The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is a national level board of education in India for public and private schools, controlled and managed by the Government of India. Established in 1929 by a resolution of the government, the Board was an experiment towards inter-state integration and cooperation in the sphere of secondary education. There are more than 27,000 schools in India and 240 schools in 28 foreign countries affiliated to the CBSE. All schools affiliated to CBSE follow the NCERT curriculum especially from class 9 to 12.

National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 emphasizes on the Continuous Professional Development (CPD) of school heads and teachers to meet the needs of enriched teaching-learning processes for quality education. For this purpose, all Teachers and School Heads are expected to participate in at least 50 hours of continuous professional development activities every year for their own professional development, driven by their own interests, as per the norms/rules of CBSE. In this context, Central Institute of Educational Technology, National Council of Educational Research and Training (CIETNCERT) is offering online CPD programmes through DIKSHA portal and mobile app for the academic year 2023-24.

Course details are given in the Annexure provided by NCERT.

All Principals/Heads of schools affiliated to CBSE are requested to motivate their teachers to take on these courses, as per their personal interest, with an objective to accomplish the target of 50 hours of CPD programmes as mandated by NEP 2020.
