Government College of Education, previously known as Government Post-Graduate Basic Training College, was founded in August 1954 under a special scheme of Government of India for establishment of training colleges for teachers at the post-graduate level. The College has great tradition of high achievements in the field of teacher education and ranks among the leading colleges of education in the country.
The National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC) had accredited Grade ‘A’ to this College. The National Council for Teacher Education has sanctioned 25 seats for M.Ed. (General), 300 seats for B.Ed. till 2014-15. At present it is running two unit of B.Ed. (50 seats each) and One unit of M.Ed.
A teacher today faces the monumental task of man-making in the backdrop of a flux of fast changes taking place at the regional, national and international scenarios.
The very authority of the teacher as disseminators of knowledge has been put to doubt by the invasion of information technology. Quality assurance in this consumeristic society is becoming the hallmark of the longevity of a product as well as phenomena.
In this age of globalization, where entire mankind despite its economic prosperity in groping for Art of Living Life. It is the need of this hour today that the teachers of today equip themselves completely for the material, intellectual and spiritual world of tomorrow.
It is my earnest desire that pass-outs from this great institution utilize their stay here, during their teacher-education courses, as an important phase for chiseling their personality for a successful teaching career in the Emerging Brave New World.
