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. As result Diet's were set up in almost all the
districts of all the states in the country.
Govt. of India gave top priority to
elementary education different education commissions were
constituted which submitted their reports and on the basis of
their findings, Govt. made drastic change in the education
policy. In the beginning education was a state subject but
through an amendment in the constitution in 1976 the subject of
education was put on the concurrent list. As a result State
Govt. as well as Central Govt. now collectively frame a
particular education policy & National Education Policy 1986,
introduced a new pattern of education know as 10+2+3 system.
Establishment of Diet's is based on the recommendations of
National Education Policy 1986.

Training, Datia was established in 1990 by converting
