From The President’s Desk

Padma Bhushan Dr. S. B. MujumdarPresident and Founder, Symbiosis

Chancellor, Symbiosis International University

Distance learning is the education of the 21st century. The

traditional method of teaching in a classroom, called brick

and mortar education, has failed to reach millions of those

who are thirsty for getting knowledge, in an age marked by

Knowledge Revolution. Distance education and open

learning fulfill this need.

Symbiosis, which is always on the vanguard of making bold

innovations, has established Symbiosis Centre for Distance

Learning (SCDL) to offer different academic programs

through distance education. The Symbiosis Centre for

Distance Learning (SCDL) is a centre of excellence offering

quality distance education. I am sure those who aspire to

acquire education at a time and place of their choice will be

immensely benefited and will be qualified to fill posts of

their choice with credit and confidence. I wish the Centre

success.

Dr. S. B. Mujumdar was conferred Padma Bhushan in

2012 and Padma Shree in 2005 in recognition for hissignificant contribution to the field of Education.
