AI and digital platforms are getting progressively promoted across cooperative training institutions through academic, training and institutional initiatives. Technology-driven teaching pedagogy and learning platforms are being adopted by cooperative training institutions such as RICM, Chandigarh in Punjab. The measures include use of smart classrooms with interactive digital boards, projectors and ICT-enabled teaching tools; adoption of blended learning through e-content, online classes and Learning Management Systems (LMS); and training of faculty in ICT tools and digital pedagogy. Digital learning initiatives are also reviewed periodically for their effective utilisation.

Capacity building for teachers and cooperative professionals is being supported through Faculty Development Programmes (FDPs), refresher courses, seminars, workshops, webinars and other professional development programmes. The programmes cover areas such as cooperative management, banking and finance, governance, digital banking, digital transformation and other emerging areas of the cooperative sector.
