DIETs are a part of a larger strategy to achieve national goals in the areas of Elementary and Adult Education. Various components of the strategy are interdependent and mutually reinforcing. DIETs cannot therefore afford to view themselves in isolation, and must faithfully discharge their role of supplementing and complementing other parallel initiatives.

The Concept.

DIETS are the special institutions established with the special aim of improving primary education.

The basic transaction approach of the DIET is placing the learner at the centre to make education a joyful, innovative and satisfying learning activity, rather than a system of rote and cheerless authoritarian instruction.
