Imphal, October 13:
While appreciating establishment of DIET (District Institute of Education and Training) centre, the Zeliangrong Students' Union, (ZSU) Tamenglong district has demanded to shift the centre from Tamei to Tamenglong district Hqs.
A memorandum submitted to the Education Minister L Nandakumar said that establishment of DIET centre at Tamei is not in the best interest of the people as many of them would not be able to enjoy the benefits of the centre due to its location far away from the district Hqs coupled with bad transportation and accommodation facilities.
It observed that there was no sufficient school in Tamei for the trainee teachers to undertake practice classes.
Asserting that all the candidates for pre-service teachers were unwilling to go to Tamei due to many practical problems like accommodations, transportation etc, the memorandum noted that regular correspondence between the ZEO and the Autonomous District Council was extremely difficult due to the distance and bad communication facilities at Tamei where the DIET was located.
With a view to facilitate optimum benefits from the centre to a greater number of people, the memorandum reiterated the demand to shift the DIET centre from Tamei to Tamenglong district Hqs.
