The Central Institute of Educational Technology, commonly referred to by its more popular abbreviation CIET, was established in 1984 under the umbrella of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) by the Ministry of Human Resources Development, Government of India. The CIET is located at NIE Campus, NCERT in New Delhi, the capital of India.
The CIET originated as a result of the merging of two departments of NCERT – the Center for Educational Technology, and the Department of Teaching Aids. The aim of this new institute was to make new-age technologies in mass media literacy easily available at the school level. Their activities are centered around the branches of media like radio, television, satellite communications, cyber media, and movies.
