About us

The District Institute of Education and Training (DIET), Vikarabad, was originally established as a Teacher Training Institute (TTI) in 1984–85 through G.O.No.168 Edn. Dt.12-03-1984. In line with the National Policy on Education (1986) and the goal of Universalisation of Elementary Education (UEE), all TTIs in the state were upgraded into DIETs in a phased manner. Accordingly, the institute was upgraded as DIET vide G.O.MS.No.121 Edn. dated 10-05-1990.
With a dedicated campus built across nearly 10 acres, the institution moved into its present premises in 1992.

DIET Vikarabad plays a district-level role in strengthening school education by offering high-quality pre-service and in-service teacher training. The institute has seven academic branches and conducts Telugu, English, and Urdu Medium sections to meet the diverse educational needs of the region.

With a strong commitment to quality education, innovation, and teacher empowerment, DIET Vikarabad continues to serve as the district’s core academic, training, and resource support centre.
