- One of the challenges posed by globalization is the entry of Foreign Universities into India with highly attractive course modules in the Distance learning mode. Distance Education has therefore become very convenient, economic and cost-effective for the common man. The University proposes to strengthen the Directorate of Distance Education as a model institution to attract large number of students into its fold. The DDE in course of time will emerge as a nodal center for the promotion of education besides meeting the financial needs of the University for its further development.
