91 extractive question-and-answer pairs built from Guidelines for Training/ Orientation of Faculty on IKS, published by ugc.gov.in. Every answer is a verbatim span of text the source prints, and each row carries the passage it sits in, its offset in that passage, the source quote, the page and the location in the document, so any row can be checked against the original. 64 of the 91 pairs (70.3%) are explanatory questions and 27 restate a figure. 98.90% of rows pass the corpus quality gate.

| What unavoidable error is caused by parallax in latitude determination? | an error – that is unavoidable | Explain how with a very simple experiment the directions at a given place can be easily and precisely determined. Also point out that this experimental method is very old—described even in the Śulbasūtras. Also outline the theoretical basis for the formula that has been given for correcting the points marked in connection with determination of the direction using śaṅku. Bring out the versatility of this simple device śaṅku in determining a variety of physical quantities of interest including the latitude of the place. Explain the concept of parallax in general, and how it introduces an error – that is unavoidable in conducting this experiment for determining the latitude of the place. Outline the corrections that have been prescribed in the text that would take into account the above error, as well as the fact that sun is not a point source of light. 11. | 590 | definition | 1.000 | Explain the concept of parallax in general, and how it introduces an error – that is unavoidable in conducting this experiment for determining the latitude of the place. | 26 | page=26,block=2 | 0.700 | |

| What is necessary for integrating Indian Knowledge Systems into the curriculum under NEP 2020? | strengthening the role of the faculty and evolving them into energized, motivated, and capable faculty | Integrating IKS in curriculum for capacity building in faculty and educating the students as envisaged by NEP 2020 requires strengthening the role of the faculty and evolving them into energized, motivated, and capable faculty. The success of NEP 2020 and its special component on Indian Knowledge System relies heavily on the shoulder of the faculty of Higher Education Institutions. Most of the faculty in Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the country, although experts in their respective fields, may require additional familiarization efforts for the Indian Knowledge Systems. Teacher training/orientation in the UGC recognized institutions is typically conducted by various agencies such as HRDCs and Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya National Mission on Teachers Training (PMMMNMTT). | 124 | relationship | 0.970 | Integrating IKS in curriculum for capacity building in faculty and educating the students as envisaged by NEP 2020 requires strengthening the role of the faculty and evolving them into energized, motivated, and capable faculty. | 3 | page=3,block=4 |
