        abstract = {Higher and technical education institutions in India are facing persistent challenges related to the attraction and retention of qualified teaching staff, particularly in semi-urban and regional areas. The Khandesh region of Maharashtra—comprising Jalgaon, Dhule, and Nandurbar districts—has experienced rapid growth in higher and technical education institutions affiliated with KBC North Maharashtra University and the Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE). Despite this expansion, many colleges continue to report high faculty turnover, vacancies in core academic positions, and limited retention of experienced educators. In this context, employee welfare and well-being have emerged as critical human resource management concerns influencing faculty satisfaction and commitment. Employee welfare encompasses the range of facilities, benefits, and support systems provided by institutions, while well-being relates to the physical, mental, emotional, and social health of teaching staff. This chapter examines the conceptual and empirical relationship between welfare measures, employee well-being, and faculty retention in higher and technical education institutions in the Khandesh region. Through an extensive review of existing literature, the chapter identifies key welfare dimensions affecting teaching staff and establishes a conceptual framework linking welfare and well-being with retention outcomes. Additionally, it outlines a systematic methodology for empirical investigation, aimed at understanding region-specific challenges and institutional practices. The findings are expected to contribute to academic discourse and provide practical insights for policymakers and institutional administrators to design effective welfare strategies that enhance faculty well-being and improve long-term retention in regional higher education institutions.},
