The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), established in 1961 by the Government of India, is an autonomous organisation dedicated to enhancing the quality of school education across the country. Its mandate includes conducting and promoting research in school education, developing model textbooks and digital learning materials, organising pre-service and in-service teacher training, disseminating innovative educational practices, and collaborating with national and international agencies to strengthen educational reforms. Among NCERT’s major constituent units, the Central Institute of Educational Technology (CIET), established in 1984, plays a pioneering role in integrating educational technology into the teaching–learning process. CIET–NCERT designs, develops, and disseminates multimedia learning resources such as digital videos, interactive modules, e-books, radio and TV programmes, and ICT-based teaching materials. It also builds the capacity of teachers and educators in areas including ICT integration, media production, script writing, and digital pedagogy. In addition, CIET–NCERT provides technical support to national digital initiatives such as PM eVidya, DIKSHA, NISHTHA and SWAYAM to ensure accessible and inclusive education for all learners.
