Honorable President Pranab Mukherjee on 9 July said about the spreading of technology, telecom, and the internet increase an opportunity to bridge the divide in terms of access and quality of education. He told that we have to reach those persons who are not able to present physically in classrooms. For that “we should seize this opportunity with both our hands”. He also said that – “The digital modes are cheaper, more easily accessible, interactive, and offer flexibility for people to learn at their own pace. We need to work together to ensure that they are widely adopted for teaching,”
You are also eligible to do any further courses from an open university. Like Netaji Subhas Open University and Indira Gandhi National Open University, it also provides distance education on some courses.
