About ETEI, Kishorenagar
Our institution namely Government Elementary Teacher Education Institution has a rich memorable history, rather heritage to its credit. On the early post-independence period an Elementary Training School was established by the then king of Athmallik province Raja Kishore Chandra Deo as it is said by prominent eyewitness old fellows. Being a lover of learning the king though without administrative power donated his court building for the purpose. A training school came into being accordingly which imparted education and training to the elementary teachers. The period was probably 1952/53. In the course of time the old institution turned in to Secondary Training School Kishorenagar. All assets of Ranjagola E.T School which turned in to Govt. S.T School in 1966 merged along with its employees and assets in Kishorenagar STS in 1969. Hence Govt. Secondary Training School got it existence form 1969. Furthermore the govt. changed the name of Govt. STS as Govt. ETEI to follow the norms of National Council of Education, Research and Training New Delhi, in 2014 onwards. The intake capacity has been enhanced to 100 from 50. New infrastructure and staff are sanctioned accordingly. The Govt. is trying its best to improve the all round developmental process to ensure quality education to the children, the future citizens of the country. Our institution through hardships and hindrances, through rashes and dashes is improving gradually in all fields and trying its best to furtherise it in future.
Vision
Action without an objective is a flop. No work can be fructified unless having a goal set at the front, therefore everyone should have a clear destination.
Ours is a training institution. The work is to impart training to elementary teachers to be good teachers and thereby build the future of the nation. The task is not an easy one. If a doctor fails, the life of one patient is in danger. But if a teacher fails he can derail one generation of students in that school. Persons of all walks of life are made by teachers. Doctors, engineers, pilots, soldiers, politicians and every other personality owe their origin form within the four walls of a class room. An able teacher is one of the mast vulnerable, valuable assets of a state. As our institution has the task to fulfill to its capacity the noble duty for the society, We are working with team effort to complete it as far as we can.
The student teachers are the most valuable being for us. Though then we can see our vision fructified .Good teachers are always remembered as the architects of good students climbing to highest posts. Guru Viswamitra of Rama Laxam, Sadipanee of Srikrishna, Dronacharya of Pandavas and Kouravas, Guru Rama Das of Chhatrapati Shivaji are great Gurus of our ancient day who are steel remembered.
Therefore our main vision is to create good teachers having ability to transform the society to equalize and tranquilize the evil powers in the society. Let the ALMIGHTY be helpful to fulfill the vision and decorate his creation with beautiful humane flowers.
