1. VARIOUS ACTIVITIES TAKEN UP AT DIET
District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) is an apex academic body at District
level in the field of education. There are seven departments in DIET namely Pre Service
Teacher Education(PSTE),In service Field Interaction and Coordination(IFIC),District
Resource Unit(DRU),Work Experience(WE),Curriculum and Material Development
Evaluation(CMDE),Educational Technology(ET) and Planning and Management(PM).
In fact it is an upgraded institution from teacher training institute into DIET as per
recommendations of National Policy on Education 1986.In brief it is not confined to pre
service training alone but its scope is extended to education, resources, development, field
interaction , evaluation, use of modern technology, lab area and close knitting with the
society. Hence there is a wide scope for development in chosen area of requirement and
interest. There is ample scope to into the society to explore the needs and plan for the
requirements by conducting surveys and research studies also.
Principal is the head of the Institute and he can develop like anything with team spirit. In

the same spirit of innovation, and involvement I developed the institutes where I worked as
Principal DIET.

developed the Institute
Construction of Compound wall.
The Institute was not having compound wall and I have seen few encroachments .Hence I
decided to see that there should be compound wall not only to arrest encroachment by
antisocial elements but to have protection to the women trainees residing in the hostels .There
are paucity of funds in the department. Even then I did not mind it and approached the
District Collector and submitted the need for compound wall explaining in detail and
convinced by submitting the estimates by tapping the services of Engineers locally. t was
constructed by allotting nearly thirteen lac rupees from the funds available with District
Collector which is not small amount at that time .It is a great success for the institute which
was not having compound wall for nearly more than fifty years and thus saved from grabbing
of public property apart from extending safety measure.
Additional Facilities for Hostels
Similarly Girls Hostel was developed by constructing additional rooms, repairs, was
sanctioned with the recommendation of the District Collector from RWS funds.
Construction of Additional Rooms from departmental Fund
Estimates were prepared with the assistance of local government engineers and submitted
to the department for approval and the department was kind enough by sanctioning rupees
nineteen lacs for construction of 5 additional class rooms with the initiation and
commitment

Once the compound wall was constructed, the leveling of the play ground was taken next
step with the support from the staff and students. The services of students were utilized under
work experience in leveling and cleaning of the grounds, thereby attracted and resulted in
