GuruSetu is a flagship initiative of the Ministry of Education, Government of India (MoE / UGC-MMTTP), with three Indian Institutes of Technology serving as nodal centres — IIT Ropar, IIT Madras, and IIT Gandhinagar. Vicharanashala is a key partner in this project, a cornerstone for faculty development under the Malaviya Mission Teacher Training Programme.
The mission reimagines ARPIT — moving beyond its passive, one-size-fits-all model — by building a high-quality, open-access content repository across nine thematic pillars. Faculty development under GuruSetu is self-paced, personalised, and verified. Resources are freely available across institutions, breaking away from rigid, cohort-only training to meet educators where they are.
The nine pillars
Content is delivered through ViBe, the lab's AI-verified learning platform, where every faculty member's engagement is tracked, proctored, and verifiable. Faculty register once, learn at their own pace, and receive formal acknowledgement on meeting the completion threshold.
Faculty members interested in the future of teaching can explore the vision and join the journey.
