New Delhi: A new and
improved website of the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU),
with easy access to regional centres, was inaugurated here
Thursday.
Developed jointly by IANS and the varsity's computer division, the
inauguration was done by Vice Chancellor M. Aslam after unfurling
the tricolour at the campus on Republic Day.
The website has a better look, easier accessibility and more
user-friendly.
"The sites have a unified structure and common format unlike
earlier when the regional centre websites were having different
formats," said Aslam.
The vice chancellor further said that all regional centres of
IGNOU would soon have their own buildings.
"The university is planning to a 24-hour mini hospital with
facilities like ENT, dental and cardiac treatment. We will soon
have regular medical check-up of all employees to keep them
healthy," said Aslam.
IGNOU has a presence in 43 countries. The Universities of Berkley
and Maryland in the US have shown interest in faculty exchange
with IGNOU.
IGNOU, which started with two courses and 4,000 students in 1985,
has evolved into one of the world's largest varsities by offering
about 450 programmes. It now has over three million students on
its rolls.
