A standout achievement of the outreach program was the delivery of two specialized Faculty Development Programs (FDPs) titled “AI Tools in Teaching & Learning” in Belgaum, Karnataka, delivered by resource person Mr. Ashish Shetty. The FDPs empowered educators with hands-on expertise in integrating artificial intelligence into research, classroom pedagogy, and academic administration.
- KLE Lingaraj College, Belgaum (15th–17th July 2026): A comprehensive three-day workshop attended by 32 faculty members, featuring focused modules on AI-driven academic tools.
- KLS Gogte Institute, Belgaum (16th July 2026): A four-hour intensive workshop (1:00 PM – 5:00 PM) attended by 44 faculty members.
