DESCRIPTION
TRANSCRIPT
1.1 Introduction
The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), established by an Act of Parliament in 1985, with the following mandate:
to provide access to higher education to all segments of the society;
to offer high quality, innovative and need-based programmes at different levels, to all those who require them;
to reach out to the disadvantaged by offering programmes in all parts of the country at affordable costs; and
to promote, coordinate and regulate the standards of education offered through open and distance learning in the country.
The University began by offering two academic programmes in 1987, i.e., Diploma in Management and Diploma in Distance Education with a strength of 4528 students. Today, it serves the educational aspirations of more than 2.0 million students in India and abroad through the twenty-one Schools of Study/Institutes/Centres and with a network of 62 Regional Centres, more than 2300 Study Centres within India and around 53 Partner Institutions in 33 countries outside India. The University offers a wide variety of courses programmes in various fields/disciplines in the form of Certificate, Diploma, Degree and Doctoral programmes comprising more than 1300 courses with the support of the faculty members and academic staff at the Headquarters and Regional Centres. The University utilizes services of a large number of Academic Counsellors (Faculty) from conventional institutions of higher learning and professionals from various organizations. Today, the University has emerged as the largest Mega University in the World.
To achieve the objectives of widening access to all sections of society and to provide continual professional development and training in all sectors of the economy, the University, uses multiple media and latest technology in imparting education. IGNOU has reformulated its vision keeping its objectives in focus. Today, the Vision reads. “Indira Gandhi National Open University, the National Resource Centre for Open and Distance Learning with international recognition and presence, shall provide seamless access to sustainable and learner-centric quality education, skill upgradation and training to all by using innovative technologies and methodologies and ensuring convergence of existing systems for massive human resource required for promoting integrated national development and global understanding”.
The University has, in a relatively short time, contributed significantly to higher education, community education and continual professional development. As a world leader in distance education, it was conferred the Centre of Excellence Award in Distance Education in 1993 and the Award of Excellence for Distance Education Materials in 1999 by the Commonwealth of Learning (COL), Canada. The University is committed to quality in teaching, research, training and extension activities, and acts as a national resource centre for expertise and infrastructure in the ODL system. The University has also established a Staff Training and Research Institute in Distance Education (STRIDE), Centre for Extension Education, National Centre for Differently Abled and National Centre for Innovation in Distance Education, to focus on specific learner groups and enrich the distance learning system. The Distance Education Council of the University which is also an Apex Body for Open and Distance Learning System helps in regulating and maintaining the ODL system in the country. With the launch of Edusat (a satellite dedicated only to education) on 20 th September, 2004, and the establishment of the Inter-University Consortium, the University has ushered in a new era of technology-enabled education in the country. Besides print and face to face contact, it also uses electronic media for imparting education in a big way. Today, it has large number of Teleconferencing Centres at all Regional Centres,

Other Units/Centres of the University.
The University offers a wide range of academic programmes both short-term and long-term, credit and non-credit programmes leading to Certificate, Diploma, Undergraduate Degree, Postgraduate Degree and Doctoral Degrees which are conventional as well as innovative. Most of these programmes have been developed after an initial survey of the demand for such programmes. They are launched with a view to fulfill the learner’s needs for:
verification,
improvement of skills,
acquisition of professional qualifications,
continuing education and professional development at work place,
self-enrichment,
diversification and updation of knowledge, and
empowerment.
3
The focus of the programmes are to meet various academic and employment needs of the people, especially those of the disadvantaged sections of society. A number of programmes have been designed to meet the requirements of continuing education and training of employed people for professional growth. The University has introduced a number of modular programmes in order to provide a greater and more flexible learning environment.
1.5 Course Development
Learning material is specially prepared by teams of experts drawn from different Universities and specialized institutions in the area spread through out the country as well as in-house faculty. This material is scrutinized by the content experts, supervised by the instruction/unit designers and edited by the language experts at IGNOU before they are finally sent for printing. Similarly, audio and video cassettes are produced in consultation with the course writers, in-house faculty and producers. The material is previewed and reviewed by the faculty as well as outside experts and edited/modified, wherever necessary, before they are finally dispatched to the Study Centres and telecast through Gyan Darshan.
The University follows the ‘Credit System’ for most of its programmes. Each credit is equivalent to 30 hours of student study comprising all learning activities (i.e., reading and comprehending the print material, listening to audio, watching video, attending counselling sessions, teleconference and writing assignment responses). Thus, a 4 credit course involves 120 hours of study and an 8 credit course involves 240 study hours. This helps the learner to know the academic effort he/she has to put in, to successfully complete a course. Completion of an academic programme (Degree or Diploma) requires successful completion of the assignments, workshops, seminars, practical, projects and the termed examination of each course in a programme.

