dated Guwahati the 20th January, 2003. One block has been used as the office and classrooms and the
other one as the hostel for trainees. As the present AT building under the occupation of DIET was
constructed in 1957, it needs a major repairing and renovation works with development of
adequate infrastructural and other facilities. The present DIET campus is located at a plot of land

be
treated as DIET complex for future construction of infrastructural and civil works for the DIET.
