New Delhi: A group of
37 students from 11 countries visited the Indira Gandhi National
Open University (IGNOU) to acquaint themselves with the education
system here, officials said Friday.
Wards of non-resident Indians, the group visited the varsity under
the "Know India Programme" by the Ministry of Overseas Indian
Affairs (MOIA).
"These youth are the children of Indians settled abroad and are
visiting different educational institutions in India. The basic
idea is to expose them to diversity of our country," said under
secretary, MOIA, M.K. Pandey.
According to an IGNOU official, the group showed a lot of interest
in the programmes offered by the varsity and also had an
interactive session with the Vice Chancellor, M. Aslam.
"They were particularly interested to know about the prospects of
placement, admission procedure and academic programmes being
offered by IGNOU internationally," said Aslam.
"We are operating in 43 countries across the world through 82
partner institutions and student strength of 44,000. IGNOU will
reach learners wherever they are and this is what we call
'Education at your Doorstep'," added Aslam.
