In 1994, the Ministry of Human Resource Development in New Delhi upgraded the "College of Education" to the "State College of Teacher Education". 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 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.
