1. about the University

IntroductionThe Indira Gandhi National Open University was established by an Act of Parliament in 1985. IGNOU offers various academic programmes that lead to Certificates, Diplomas and Degrees. It develops and produces courses for delivery through open and distance education mode. IGNOU is also actively involved in research, training and extension education activities.

How IGNOU is different from other universities national and international reach need based leaner centric programmes of study flexible admission rules in terms of eligibility, choice of courses, pace and place of study diverse learner groups use of latest educational and communication technologies student support services through the network of Regional Centres and Study Centres cost-effective programmes modular nature of programmes resource sharing, collaboration and networking with other open universities multiple media instructional packages collaboration with industry/professional institutions in the development & delivery of

programmes convergence with formal higher learning institutions collaboration with community colleges

Present Status of the UniversityThe University in a relatively short time, contributed significantly to higher education, community education and continual professional development. Apart from Schools of Studies for launching various academic programmes and courses university has also established various Centres and Chairs. Some of the Centres are Extension Education, National Centre for Differently Abled, National Centre for Innovation in Distance Education, Staff Training Research Institute of Distance Education and Inter University Consortium (for technology enabled education and development). Among Chairs – Tagore Chair for Indian Literature, Raman Chair for Science Education, Chair for Industry-Academy Interfacing, Rajiv Gandhi Chair for Contemporary Studies, Chairs for Panchayati Raj, Rural Development, Sustainable Development, Dr. B.R.Ambedkar Chair for Social Change, ISRO Chair on Satellite Communication and Development.

The University offers variety of academic programmes ranging from professional, technical and vocational and continuing education covering disciplines of Management, Information and Computer Sciences. Engineering, Agriculture, Health Sciences, Pure Sciences, Education, Law, Journalism and Mass Communication, Tourism and Hospitality Service, Social Work, Vocational Education and Training, Rural Development, Women Studies, Child Care, Extension and Development, Performing and Visual Arts, Social Sciences, Humanities, Translation and Training, Foreign Languages, Inter-Disciplinary and Trans Disciplinary Studies etc.

Thus, the university appears today as a true open university with multiple mode of operations in the development and delivery of courses and programmes.

In order to offer these programmes, the University has established 59 Regional Centres, more than 2500 study centres for supporting learners from all possible strata of the society viz., rural, urban and tribal areas, physically challenged, jail inmates, women and weaker sections, personnel of armed and para military forces etc. The University established regular Regional Centes across the country with specific emphasis for North East States, recognised Regional Centers for Armed, Navy forces and Special Study Centres for disadvantaged groups and locations.

2. Research UnitThe Research Unit has been established at Indira Gandhi National Open University on October 6th, 2008. However, the unit came into existence on February’2009.Prior to that research related activities were looked after by the Academic Coordination Division of the University. The Unit has been established with the following objectives: To conduct Research Council (RC) and Research Council’s Standing Committee (RCSC) meetings

for developing policies and frameworks for conduct of research activities. To prepare agenda items on various matters pertaining to research and place the same before the

RC/RCSC for consideration and approval. To send offer letters to all approved candidates for registration for all full-time/part-time M.Phil/

Ph.D candidates and confirm their registration. To engage Research Teaching Assistants under the Research and Teaching Assistantship (RTA)

Scheme for conduct of research and teaching in different disciplines. To facilitate systemic research in the form of research projects (Minor and Major Projects). To recognise higher learning educational institutions as Recognised Research Centers of IGNOU
