The Ideal Teacher
A teacher can never truly teach unless he is
still learning himself. A lamp can never light
another lamp unless it continues to burn its
own flame... Truth not only must inform, but
also must inspire. If the inspiration dies out
and the information only accumulates then
truth loses its infinity. The greater part of
our learning in the schools has been a waste
because for most of our teachers, their
subjects are like dead specimens of once living
things, with which they have a learned
acquaintance, but no communication of life
and love.
Rabindra Nath Tagore

Central Institute of Education, University of Delhi
cordially invites you to the Sixty Seventh Foundation Day Address.
Shri Anupam Mishra
(Environmentalist)

ii
The Department of Education, University of Delhi, earlier known as the Central Institute of
Education (CIE), was, perhaps, the first major institute of professional learning and research in
Education, established just after independence. The first Prime Minister of India, Pandit
Jawaharlal Nehru and, then, Education Minister, Maulana Abdul Kalam Azad, took considerable
interest in the establishment of CIE in 1947 and its activities and progress in those early years.
Maulana Azad visualized the function of CIE not merely to “turn out teachers who will be „model
teachers‟”, but to evolve into “a research centre for solving new educational problems of the
country”. Over these past decades, CIE has attempted to work towards this vision. Moreover, at
this juncture, when the nation has introduced the Right to Education Act and a National Curricular
Framework for Teacher Education, and is grappling with how it will prepare a vast cadre of
teachers who can ensure quality with equity, CIE will need to brace itself to address this challenge.
Recognised as an Institute of Advanced Studies in Education (IASE) and having established the
Maulana Azad Centre for Elementary and Social Education (MACESE), the Faculty of Education
has developed several academic programmes.
Address by the Head of the Department
th
I extend a very warm welcome to the Chief Guest of the 67 Foundation Day of CIE, to all the
dignitaries who have accepted our invitation to be here with us today, and to all my colleagues and
students.
We are very privileged to have with us our distinguished speaker, Shri Anupam Mishra, a well
known Gandhian and Chairperson of the Gandhi Peace Foundation. Anupam Mishra has
travelled widely in rural India to understand the nature and causes of the water crisis. He has
used the indigenous knowledge that he acquired, through his extensive travels, to suggest a
solution to this problem by preservation, conversation, maintenance and management. He has
helped groups in Rajasthan in the regeneration of ponds, through the technique of rain water
harvesting.
His extensive field research on traditional ponds and water management resulted in the
publication of a widely acclaimed book, Aaj Bhi Khare Hai Talaab, in 1993. His second book,
Rajasthan ki Rajat Bunde, is a compilation of water-harvesting and management systems in
Western Rajasthan.
He is the recipient of many prestigious awards for his path breaking work, including Jamnalal Bajaj
Puruskar, in 2011.
Today, however, he is going to share his experiences of two unusual schools. It would be of great
interest to all of us to understand the issues of knowledge, language and water, as a natural
resource and their linkages with the discourse on education.
Welcoming once again today‟s chief guest, on this day, I pay my regards to each and every
founding stone of CIE, congratulate each and every building stone of CIE, who gave the current
shape to CIE and extend my best wishes to all the shining stars, who are sitting here and who will
create the golden pages of CIE‟s tomorrow.
Before I conclude, on behalf of the CIE family, I would like to pay tribute to our dear colleague
Prof. R. P. Sharma, who we lost this year.

