One
of the salient activities of the Institute is to provide human resource
development facilities and services for enhancing and sustaining the
capabilities of NTEP (NTEP – earlier known as RNTCP) programme managers
and other TB service providers through Modular reading, PPTs, hands on
training, and relevant skill development. The
three units
of the Division
are:
a)
Training
and Coordination Unit
b)
Computer
Training Unit
c)
Library & Documentation Unit
A. Training
and Coordination Unit
The
objective of the NTEP training programmes is to ensure programme managers,
teachers of medical colleges, medical officers and paramedical staff are
equipped with the skill set and knowledge required to
implement and sustain TB
control activities,
including quality
assured diagnosis of TB, management of drug sensitive TB, TB
comorbity , TB-HIV
Co-infection management, drug
resistant TB management, data management and forging partnerships with all
sectors involved in TB control activities.
Training courses and workshops with
respect to many aspects of TB
control are
conducted to
accommodate the ever-increasing
requirement of trained personnel.
Programme managers are imparted induction training update
training and refresh training.
Training
activities at
NTI pertaining to NTEP, are
coordinated by the HRD unit
at Central Tuberculosis
Division (CTD). The tentative plan for training activities to be held at
NTI is prepared for the ensuing year and sent to CTD, which in turn
communicates the same to all State TB Officers. This ensures a staggered
nomination of eligible candidates in appropriate batch sizes and allows
for suitable time to ensure release of participants from their offices for
attending the training programmes. Online
training courses are also being conducted.
The Training Unit works synchronously with the Hostel, Stores,
Laboratory and Transport Units of the
Institute to ensure smooth organization of training activities.
B. Computer
Training Unit:
The
Institute is suitably equipped to conduct online training programmes and
host online webinars, conferences, workshops and meetings.
The computer training unit also maintains the computer systems in
the campus and network integrity, apart from hosting the intranet emailing
system of the Institute. The
unit also supports usage of Nikshay at the NRL level.
C. Library
& Documentation Unit
The
Library unit has many valuable books and series for the perusal of TB
workers. It also provides many
scientific journals for keeping the staff and others up to date with the
developments in the medical field. There
is also a facility to read online journals which the Institute has
subscribed. The facility is
extended to research students also with requisite permission from the
Director of the Institute.
