My action research project aims to identify Indian senior educational leaders' (SEL) and policy implementers' (PI) continuing professional development (CPD) needs and to assess the usefulness and impact of this needs-based training programme.
My action research project questions are:
1. What educational changes are Indian SELs and PLs leading in 2021?
2. What leadership and management skills do they need in order to design, implement, and assess these educational changes?
3. How can CPD training help them to acquire and develop these skills?

Some topics of Action Research:
1. How to ensure that the curriculum of the Skill Courses/ subjects is aligned with the Industry demand existing when the students pass out of the school system or maybe 4-5 years down the line
2. How to bridge the Digital divide
3.  How to ensure the availability of qualified teachers for teaching Skill/ Vocational courses
4 How can technology leverage in the teaching of Skill/Vocational subjects
