The faculty members directly and proportionally influence the strategic performance of the HEIs. Their potential to innovate in teaching-learning, research, and social services is harnessed using scientific deployment and redeployment (DRD) for leading a wide variety of innovations in the institute. The literature review reveals that there is no study conducted on the DRD of faculty members in the context of innovations in education, research, and social services. The article is the outcome of a research study conducted after the declaration and initial implementation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The research objectives addressed in the study are to ascertain the effectiveness of DRD and suggest strategies to improve the effectiveness of DRD. A descriptive research approach was used in which more than 1425 respondents from all over the country provided their views and information. The article outlines the interrelationship between human resource management practices with DRD practices, characteristics, and goals of DRD, and strategies to improve the same. It is concluded that the effectiveness of DRD is at level two on a scale of four points with reference to the implementation of NEP 2020-aligned innovations. The strategies to improve the effectiveness of DRD are suggested.
