New Delhi: The Indira
Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) Saturday introduced a
system by which its students can access their lectures and notes
online.
The system is called Remote Access to E-resources (RATE). It will
enable IGNOU students to access their books, journals and other
study material from anywhere.
Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways C.P. Joshi
inaugurated the RATE.
RATE has been made open to academics, faculty, regional centres,
research and teaching assistants, researchers and to on-campus
students at the initial level.
Joshi also inaugurated the new administration building and
delivered a lecture on 'Rural Empowerment and Panchayati Raj
Institutions' at the IGNOU campus here.
Explaining the role of Panchayati Raj system, the minister said,
"The Panchayati Raj institutions (PRIs) are playing an important
role in the implementation of educational projects and programmes
in rural areas. They can also play a significant role in effective
implementation of distance education programmes in rural India."
Barring a few states, in most of them PRIs are not adequately and
actively involved in development activities, he said.
It is required to accelerate the process of interaction of
citizens in general and youth and women in particular, with the
PRIs, he added.
