<br />
==History==<br />
Government College of Teacher Education Dharamsala was founded in October 1956 to meet the growing demand of trained [[teacher]]s for [[middle school|middle]] and [[secondary school]]s. It was affiliated with the [[Panjab University, Chandigarh|Punjab University]] [[Chandigarh]], but after the reorganization of states in India and the creation of Himachal Pradesh, the college was affiliated with [[Himachal Pradesh University]] (HPU) Shimla, a co-educational institution catering to the needs of pre-service teacher-trainees only.<ref name=he>[http://www.highereducationinindia.com/institutes/govt-college-of-teacher-education-2773.php Government College of Teacher Education Dharamsala.] highereducation.com Retrieved 8 August 2012.</ref><br />
<br />
In 1962 [[National Council of Educational Research and Training]] (NCERT) New Delhi established an extension center at the Government College,<ref name=he/> to cater to the growing needs of in-service teachers in the district of [[Chamba, Himachal Pradesh|Chamba]]. The center grew to cater for the whole of [[Kangra district|Kangra]] (which included present-day [[Una District|Una]] and [[Hamirpur district, Himachal Pradesh|Hamirpur]] districts). This department disseminated information to in-service teachers in the fields of curriculum, [[educational methodology|methodology]], evaluation and other similar fields in education, to continue their professional growth.<br />
<br />
In 1994, the [[Ministry of Human Resource Development (India)|Ministry of Human Resource Development]] in New Delhi upgraded the "College of Education" to the "State College of Teacher Education".<ref name=he/> The college has blossomed into a "Center of Excellence" in teacher training programs for pre-service as well as in-service teaching. It is the only [[Government of India|government]] institution in Himachal Pradesh which supplies trained teachers to all of Himachal Pradesh, and has contributed significantly towards meeting the manpower requirement of secondary schools.<br />
