CHANDIGARH: The Haryana chief minister (CM), Manohar Lal Khattar has directed the officers concerned to develop such a system under which a single educational institute should be set up for imparting education from K G to Postgraduate levels. He directed the officers to identify two such universities wherein such systems can be implemented initially.

The CM gave these directions while presiding over a review meeting with the State Educational Research and Training Council (SCERT), District Institute for Education and Training (DIET) and Block Institute of Teacher Education (BITE) held here today. Haryana Education Minister, Kanwar Pal was also present in the meeting.

The CM directed the officers to also chalk out a plan for the accreditation of private institutions and this should be continuously monitored so that they can meet the required standards.


During the meeting, it was informed that in the New Education Policy, from the year 2030, it will be mandatory for a teacher to hold a B.A.-B.Ed integrated degree. Khattar directed that work on this programme should be started from next year rather than to wait for the year 2030.

CM further directed that 10 schools each should be identified in three districts of Haryana including Gurugram, Jhajjar and Kurukshetra where Internships for the students taking B.A.-B.Ed integrated degree can be provided. He said that apart from in-service training, training should be made compulsory even before recruitment.


It was apprised in the meeting that at present 21 DIETs and four BITEs are functional in the state. These Institutes have been set up under the 60:40 funding scheme of the central and state government. Besides this, two Government Elementary Teachers' Training Institutes (GETTIs) in Haryana are being run under 100% state funded scheme. In addition, there are 340 privately funded institutes offering Diploma Courses in Education (D.Ed).
