Welcome!!!!
The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), established by an Act of
Parliament in 1985, has continuously striven to build an inclusive knowledge
society through inclusive education. It has tried to increase the Gross
Enrollment Ratio (GER) by offering high-quality teaching through the Open and
Distance Learning (ODL) mode. The University began by offering two academic
programmes in 1987, i.e., Diploma in Management and Diploma in Distance
Education, with a strength of 4,528 students. Today, it serves the educational
aspirations of over 4 million students in India and 36 other countries through
21 Schools of Studies and a network of 67 regional centres, around 3,000 learner
support centres and 67 overseas centres. The University offers about 490
certificate, diploma, degree and doctoral programmes, with a strength of nearly
420 faculty members and academic staff at the headquarters and regional centres
and about 36,000 academic counsellors from conventional institutions of higher
learning, professional organisations, and industry among others.