Academic Programmes
Bachelor of Education
The Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.) is rated as one of the best programmes of its kind in the
country. It is perceived as, essentially, the first formal preparation for educators, although its
primary focus is on secondary school teaching. It is also seen as an initial professional degree for
those who may wish to pursue further studies and professional specializations in educational
management, policy making and planning, curriculum development including textbook design,
guidance and counselling, working in alternative school systems, teacher education and
educational research.
The B.Ed. programme in CIE is characterised by an intensive school experience programme
(SEP), a technology awareness programme, many co-curricular activities including sports,
community service and work experience which contribute towards the development of a more
holistic teacher. It has some subject based academic bodies, including the Civics Society, the
History Society, the SOCRATES etc. for nurturing the talents of the students. B.Ed. is offered in
three other colleges of the University of Delhi in addition to the CIE, namely Maharishi College
of Education, Lady Irwin College and Shyama Prasad Mukherjee College. An effort is
made to facilitate inter institutional collaboration and coordination on all important decisions
concerning this programme. Currently, the B.Ed. Coordinators at CIE are Dr. Jayshree Mathur
and Dr. Alka Behari.
Bachelor of Elementary Education (B.El.Ed.) Programme
Offered in select colleges of the University of Delhi since the last two decades, the Bachelor of
Elementary Education (B.El.Ed.) programme has earned the reputation of being an exemplar
programme of integrated teacher education. A comprehensive participatory review of the
programme undertaken last year, furthered the cause of the previous two reviews of 1996 and
1998. These reviews had led to put in place structural measures for course transaction across
colleges through regular faculty development programmes, robust frameworks for the practicum
courses, the school internship programme and the assessment basis and criteria for the annual
evaluation of student-teachers with the aim to sustain the vision of the programme across a
diverse set of institutions.
This year, Departments of Elementary Education of two colleges of the University of Delhi, namely,
Gargi College and the Institute of Home Economics took the lead to organise the Fifth
International Conference on the theme Education, Politics and Social Change in collaboration with
67th Foundation Day, December 19, 2014, CIE Annual Report 2014

the Comparative Education society of India. Over 150 scholars participated from within and
outside the country. All eight B.El.Ed. colleges worked for the Conference and Dr. Manisha
Wadhwa, the current Co-coordinator of the B.El.Ed. programme, undertook several
responsibilities. Three B.El.Ed. faculty members have been selected for as the CESI Executive
Committee, 2014-2016. Currently, the B.El.Ed. Coordinator at CIE is Prof. Poonam Batra.
Bachelor of Education (Special Education)
Lady Irwin College
In Lady Irwin College, the period between January 2014-November 2014, at its Education
Department, has seen many interesting, scholarly and academically enriching events.

topics, were organised by the students. A talent sharing event was organised in the Department of
Education, wherein many social issues were discussed, through a skit. A Stress Management
Workshop was conducted. A calligraphy workshop was undertaken by Mr. Arvind, from the Delhi
School of Art. An interactive session on B.Ed. education by Ms. Bhavi, an ex-student and a
personal grooming workshop by Mrs. Ashmeen Munjal, to guide our students about saree draping

practice teaching, were conducted. For the Diwali Mela, students made items to sell, put up food,
games and mehendi stalls. A Texture Workshop was held by our own students, who specialised
in textiles (FAS). The Ekta Diwas was also celebrated for the very first time on campus and
contained a series of events such as a speech, skit, panel discussion, slogan and poster making.
The Durgabai Deshmukh College of Special Education (Visual Impairment)
The Board of Trustees of the Blind Relief Association had established the Durgabai Deshmukh
College of Special Education (Visual Impairment) since the academic year 2006-2007. With the
implementation of 27% OBC seats, as per the directives of the University of Delhi, the present
capacity is 33. Prof. Nargis Panchpakesan continued to be the chairperson of the college
Governing Body till August 2014. Shri Ranjit Puri took over as the new chairperson of the
Governing Body in September 2014.

Institute for the Visually Handicapped, Dehradun on Teaching Inclusive Classroom. The teacher
trainees offered volunteer service in Tech Share, organized by the Barrier Break, at India Habitat
Centre. The college and the Blind Relief Association jointly organized an interactive session with
special students of Edinburgh University, Scotland; Kings College, London and EOC (University of
Delhi) as a part of the Connect to India programme on Disability and Inclusion: Perceptions &
Issues in Contemporary India. The teacher trainees of the college enacted a drama titled Goli Le
st
Lo on the occasion of the 71 Annual Day of the association. The students of the 2013-14 session
of the College went for an Educational Tour Programme to Varanasi, U.P and visited various
institutions for the visually impaired and other disabilities and visited Sarnath. The students visited
the regional centres of the National Institute of the Mentally Handicapped, National Institute of the
Hearing Handicapped and, the Multi-handicapped Unit and Deaf Blind Unit of the NAB.
Master of Education (M.Ed.)
The Master of Education (M.Ed.) programme is a significant step in the preparation of Educational
Researchers, Educational Administrators and Teacher Educators. CIE has a full-time programme
of one-year duration and a part-time programme of two years. The part-time programme serves as
a gateway for practitioners such as school teachers, school administrators and NGO personnel to
pursue professional development. The M.Ed. scholars, apart from receiving a rich grounding in

in-depth understanding of educational research and to build conceptual foundations in specific
areas of advanced studies in education. CIE offers both, a full-time and a part-time programme,
for the Master of Philosophy (Education) degree.

