The FDP was inaugurated by the Keynote speaker Prof J K Mitra Ex Dean, FMS, Delhi University with an overview of relevance of case teaching in Management Education. The second session was taken by Dr. A.K. Puri, Director General, ITS. He emphasized on the various techniques for teaching a case. The post lunch session was conducted by Dr. Harsh V. Verma, FMS, Delhi University. His session was very lively as he had a unique style of presentation, involving every faculty with the counter question and raising many issues and finally winding up with a common solution.

The second day started with a novel way of case writing skills taken by Dr. Mukesh Pandey, Associate Professor-College of Agribusiness Management, Pantnagar University, Uttarakhand and Dr. A.K.Puri, Director General, ITS. They both helped us to focus on identifying the core issue as the first step and to quote the facts without being beased and opinionated. The workshop was than divided in small groups and was personally guided on the leads by both of them.

The third day began with the discussion of the case “Fresh Field Crops” developed by Dr. Mukesh Pandey. He explained the business model to understand the case. Through this case he streamlined how to structure the case and then develop it further. The afternoon session gave a practical awareness by taking up presentation of each lead discussed, a day earlier. The cases developed by the faculties were given a serious thought and suggestion flowed in from everyone to enrich the case further.

The FDP concluded with the distribution of certificates to all the participants. The final touch was given D.G. ITS by sharing the various tips and steps to make the case studies more effective. Prof Anusha Agarwal and Prof Nitin Saxena coordinated the workshop.

The faculty members found the full day FDP very useful and knowledge enhancing.
