personality and inculcate practical
knowledge among students
Mission
DIET is the realisation
of one of the five components of a centrally sponsored
scheme namely restructuring and reorganisation of
teacher education, approved in October 1987.
The 1964-66 education
commission observed that in order to enhance the
quality competence and character of teachers, they
shoul be provided quality training and academic/
resource support.
DIETs : Pace setting Role
:
Pursuit of excellence
would have to inform all activities of the DIETs, in
which context, it will have two interrelated aspects :
Ø
Excellence in the
institutes own work.
Ø
Helping the
elementary and adult education systems in the district
, in achieving excellence.
As far as the first
aspect is concerned, efforts will be made to provide
to DIETs all necessary physical and manpower
resources. But it will be for them to harness these
and other available resources in the best possible
manner, so as to achieve and promote excellence.
In this context, DIETs,
will also have a very important pace setting role to
play. They will be expected to become models for other
educational institutions in the district in terms of
meticulous, efficient and effective planning and
execution of functions, harmonious and creative
organizational climate, maintenance of a clean and
attractive campus etc.
DIETs :
Special Target groups :
The concept a National
system of education implies that upto a given level,
all students irrespective of caste, creed, location or
sex, have access to education of a comparable quality
: says the NPE. It goes on to say to promote equality,
it will be necessary to provide for equal opportunity
to all not only in access, but also in the condition
for success. This is quite the essence of and means
that needs of educationally disadvantages groups would
have to be given maximum attention :
The largest such groups
are :
Ø
Girls and women
Ø
Scheduled castes
and scheduled tribes minorities
Ø
The handicapped
and other educationally disadvantaged groups e.g.
working children, slumdwellers, inhabitants of hilly,
desert and other inaccessible areas etc.
It follows that DIETs also, in all respect of their
work, would have to give primary attention to
promotion of education of the above groups
