The Eleventh Five year Plan of the Government ofIndia is concluding this year. For the country, thisPlan has been an Education Plan considering theimportance and focus given to investment in

education at all levels, including vocational education andskill development. This four-year period of the Eleventh Planhas witnessed impressive growth, consolidation and qualityinterventions in the various teaching, research andextension activities of Indira Gandhi National OpenUniversity. The University has maintained its exactingstandards as the premier international centre for open and

distance learning and seamless provider of quality education. During these yearswe have been unwavering in our commitment to access and equity in educationalopportunities for women, members of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, therural population, remote areas, tribal regions, the differently abled and to othersocially and economically weaker sections of society.

The academic programmes have been diversified looking at the learners at thevarious levels. From 125 programmes in 2006, we have now over 500 programmes,for which the highest quality learning materials were prepared involving the bestexpertise from almost all universities and higher education institutions across thecountry. These experts, course writers and editors worked under the effective co-ordination by our full-time faculty members. We have now about 3.5 millionactive students in our roll in contrast to 1.5 million in 2007. We could also enhanceour faculty strength and the number of full-time academic consultants considerablyin these years. Over 1,500 new study centres, extending the reach to large numberof educationally backward districts and blocks in the country, were establishedduring this period; now we have about 3,200 study centres. We have more than50,000 part-time teachers working with us in our study centres as academiccounselors and co-ordinators. At the research level, we have introduced a new cadreof researchers, the Research and Teaching Assistants (RTAs). Over 100 top, brightpost-graduates are working full-time with our senior faculty members, doingresearch in their core domain subject areas and at the same time developing qualityself-learning materials for different programmes. Full-time Ph.D. research, enforcingthe highest quality parameters through effective regulations is one of the mostprominent activities of IGNOU now. We have also enhanced our full-time post-graduate teaching by making optimal use of campus facilities and also incollaboration with some very prominent teaching and research establishments inthe public and corporate sectors in the country.

The daunting challenge for us with this unprecedented scaling-up and expansion

has been in creating quality student support systems. Decentralised printing anddistribution of study materials, starting of more regional centres, decentralisedevaluation of answerscripts of the term-end examinations were the steps resortedto ensure quality along with expansion. The Student Evaluation Division (SED) ofIGNOU has created history in completing the evaluation and result declaration ofover three lakhs students who appeared for the December 2010 semesterexamination, in less than 45 days. Proactive steps by the Academic Council and theBoard of Management in promulgating an ordinance that makes it obligatory forteachers and examination administrators to declare the results and give the gradecards in 45 days were taken in the right spirit by the teaching and non-teachingcommunity of the University. They succeeded in meeting this formidable challenge.A scientifically administered Student Satisfaction Survey introduced in 2009 is nowundertaken regularly and it provides significant inputs for quality interventions bythe University at various levels. The placement support system for the students hasbeen introduced and the employment of our fresh graduates has been very muchon the rise during the last two years.

Partnering the Central and State Governments in their various developmentalschemes has been a very productive and enriching activity of IGNOU in the lastthree years. In the areas of training and retraining of school teachers, in digitalliteracy movements, in Panchayati Raj Development activities, in RuralDevelopment, in Social Justice and Empowerment , in the training of Governmentadministrative functionaries, in providing certifiable education to army, airmen andnavy in the defense sector, in all these areas IGNOU has very meaningful schemesfully supported by the Government. The Community College scheme for skilldevelopment and the Convergence scheme which permits optimal utilisation ofthe state-of-the-art facilities of the best colleges and higher education institutionsfor enhancing the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) have also come into their own andhave stabilised. Considerable progress has been achieved in infrastructuredevelopment both in the central campus in Delhi and in a number of regionalcentres in various States.

