Consequently, there is an increased focus on teachers today to elevate the overall quality of teaching and learning. The study on Role of Faculty Development Programmes for Enhancing Teaching Effectiveness focuses on evaluating the impact and efficacy of structured development initiatives for faculty members in colleges affiliated with Mahatma Gandhi University. Recognizing the pivotal role of educators in shaping the academic and professional competencies of students, the research examines how these programmes contribute to the enhancement of teaching methodologies, curriculum delivery, and overall pedagogical effectiveness.The study employed a questionnaire-based survey method to collect data from faculty members participating in various development programmes. The responses provided insights into their perceptions of programme effectiveness, areas of professional growth, and challenges encountered. To analyse the collected data, t-test ANOVA were applied to identify significant relationships between faculty demographics, programme participation, and improvements in teaching effectiveness.Findings from the study indicate a positive association between faculty development programmes and enhanced teaching quality. The research underscores the critical role of continuous faculty development in advancing higher education quality. It offers recommendations for designing effective training programmes, ensuring their alignment with institutional goals, and fostering an environment that promotes lifelong learning among educators.
