The exhibition was conducted under the aegis of the DIET Principal, Anjli Gupta, and witnessed the active participation of 55 teachers representing 11 zones of the district.
The exhibition showcased innovative working models created by teachers on topics aligned with elementary-level social science curricula, including the layers of the earth, layers of the atmosphere, the solar system, natural resources, fundamental rights etc. These models embodied the principles of project-based learning, emphasizing experiential and inquiry-driven education as envisaged in the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.

The program highlighted the importance of 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and digital literacy, enabling educators to make social science learning more engaging and effective.
Coordinator Altaf Hussain lauded the program as a resounding success, noting that the participating teachers demonstrated enthusiasm and actively engaged throughout the training. āThis CPD program not only enhanced teachersā knowledge but also empowered them to implement NEP 2020 goals by focusing on competency-based learning and creative teaching methodologies,ā he said.
