1. 1.1

THE UNIVERSITY Introduction

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), was established by an Act of Parliament in 1985, with the following mandate:

•

to provide access to higher education to all segments of the society;

•

to offer high quality, innovative and need-based programmes at different levels, to all those who require them;

•

to reach out to the disadvantaged by offering programmes in all parts of the country at affordable costs; and

•

to promote, coordinate and regulate the standards of education offered through open and distance learning in the country.

The University began by offering two academic programmes in 1987, i.e., Diploma in Management and Diploma in Distance Education with a strength of 4528 candidates. Today, it serves the educational aspirations of more than 2.0 million candidates in India and abroad through the twenty-one Schools of Study/Institutes/Centres and with a network of 62 Regional Centres, more than 2300 Study Centres within India and around 53 Partner Institutions in 33 countries outside India. The University offers a wide variety of courses programmes in various fields/disciplines in the form of Certificate, Diploma, Degree and Doctoral programmes comprising more than 1300 courses with the of the faculty and academic staff at the Headquarters and Regional Centres. The University utilizes services of a large number of Academic Counsellors (Faculty) from conventional institutions of higher learning and professionals from various organizations. To achieve the objectives of widening access to all sections of society and to provide continual professional development and training in all sectors of the economy, the University, uses multiple media and latest technology in imparting education. IGNOU has reformulated its vision keeping its objectives in focus. Today, the Vision reads. “Indira Gandhi National Open University, the National Resource Centre for Open and Distance Learning with international recognition and presence, shall provide seamless access to sustainable and learner-centric quality education, skill upgradation and training to all by using innovative technologies and methodologies and ensuring convergence of existing systems for massive human resource required for promoting integrated national development and global understanding”. The University has, in a relatively short time, contributed significantly to higher education, community education and continual professional development. As a world leader in distance education, it was conferred the Centre of Excellence Award in Distance Education in 1993 and the Award of Excellence for Distance Education Materials in 1999 by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), Canada. The University is committed to quality in teaching, research, training and extension activities, and acts as a national resource centre for expertise and infrastructure in the ODL system. The University has also established a Staff Training and Research Institute in Distance Education (STRIDE), Centre for

7

Extension Education, National Centre for Differently Abled and National Centre for Innovation in Distance Education, to focus on specific learner groups and enrich the distance learning system. The Distance Education Council of the University which is also an Apex Body for Open and Distance Learning System helps in regulating and maintaining the ODL system in the country. With the launch of Edusat (a satellite dedicated only to education) on 20th September, 2004, and the establishment of the Inter-University Consortium, the University has ushered in a new era of technology-enabled education in the country. Besides print and face to face , it also uses electronic media for imparting education in a big way. Today, it has large number of Teleconferencing Centres at all Regional Centres, and a few Study Centres across all Regional Centres enabling the University to transact interactive digital content. Emphasis is now being laid on developing interactive multimedia and online learning, and adding value to the traditional distance education delivery mode with modern technology-enabled education within the framework of blended learning.

1.5

Programme/Course Development

Learning material is specially prepared by teams of experts drawn from different Universities and specialized institutions in the area spread through out the country as well as in-house faculty. This material is scrutinized by the content experts, supervised by the instruction/unit designers and edited by the language experts at IGNOU before they are finally sent for printing. Similarly, audio and video cassettes are produced in consultation with the course writers, in-house faculty and producers. The material is previewed and reviewed by the faculty as well as outside experts and edited/modified, wherever necessary, before they are finally dispatched to the Study Centres and telecast through Gyan Darshan, which is available through the Internet and on Direct to Home (DTH). The entire course ware (self learning material) of all courses has been placed on the e-gyankosh of the university (http://www.egyankosh.ac.in/) for candidates faculty, professionals and others interested. The University follows the ‘Credit System’ for most of its programmes. Each credit is equivalent to 30 hours of candidate study comprising all learning activities (i.e., reading and comprehending the print material, listening to audio, watching video, attending counselling sessions, teleconference, on-line , and writing assignment responses). Thus, a 4 credit course involves 120 hours of study and an 8 credit course involves 240 study hours. This helps the learner to know the academic effort he/she has to put in, to successfully complete a course. Completion of an academic programme (Degree or Diploma) requires successful completion of the assignments, workshops, seminars, practical, projects and the termed examination of each course in a programme.

These universities are, therefore, empowered to award degrees in of Section 22(I) of the UGC Act, 1956. A circular was earlier issued vide UGC letter N.

Attention is further invited to UGC circular No. F.1-25/93(P-II) dated 28th July, 1993 (copy enclosed) for recognition of degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully completed by candidates between the two types of Universities so that the mobility of candidates from Open University stream to traditional Universities is ensured without any difficulty.

The Registrar(s) Member Universities Subject: Recognition of Degrees/Diplomas of Open Universities Dear Sir, The Standing Committee at its 237th meeting held at Utkal University and the 68th Annual Session of the AIU and in December, 1993 at the University of Delhi have decided in principle that the Degrees of the Open Universities be recognized in of the following resolutions: “Resolved that the examinations of one university should be recognized by another on a reciprocal basis, provided that the entrance qualification, duration of course and the general standard of attainment are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university”. “Further resolved that in case of Degrees awarded by Open Universities, the conditions regarding entrance qualifications and duration of the course be relaxed provided that the general standard of attainment are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university”. The decision is brought to the notice of the Universities for favour of appropriate action in the matter. The additional information, if required in this behalf, may kindly be obtained from the Registrars of the Universities directly. Thanking you, Yours faithfully, Sd/(K.C. KALRA) t Secretary

No. F.1-25/03(P-II) 28 July, 1993 Dear Vice Chancellor, As you are aware, the Open Universities have been established in the country by an Act of Parliament or State Legislature in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 2(f) of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. These universities are, therefore, empowered to award degrees in of Section 22(I) of the UGC Act, 1956. It has been brought to the notice of the Commission that the candidates who have done their M.A. from open universities are debarred by universities from registration for Ph.D. studies. This is most unfair in view of the importance attached to the Open University and distance learning in National Policy on Education, 1986. The Programme of Action-02 also aims at promoting the mobility of candidates among open universities and among traditional universities. This can be made possible only when there is a workable understanding between open universities and traditional universities for recognition of each other’s degrees on reciprocal basis. A Memorandum of Understanding has already been signed between University of Pondicherry and Indira Gandhi National Open University which provides for recognition of each other’s degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credits for courses successfully completed by candidates between the two universities. The other universities may also make similar arrangements so that the mobility of candidates from Open University stream to traditional universities is ensured without any difficulty. I hope that your university will make necessary efforts in this direction and let the Commission know the progress. With regards, Yours sincerely, Sd/(R.P. Gangurde) To All the VCs as per List attached and
