Present Scenario of Distance Education

In India IGNOU was the first University to promote correspondence courses and set the trend of Distance Education where as many other Universities started these programs as horizon expanding and resource generating exercise. Unfortunately, due to lack of guidelines and facilitation from the government, haphazard expansion has been observed. Many of them have done a remarkable job in terms of deliverables but still there are miles to go. Ultimately a statuary body established under the IGNOU, called DEC (Distance Education Council) took some initiatives in developing the required norms and guidelines.

Thus DEC, Distance Education Council has framed guidelines, rules and regulations for a University to offer any course under its distance education program. This will help to control the mushrooming of such programs and will make all to adhere to stringent norms.

Earlier, the only available mode of regular education used to deprive the working class, professionals, businessmen, housewives, students of weaker sections of the Society. As per the data it is evident that a major section of our society does no enter the higher education because these students have to be breadwinners for their families. There is high level of awareness and desire among the masses to improve the standards and levels of higher education. Higher education is not only now for a limited category but is becoming mandatory to improve upon your social standing, basic qualification levels, and matrimonial qualifications and to enhance your job profile and its opportunities.

Since distance is no longer an impediment to pursue a course and complete them as most universities have study and examination centers in many cities, the interest in Distance Education is growing very rapidly in India and is expected to double up in the next decade.