This growth story of IGNOU in the Eleventh Plan is one of social commitment withprudence. This success is attributable to the pro-active participation of the teachingand non-teaching staff and the entire academic and administrative authorities ofthe University and the Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD).Partnering the Government in various Plan schemes and aligning and streamliningteaching and training activities with national priorities delineated by the PlanningCommission in the Eleventh Plan helped the University to grow in the rightperspective. We envision such a collaborative path in approaching the 12th Planfor inclusive education, training and capacity building at all levels.

Introduction

T he Indira Gandhi National Open University(IGNOU), established by an Act ofParliament in 1985, has continuously striven

to build an inclusive knowledge society throughinclusive education. It has tried to increase theGross Enrollment Ratio (GER) by offering high-quality teaching through the Open and DistanceLearning (ODL) mode.

The University began by offering two academicprogrammes in 1987, i.e., Diploma in Managementand Diploma in Distance Education, with a strengthof 4,528 students.

Today, it serves the educational aspirations of over2.6 million students in India and 36 other countries

through 21 Schools of Studies and a network of 62regional centres, around 3,000 learner supportcentres and 67 overseas centres. The Universityoffers about 445 certificate, diploma, degree anddoctoral programmes, with a strength of nearly 420faculty members and academic staff at theheadquarters and regional centres and about36,000 academic counsellors from conventionalinstitutions of higher learning, professionalorganisations, and industry among others.

The mandate of the University is to: l provide access to higher education to all

segments of the society;l offer high-quality, innovative and need-based

programmes at different levels, to all those whorequire them;

l reach out to the disadvantaged by offeringprogrammes in all parts of the country ataffordable costs; and

l promote, coordinate and regulate the standardsof education offered through open anddistance learning in the country.

To achieve the twin objectives of widening accessfor all sections of society and providing continualprofessional development and training to allsectors of the economy, the University uses avariety of media and latest technology inimparting education. This is reflected in theformulated vision of IGNOU, keeping its objectivesin focus, which reads:

The Indira Gandhi National Open University, theNational Resource Centre for Open and DistanceLearning, with international recognition andpresence, shall provide seamless access tosustainable and learner-centric quality education,skill upgradation and training to all by usinginnovative technologies and methodologies andensuring convergence of existing systems forlarge-scale human resource development,required for promoting integrated nationaldevelopment and global understanding.

The University has made a significant mark in theareas of higher education, community educationand continual professional development. TheUniversity has been networking with reputedpublic institutions and private enterprises forenhancing the educational opportunities beingoffered by it. As a world leader in distanceeducation, it has been conferred with awards ofexcellence by the Commonwealth of Learning(COL), Canada, several times. In January 2010, itwas listed 12th in the webometric ranking ofIndian universities, based on the calibre of itspresence on the Internet.

The University is committed to quality inteaching, research, training and extensionactivities, and acts as a national resource centrefor expertise and infrastructure in the ODLsystem. The University has established the Centrefor Extension Education, National Centre forDisability Studies and National Centre for

Innovation in Distance Education, to focus onspecific learner groups and enrich the distancelearning system. The Distance Education Councilof the University helps in regulating andmaintaining the ODL system in the country.

With the launch of EduSat (a satellite dedicated onlyto education) on 20th September, 2004, and theestablishment of the Inter-University Consortium,the University has ushered in a new era oftechnology-enabled education in the country.Today, there are 134 active two-way video-conferencing centres; all the regional centres andhigh enrollment study centres have been providedwith network connectivity, which has made itpossible to transact interactive digital content.

Emphasis is now being laid on developinginteractive multimedia and online learning, andadding value to the traditional distance educationdelivery mode with modern technology-enablededucation within the framework of blendedlearning. As part of this endeavour, severalprogrammes are being offered full-time oncampus, at the headquarters, some regional centresand at other institutions of repute with whichIGNOU has agreements for this purpose.

The University also has a considerable internationalpresence, as has been said earlier. It encourages andfunds the participation of its faculty in internationalconferences and seminars, and organises severalinternational conferences too.

