboration with national agencies like AICTE, UGC, and NAAC, to maintain accreditation standards and promote continuous professional growth. Additionally, faculty development initiatives foster a culture of reflective teaching and academic collaboration by promoting peer review, classroom observation, and the sharing of best practices. Leadership development is another key area, preparing faculty to take on administrative and strategic roles within departments and academic governance structures. Ultimately, faculty development is a dynamic, lifelong process that not only enhances the effectiveness and satisfaction of faculty members but also positively impacts student outcomes, institutional innovation, and the global competitiveness of the education system.Apache Cassandra is a powerful, open-source, distributed NoSQL database management system designed to handle large volumes of structured data across many commodity servers, offering high availability with no single point of failure.

27. Refer to ‘Rules’ poem pg.47 in Class 5 Term 1 Course Book

28. Governments rule most countries,
Bankers rule most banks,
Captains rule their football teams
And piranhas rule fish tanks.
There are rules for gnobling gnomes
And rules for frying frogs,
There are rules for biting bullies
And for vexing vicious dogs.
There are rules for driving motor cars
And crashing into chums,
There are rules for taking off your pants
And showing spotty bums.
There are rules for nasty children
Who tie bangers to old cats,
There are rules for running riots
And rules for burning bats.
There are rules in the classroom.
There are rules in the street.
Some rules are wild and woolly
And some are tame and neat.
And some are pretty sensible
And some are pretty daft;
Some I take quite seriously,
At others I have laughed,
But there is one special rule
You should not be without:
If you do not like the rules
OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SHOUT!
OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SHOUT!
Rules

Mrs.Verb are young couples. The couple have three children: a son – Pronoun

praising them. Whereas Adverb loves her mother and always praises her.
