Dear Prospective Students,
We are very much pleased in greeting all of you for a happy and successful academic life through the online education of The Global Open University. Besides welcoming you personally we wish to assure you of our fullest cooperation for offering different courses of study through the online education mode of The Open University.

The Global Open University has initiated various steps for improving the quality of education and the methodology of imparting need based open distance, online and virtual education for catering to the growing needs of the twenty first century and the third millennium.

Online education mode is one of the most effective modes of imparting instruction to the students both in the developing as well as in the developed countries of the world. It is in this context that The Global Open University has introduced Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral Degree Programmes through online education for the first time in India with a view to enabling all those who are not able to attend the regular class rooms for acquiring higher as well as additional qualification.

The details of different vocational and job oriented courses are given in the following pages for the benefit of the students interested in acquiring necessary skills to become employable in the long run. The idea behind offering these employment centric programmes is to also stress on self-employment so that our country may have more number of job givers rather than job seekers by acquiring entrepreneurial leadership as well as managerial competence.

May we accordingly expect all prospective students and participants to throw themselves into a new setting as well as a new environment of online education with full of zeal and enthusiasm by acquiring the much needed knowledge so that the Indian citizenry could use their Knowledge to the fullest extent of their ablities.