The Schools of Studies are the basic academicunits responsible for the conceptualisation, designand development of academic programmes.Every School of Study has a Board that overseesthe academic activities of the School. The Board ischaired by the Director of the School.

Officers of the UniversityThe Officers of the University include the ViceChancellor, the Pro-Vice Chancellors, the Directorsof Schools/Divisions/Centres/ Institutes, theRegistrars, the Finance Officer and the Librarian.The Vice Chancellor is the Chief Executive Officerof the University and is the ex-officio Chairpersonof the Board of Management, the AcademicCouncil, the Planning Board, the Research Council,the Finance Committee and the DistanceEducation Council.

Academic ProgrammesAt present, IGNOU offers around 445 speciallyneed-based academic, professional, vocational,awareness generating and skill-orientedprogrammes, leading to certificates, diplomas anddegrees (bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral). Thefocus of the programmes is to meet the variousacademic and employment needs of the people,especially those of the disadvantaged sections ofsociety.

A number of programmes have been designed tomeet the requirements of continuing educationand training of employed people for professionalgrowth. The academic programmes are designedand developed by the faculty in activecollaboration with eminent experts from all overthe country, NGOs, international organisations,and in-house instructional designers and mediaspecialists. By providing good quality studymaterials (based on sound principles ofinstructional design) to learners, the University hassucceeded in raising the standards of highereducation in the country.

The University, with its stress on being learner-centric, has introduced a number of modularprogrammes in order to provide a greater andmore flexible learning environment. All academicprogrammes have been assigned credit

weightage. In terms of study time for learners, onecredit is equivalent to 30 hours of study. In general,two-year master’s degree programmes areassigned 64-72 credits, bachelor’s degreeprogrammes are assigned 96-124 credits, one-year diploma programmes are of 24-36 creditsand six-month certificate programmes are of 12-18 credits. A policy for granting credit exemptionand credit transfer is also in place.

Being an open learning institution, IGNOUprovides considerable flexibility in entryqualifications, place, pace and the duration ofstudy. For example, a bachelor’s degreeprogramme (i.e., B.A./B.Com/B.Sc/BCA/BTS/ BSW)can be completed in a minimum of three yearsand a maximum of six years. Similarly, a diplomacan be completed within one to three or fouryears; and a master’s degree in two to five years.Learners enrolled at other universities can joinIGNOU programmes simultaneously. Additionally,the learners enrolled in degree programmes inIGNOU can pursue other certificate programmessimultaneously.

Yet another initiative is the FlexiLearn platform(www.ignouflexilearn.ac.in). This was launched on19th November, 2009 for free and easy access toopen courses of IGNOU. A major focus of IGNOUis research in all the academic disciplines as well

The admissions are done mainly at the62 regional centres of IGNOU, whose details areavailable in Appendix 3 of this Profile. Thedetailed information on admissions, andapplication forms, are also available on theUniversity website, www.ignou.ac.in.

Evaluation SystemAt IGNOU, a three-tier system of evaluation isfollowed:

l self-evaluation, through devices built into thecourse material;

l continuous evaluation, through anycombination of theory-based assignments,practical assignments, log books and contactprogrammes;

l term-end evaluation, through examinations,which are conducted at more than 600 centresall over the country and overseas twice a year,in June and December. In case of post-graduate programmes with a projectcomponent, the evaluation methodology alsoincludes a viva-voce.

Proportionate weightage is given to the variouscomponents for calculation of the final grade.Also, regarding the summative evaluation,IGNOU now offers the scheme of On-DemandExamination for a few programmes to provide anopportunity for learners to take up theexamination when they feel they are ready for it.

Learners who successfully complete theprescribed credits in a particular programme areawarded certificates/diplomas/degrees at theConvocation, which is usually held inFebruary/March of every year at the UniversityCampus, and at select regional centressimultaneously through the teleconferencingmode. Some of the overseas partner institutions

conduct degree award ceremonies separately.Gold medals are also awarded in all diploma anddegree programmes of the University during theConvocation.

