The Indian Institute of Education (IIE) is both a nationally and internationally acclaimed research institute supported by the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR), MHRD, New Delhi and the Government of Maharashtra. Prior to this in 1976, the Government of India launched the National Adult Education Programme (NAEP) which included establishment of State Resource Centre for Non-formal Education for preparation of materials for literacy, advocacy, and organizing training of adult-education workers.
Jan Shikshan Sanstha (earlier known as Shramik Vidyapeeth) are two such Institutes that were groomed initially by Indian Institute of Education and subsequently progressed as independent institute. Many more alternative models have been developed by the Indian Institute of Education and have been put into practice in the following four extension centres, viz., Vigyan Ashram, Pabal; Centre for Education and Development of Rural Women, Shivapur; G.D. Parikh Centre, Mumbai and J. P. Naik Centre for Education and Development, Pune.