1.6 Instructional System and Programme Delivery
The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that of the conventional universities. The Open University system is more learner-oriented and the learner is an active participant in the pedagogical (teaching and learning) process. Most of the instruction are imparted through distance education methodology rather than face-to-face communication using multiple media for instruction viz; self instructional print material, audio-visual material aids, counseling sessions, practicals, seminars, workshops, field work, project work, etc. Further, the university utilizes electronic media in a big way for imparting education and training through its Electronic Media and Production Centre which is established specially for this purpose. Teleconferencing with its vast network of downlink facilities (one-way video and two-way audio), interactive satellite based education (Edusat), (two-way audio and video), Gyan Darshan (Television) Educational Channels with DTH facility; Gyan Vani FM Radio Channels and Interactive Radio-Counseling through FM channels.
In order to provide individualized support to its learners, the University has established large number of Study Centres throughout the country. These Study Centres are co-ordinated by the Regional Centres and Recognized Regional Centres (in case of Defence Personnel). The list of Regional Centres is given in the prospectus for information. At the Study Centres, the learners interact with the Academic Counselors and other learners, refer to books in the library, watch/listen to video/audio programmes and interact with the Coordinator and Academic Counselors on administrative and academic matters. Support services are also provided through the Work Centres, Programme study Centres, Skill Development Centres and Special Study Centres established in the educational institutions, professional organizations and other places of relevance depending upon the nature and requirement of the programme. Wherever training is required, special centers for specific purposes have also been established (depending upon the nature and requirement of the programme) in collaboration with the industry and or with specialized training professional organizations/centres.

Sub: RECOGNITION OF DEGREES AWARDED BY OPEN UNIVERSITIES
Sir/Madam
There are a number of Open Universities in the country offering various degrees/diploma through the mode of non-formal education. The Open Universities have been established in the country by an Act of Parliament or State Legislature in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 2(f) of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. These universities are, therefore, empowered to award degrees in terms of Section 22(I) of the UGC Act, 1956.
A circular was earlier issued vide UGC letter N. F.1-8/92(CPP) dated February, 1992 mentioning that the Certificate, Diplomas and Degrees awarded by Indira Gandhi National Open University are to be treated equivalent to the corresponding awards of the Universities in the country.
Attention is further invited to UGC circular No. F.1-25/93(CPP-II) dated 28th July, 1993 (copy enclosed) for recognition of degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credit for courses successfully completed by students between the two types of Universities so that the mobility of students from Open University stream to traditional Universities is ensured without any difficulty.
The UGC has specified the nomenclature of degrees under Section 22(3) of the UGC Act, 1956 to ensure mandatory requirements viz. minimum essential academic inputs required for awarding such degrees. A copy of Gazette Notification regarding specification of degrees issued vide No. 1-52/97(CPP-II) dated 31st January, 2004 is enclosed. The details are also given in UGC website: www.ugc.ac.in
May, I therefore request you to treat the Degrees/Diploma/Certificates awarded by the Open universities in conformity with the UGC notification on Specification of Degrees as equivalent to the corresponding awards of the traditional Universities in the country.
Yours faithfully,

Subject: Recognition of Degrees/Diplomas of Open Universities
Dear Sir,
The Standing Committee at its 237th meeting held at Utkal University and the 68 th Annual Session of the AIU and in December, 1993 at the University of Delhi have decided in principle that the Degrees of the Open Universities be recognized in terms of the following resolutions:
“Resolved that the examinations of one university should be recognized by another on a reciprocal basis, provided that the entrance qualification, duration of course and the general standard of attainment are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university”.
“Further resolved that in case of Degrees awarded by Open Universities, the conditions regarding entrance qualifications and duration of the course be relaxed provided that the general standard of attainment are similar to those prescribed by the recognized university”.
The decision is brought to the notice of the Universities for favour of appropriate action in the matter. The additional information, if required in this behalf, may kindly be obtained from the Registrars of the Universities directly.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,

D.O. No. F.1-25/03(CPP-II) 28 July, 1993
Dear Vice Chancellor,
As you are aware, the Open Universities have been established in the country by an Act of Parliament or State Legislature in accordance with the provisions contained in Section 2(f) of University Grants Commission Act, 1956. These universities are, therefore, empowered to award degrees in terms of Section 22(I) of the UGC Act, 1956.
It has been brought to the notice of the Commission that the students who have done their M.A. from open universities are debarred by universities from registration for Ph.D. studies. This is most unfair in view of the importance attached to the Open University and distance learning in National Policy on Education, 1986. The Programme of Action-02 also aims at promoting the mobility of students among open universities and among traditional universities. This can be made possible only when there is a workable understanding between open universities and traditional universities for recognition of each other’s degrees on reciprocal basis. A Memorandum of Understanding has already been signed between University of Pondicherry and Indira Gandhi National Open University which provides for recognition of each other’s degrees and diplomas as well as transfer of credits for courses successfully completed by students between the two universities. The other universities may also make similar arrangements so that the mobility of students from Open University stream to traditional universities is ensured without any difficulty.
I hope that your university will make necessary efforts in this direction and let the Commission know the progress.
With regards,
Yours sincerely,