Student Support Services The University has learners from a diverse rangeof social, economic and regional groups, viz.,rural, urban and tribal areas, the physically-challenged, jail inmates, personnel fromgovernment and non-government sectors,parents and home-makers, personnel of armedand paramilitary forces, the employers and theemployed. The University lays special emphasison women, minority communities, socially andeconomically disadvantaged groups, the north-east region, and other tribal and low literacy areasof the country. Special study centres have beenopened exclusively for most of these groups oflearners. The University has an extensive nationaland international network of regional centres andlearner support centres, including work centres,programme study centres and partnerinstitutions in India (under the convergencescheme), through which it reaches out to itslearners.

At these centres, learners are provided services inrespect of subject-specific academic counselling,listening/viewing of A/V programmes, libraryfacilities, teleconferencing, video conferencing,computer access, laboratory work and otherpractical work. For online programmes, theUniversity has established tele-learning centresat its regional centres.

Profile 2011 | 81

The University has established 62 regionalcentres, each with an area of jurisdiction, whichmay be an entire state or selected districts inthe same region. (See Appendix-3 for details).

Of these, 11 are recognised regional centres forthe Indian Armed Forces and Assam Rifles. Theyprovide effective network support to thepersonnel of these forces availing highereducation from IGNOU.

The learner support centres are known bydifferent names depending on the specific rolethey play, such as regular study centres,programme study centres, special studycentres, recognised study centres, tele-learningcenters, skill development centres and partnerinstitutions.

These are usually located in educationalinstitutions and are meant for IGNOU’scounselling activities on weekends. TheUniversity provides for all support services atthese centres for learners who wish to avail ofthese services, though the attendance atcounselling sessions is not mandatory exceptfor the practical component. At present, theUniversity has around 3,000 learner supportcentres including those for the Armed Forces,partner institutions and down-linking centres(The distribution of these centres is given inAppendix-3.)

For extending access to education to morepeople, IGNOU also has centres in collaborationwith various groups like Confederation of NGOsof Rural India (CNRI), Jan Shiksha Sansthan(JSS), ICFAI, etc. Further, for providing access topeople in the economically and educationallybackward blocks (EEBB), given by the SacharCommittee, IGNOU has opened special centresin some of these blocks.

Through these centres IGNOU offers thelearners a variety of vocational programmes, aswell as the Bachelor Degree programmes.

With the increase in decentralisation of

operations, the regional centres have beenentrusted with the responsibility of admissions,distribution of study material, administration ofexaminations and even processing of answerpapers to facilitate early declaration of results.

Programmes Developed by RCsSeveral regional centres have taken theinitiative of developing need-basedprogrammes with the schools concerned. Forinstance, the Regional Centre, Kolkata, haslaunched Integrated Pest ManagementTechnology in Potato Cultivation, and theRegional Centre, Madurai, has launched MBA(Textile Management) and CertificateProgrammes in Apparel Marketing andMerchandising as well as Apparel Productionand Quality Management.

Several regional centres offer need-based,short-term training programmes. For instance,RC, Cochin, in collaboration with the Institutefor Competency Advancement of Teachers (i-CAT), offered programmes for teachers.

RC Delhi-1 offered programmes in areas suchas Communication Skills, Retail Marketing, DTP,Garment Stitching, Business Entrepreneurship,IT Services and Security Services incollaboration with Alliance Educare, SSCI andOBS, Gurgaon.

Some academic programmes have also beentranslated by the regional centres into otherIndian languages for the benefit of learners oftheir regions. For example, the AwarenessPackage on Disability has been translated intoTamil and the Certificate in Organic Farminghas been translated into Punjabi.

Some regional centres have taken significantinitiatives for the benefit of learners in theirregions. For instance, Jaipur and KolkataRegional Centres have got sponsorship fromtheir respective State Governments for learnerstaking up programmes in Computers andConsumer Affairs, respectively.