dissertation.
67th Foundation Day, December 19, 2014, CIE Annual Report 2014

The course work gives students the opportunity to study individualized courses that are tailored to
suit their research interests. These could be a combination of courses designed within the
Department of Education and those chosen from courses across disciplines offered by other
departments of the University of Delhi, including courses on qualitative and quantitative research
methods. The doctoral program is based on the premise that rigorous research will help develop a
cadre of professionals who can develop specialized knowledge in areas of educational practice
and public policy. The areas of active engagement and research are as diverse as special
education, language education, science education, comparative education, curriculum studies,
policy analysis, gender studies, mental health, cognition, inclusive education etc. Besides this, the
scholars are actively contributing to the academic and corporate life of the institution. Currently the
Ph.D. coordinator at CIE is Prof. Namita Ranganathan.
A total number of 128 Ph.D. scholars are currently registered in the Department. Of these, 20
scholars were registered this year. The details of 10 Scholars, who were awarded their Doctoral
Degree this year, are indicated below:

Students’ Panchayat
The Students‟ Panchayat is an integral component of the B.Ed programme of CIE. This year too
an Orientation Programme was organized for the students to familiarize them with the functioning
of the Department. Currently the Students‟ Panchayat Conveners at CIE are Ms. Seema Sarohe
and Mr. B. S. Rawat.
Students‟ Panchayat held several activities this year. Some of the prominent activities held by
Students‟ Panchayat are:
Panchayat activities of the year opened with enthralling performances by the houses on July 25,
2014. Each house (Aurobindo, Gandhi, Ramabai,Sarojini, and Tagore) put up a mesmeric group
dance, a melodic group song and a gripping short skit . This facilitated the smooth induction of
B.Ed and M.Ed. students to CIE.
A theme was designated for each month of the academic session and related activities were
organised to realise the theme's essence.
In-house discussions and debates were organised on the theme Freedom in the month of August.
This was followed by election of in-house captain and two vice-captains, and inviting nominations
for students' representation in the Panchayat. Election to the Students' Panchayat positionsPresident, Cultural Secretary, Literary Secretary, Sports Secretary and Treasurer was organized
successfully on September 12, 2014 following all the procedures of a democratic and transparent
election system. The installation of the Students' Panchayat was solemnized on September 26,
2014 with the oath taking ceremony by the elected members and an inspirational talk on
'Panchayati Raj in India' by the Chief Guest, Dr. Girish Kumar (Associate Professor, Indian
Institute of Public Administration).
The month of October observed the theme 'Health issues in Education' through high-energy interhouse volleyball tournaments and an informative talk by Prof. Ritu Priya Mehrotra on 'Health and
Education, an Indian Health Systems Perspective'.
The theme 'Diversity and Inclusion' was explored by screening a film on ' Jyotiba Phule‟ followed
by a thought-provoking discussion session. Jhootan- a play by 'Lok Shikshak Manch' based on the
autobiography of Om Prakash Valmiki was also staged in the month of November. Also, an Interhouse Bulletin-board competition on the theme 'Children and their world' was held in the same
month. It attempted to demystify the world of children with some critical reflections using the visual
medium.
Activities slated for the coming months include preparation and celebration of Foundation Day in
December 2014, Literature festival in January 2015, a talk and film screening on the theme
67th Foundation Day, December 19, 2014, CIE Annual Report 2014

'Gender and Society' in February 2015, and a talk/film screening on the theme 'Our Rights' in
March 2015.
School Experience Programme (SEP)
The SEP programme provides a 40 day field experience with life in a school. This year, the
Department engaged with 50 schools. Students and scholars were oriented comprehensively
towards developing a praxis which is inclusive and child centred and geared towards addressing
some of the challenges in strengthening the Right to Education Act. The SEP remains one of our
linkages with the schools, drawn mostly from the Directorate of Education of the Government of

