Teaching and learning process plays an important role in moulding students. Especially in academic teaching we have a particular format of teaching methods and methodologies. This format is known as Pedagogy. Pedagogy is defined as method or practice of teaching for an academic subject. In today’s era new techniques in pedagogy is always considered as a key element in teaching – learning process. In India, where; there is diversity, pedagogy plays vital role in understanding concepts or subject matter. Diversity not only amongst the learners but amongst the Subjects signifies the importance of pedagogy. Subjects like History, Culture, performing or fine arts, Language and Literature which has different dimensions in different regions, always seek help of pedagogy. Specifically while studying Literature we face lot of problems from admitted students to the professional outcome of the Literature degree holder. The students who wish to pursue literature are largely found clueless towards their career goal and are just doing this to get a stamp of Graduation on their curriculum vitae. But Literature is a form of Fine Art; wherein the current pedagogy fails to accomplish its essence and it merely remains an academic oriented course. So the current pedagogy for literature is not sufficient for understanding the subject. If pedagogy for literature is designed as a Fine art form then it will be more effective for today’s era. To analyse the necessity of new pedagogy in literature, researcher has taken the topic on “Innovations and Challenges in framing Literature Pedagogy”. The method for research is a Survey Method where teachers and students of M.A. and B.A. Literature is target group.
