Abstract

An ancient and multifaceted Indian language Sanskrit is being learnt through some programmes under Open and Distance Learning mode. Rashtriya Sanskrit Sansthan as a leading institution has innovatively established a distance learning institute Mukta Svādhyāya-pīţham: MSP (मुक्तस्वाध्यायपीठम्). This institution is working with a motto-स्वाध्यायान्मा प्रमद (svādhyāyān-mā pramada). This institute is expanding well with its capable human resources. Like any institute MSP needs the human resources very competent in accordance with their roles and responsibilities. This is more important in the changing situations.
In this paper the behavioural anchors are defined as characteristics of core competencies associated with the Distance Education management. Competency-based behavioural anchors are defined as performance capabilities needed to demonstrate knowledge, skill, and ability acquisition. Here are very essential, but seven limited competencies for every professional pursuing for qualitative development of MSP. Four Academic-Teaching and Learning, Communication, Assessment and Motivation and Innovation; and three Administrative-Planning, Leadership and Management are discussed in this paper.