Technology Awareness Program for Students (TAPS)
Technology Awareness Program for Student (TAPS) intends to develop the prospective teachers
to acquire computer related skills which will enable them to be computer literate and understand
the critical issues surrounding the use of Information Communication Technologies in the field of
Education. The important objective of the program is to enable the professional development of
prospective teachers to critically discern internet and multimedia materials for their use in
Education as an agent of change in the classroom and address systemic issues such as reach,
equity and quality. This year, TAPS has been strengthened with the installation of new computers,
LCD projectors and the extension of the computer lab, to meet the increased demand of blending
ICT in education. Currently, the TAPS In-charge at CIE is Dr. M. Rajendran.
Visual Education
Visual Education is an important practicum course of the B.Ed. programme, in which students are
engaged in developing appropriate teaching learning materials, related to their course, along with
an aesthetic sense. They learn various skills involved in the presentation of material on charts and
boards such as, drawing, writing in bold letters, colour combinations and other intricacies related to
it. Students, based on this learning, pick up certain topics or themes from the syllabus and develop
material, which enhances the understanding and grasp of topic. Thus, there is integration
of visuals with text. In addition, students work on issues of collective significance and importance
such as dengue, pollution, cleanliness, significant days and events. For this, they make interactive
bulletin boards during their School Experience Programme (SEP) in schools and the Department.
Using text and visual media to effectively communicate ideas, on different themes, is what they
practice and learn by developing bulletin boards. Students also learn to identify appropriate audiovisual material to present historical and literary images related to their school subjects, during
SEP. Thus, Visual education develops a student's ability to comprehend, make meaning of, and
communicate through visual means and media, usually in the form of images. Currently, the Visual
Education In-charge at CIE is Ms. Dipi Pathak.
Work Experience
Work Experience is an integral part of the B.Ed. course. This component focuses on the honing of
senses, inculcation of value for dignity of labour and nurturance of aesthetics leading to the
personality development of the prospective teachers. The strands which weave the fabric of this
component this year are gardening, music, and theatre in education, photography, painting, tie
and dye, clay modelling and electrical gadgets. It helps the individual to manifest his/her inner
potential and achieve self realization, objective which humanity has held in high esteem. Currently,
Work Experience In-charge at CIE is Dr. Sushmita Lakhyani.

Regional Resource Centre for Elementary Education
The Regional Resource Centre for Elementary Education (RRCEE) is based on the vision of
creating spaces and mechanisms that connect teachers and teacher education institutes with
spaces of higher learning. Viewing teachers, as intellectuals and agents of change, the Centre
provides teachers the opportunity to generate knowledge and be involved in a reflective practice
that locates education, within the larger social and cultural context.
Over the last year, RRCEE continued organizing activities in pursuit of this vision. The teacher
fellowship program saw nine teachers, from the 2013-2014, present their research work, at the
annual teacher fellowship symposium. In June 2014, RRCEE organized a summer fellowship
programme, open to teachers from across India. A three day faculty development workshop was
organized in June, 2014 at the International Guest House, Delhi University. The workshop,
organized in collaboration with DERT Meghalaya, was a part of the ongoing efforts to revise the
D.Ed. curriculum in the state of Meghalaya. In November, 2014 RRCEE led the final workshop in

following academic year. As one of the organizing institutions for the Fifth International Conference
of the Comparative Education Society of India (CESI), RRCEE provided academic and logistical
support towards the Conference held from 16 to 18 November, 2014. Through the last year,
RRCEE organized two public lectures on science education and gender. The public lecture, by Dr
T V Venkateswaran, discussed how the history of science can be used to talk to young children
about the nature of science and Prof Nivedita Menon, in her lecture, spoke about nationalism and
provided a feminist critique.
The library at RRCEE is open to the public and has over 1300 titles, covering various areas in
education, literature and periodicals. The web portal (www.rrcee.net) has been upgraded with a
new interactive design, while retaining the virtual repertoire of readings, articles, translated articles
