Transforming Education: DIET Gorakhpur’s Legacy of Excellence in Teacher Training and Innovation, Inspired by Historical Figures like Munshi Premchand.
About Us
Earlier, a normal school was operated in this campus. Under the National Education Policy of 1986, the concept of the District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) was conceived, and to give it a concrete form, in the first phase, DIETs started taking shape in 15 districts of the state. The District Institute of Education and Training, Gorakhpur, came into existence through the BTC training (JTC, which has now been discontinued) being conducted in the normal campus of the district.
Under the in-service division, training for teachers working in pre-primary, primary, upper primary, and secondary schools is successfully conducted from time to time. Under the pre-service division, 200 D.El.Ed. trainees receive training in each batch. Activities such as curriculum review and development, module development, book reviews, innovative learning, remedial teaching, TLM fairs, ICT competitions, yoga competitions, stress management, safety and security, and subject-based training are continuously conducted. Last year, the institute received five new classrooms and an auditorium (Guru Gorakhnath), which are being used continuously. With the recommendation of the government/department as a Center for Excellence, its continuous development is taking place.
The geographical area of the institute is quite large. Its history is not only connected with teaching and training but also with many educationists, social workers, freedom fighters, and people associated with the field of education. Munshi Premchand wrote his famous stories 'Eidgah' and 'Two Bullocks' here. The first principal of the institute, Mrs. Rajeshwari Kumari (in-charge), served from 17.07.1993 to 30.06.1995, and the current Deputy Director of Education/Principal is Mr. Abhishek Kumar Pandey (in-charge).
