District Institutes of Education and Training: A Comparative Study in Three Indian States TT13 This work is more challenging, multi-dimensional, different activities are going on and we can get different experiences at the same time. Teaching has only one dimension (RAJ/UDR PSTE lecturer June 1999). For others, the post in the DIET was making little call upon their Master’s level expertise. This had led to a sense of stagnation: TT03 Everything was changed and we got nothing out of it. I was the only lecturer of geography in Dhar District. I was devoted to my subject and now I feel so bad. AC In the DIET, how much geography can you use? TT03 Nowhere.[…] Where there is a little bit of history, geography and civics. That’s all (MP/DHA/TT03 21.6.99). SF MComm is not of any use but BEd and MEd have some correlation with this work. […] My computer training is being killed here. I am in-charge of computers but it is an outdated one. No-one takes the initiative to change the drive and update it (RAJ/UDR/ TT11 June 99). Table 3.4 illustrates from Dhar DIET a poor fit between qualifications and current deployment in the DIET. This DIET had 4 Senior Lecturers and 7 Lecturers but only three members of staff with the M.Ed were actually appointed as DIET staff. All the others were deputed from schools to work in the DIET. Only one lecturer had experience (7 years) in elementary education. A lack of academic environment was commented upon by those who had had high expectations of the DIET: TT10 Initially, I thought that a lot of literacy activity would be going on in the DIET. I would read books and be more academically involved. But when I came here I was disappointed. There is no academic atmosphere in STC teaching. […] I want to grow. The atmosphere is not very encouraging (RAJ/SS TT 010 June 99). During the project period, many DIET staff in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan were waiting to be redeployed, and this detracted from putting energy into current activities. In Madhya Pradesh, institutional restructuring was taking place and rumours about the impact this would have on the DIETs were rife. This led to a great deal of uncertainty about future roles. In Lok Jumbish, with the withdrawal of funding, there was uncertainty about whether Masuda DIET would be absorbed as a regular government DIET or continue as it was; and in Udaipur DIET, several senior staff members reported that they were waiting for the call to serve at SIERT, or for retirement.

The right kind of people are not coming. Staff should be selected rather than coming here by promotion or transfer (RAJ/UDR/TT 06 June 1999). 3.4.2 Induction procedures Induction procedures were not seen as satisfactory by any staff in our sample DIETs. In Rajasthan, there is an annual six day orientation training to which SIERT invites new recruits. Gujarat also had an induction programme. However, these programmes are not tailored to demand, so staff who had gone through induction reported that by the time it was conducted, they had already become familiar with the working of the DIET. These staff also felt that the induction is a theoretical orientation that did not assist much in guiding practice. In Madhya Pradesh, longer-serving staff remembered an induction, but more recent 58 DFID
