DIET (by Neelam and Sandeep)

DIET is the most significant educational intervention in the country, while the NCERT came up in the 1960’s and the State Councils of Education Research and Training came up in 1970’s, the need for a third tier of training and resource support structure, right at the district level was genuinely felt in order to improve the quality of basic education.
