Institutional Development Plan in schools – UGC NET Question

An Institutional Development Plan is envisaged as a comprehensive school level plan that sets out academic, infrastructural and administrative priorities based on data and contributions from teachers, leaders and the community.

Option A:
Option A is incorrect because limiting the plan to canteen menus trivialises its role and ignores its academic and developmental focus.

Option B:
Option B is correct as it describes a broad, data informed improvement plan developed with participation from school staff and local stakeholders.

Option C:
Option C is wrong since NEP promotes transparency and collaboration; the IDP is not meant to be a secret document prepared only for inspectors.

Option D:
Option D is incorrect because the IDP covers far more than cultural events; annual day functions, if mentioned at all, are only a small part of overall school planning.
