Delhi govt to come up soon with state-of-the-art world class training university: Sisodia

The Delhi government will come up soon with a state-of-the-art world class training university in the city, Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia said Thursday.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and his deputy laid the foundation stone for a new District Institute of Education and Training (DIET) Thursday at the Baburam School campus in Shahdara.

"The Delhi government is also coming up with a state-of-the-art world class teachers training university in the city for world class training of teachers in the city. This will add up to the strength and the overall quality improvement in the field of teachers training in the city," Sisodia said.

After restructuring of the Delhi State Council of Education Research & Training (SCERT) and DIETs last year, this is the first major expansion of the DIET institutions.

The new DIET in Shahdara would be the 10th such institute in the city for teacher education and training.

Kejriwal hailed Delhi's education reforms and applauded education minister ..
