What SCERT Delhi does

SCERT Delhi (State Council of Educational Research and Training, Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi) is a government autonomous body established in May 1988 to provide academic resource support to the Directorate of Education (DoE), the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD), the New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), and Cantonment Board schools. Headquartered at Varun Marg, Defence Colony, New Delhi, the organisation employs 331 staff and operates through nine District Institutes of Education and Training (DIETs) covering all of Delhi's districts. SCERT does not operate a commercial business model; all services are delivered free of charge and funded through Government of NCT of Delhi budgetary allocations, with no pricing or revenue disclosed in the public domain.

The organisation's core products and programmes include a two-year NCTE-accredited B.Ed. programme for in-service Assistant Teachers, the INSET (In-Service Education and Training) framework with a Teacher Competency Framework and Online Capacity Building Programme, the Mentor Teacher (MT) programme, structured Competency Building Modules, and NEP 2020 implementation support. Supporting modules include a Training Dashboard for programme tracking, Publication and Curriculum Materials (manuals, school kits, ICT materials), PM eVidya digital education channels, the Vidyanjali volunteer programme, and an ICT Division for technology integration. Delivery is conducted both physically through the nine DIETs and digitally through the DIKSHA Delhi Portal (LEAD platform) and a Wadhwani Foundation partnership on the My Career Advisor App.

SCERT's revenue mechanics are entirely non-commercial: there are no paying customers, no pricing tiers, and no investor capital. The organisation is fully owned by the Government of NCT of Delhi, with no private shareholders or external funding. Strategic direction is set by central and state education policy (notably NEP 2020), and operational decisions such as the 2026-2027 merger of the South East B.Ed. Division with DIET Moti Bagh and DIET R.K. Puram reflect administrative consolidation rather than commercial expansion.
