IGNOU has more 7,50,000 students with extremely varied profiles, spread throughout the length and breadth of the country. The University has an efficient and effective networking of 46 Regional Centres (5 of which are Army Command Centres, 8 are IAF Command Centres and 4 Navy Command Centres) and over 630 Study Centres, all over India . As an Open University, IGNOU has come a long way since 1985, having crossed national boundaries providing higher education as well as assisting other developing countries in this regard.

Indira Gandhi National Open University, the National Resource Centre for Open and Distance Learning with international recognition and presence, shall provide seamless access to sustainable and learner-centric quality education, skill up gradation and training to all by using innovative technologies and methodologies and ensuring convergence of existing systems for massive human resource required for promoting integrated national development and global understanding.

In the last sixteen years, IGNOU, with high quality self-learning materials and offerings of innovative programmes in diverse areas, has established itself as a national resource centre and provider of quality education at par with other national and international institutions of higher learning. The University will have to make focussed efforts to sustain this hard-earned credibility by continuously improving the quality of learning materials, student support services, system of assessment and professional development of academic and non-academic staff. TQM will remain the highest priority in all areas of operation of the University along with encouraging SOUs, CCIs, and other providers of distance learning to adopt a holistic management strategy

The demand for higher education in the country has grown enormously. The growth of enrolment in conventional universities has been 5% in the 9th Five Year Plan. Moreover, the higher education system caters only to about 9 million learners, which constitute about 7.5% of the eligible group (between 17-23 years). The share of ODL system in this is about 20%. The Government of India has, in the Tenth Five Year Plan (2002-2007), mandated an annual growth rate of 30% for the ODL system so that its share increases to about 40% in the overall enrolment. This is a gigantic task, with system-wide implications.

To maintain high academic standards and to compete in the fast-changing global environment of educational services, no institution can continue to be relevant without offering new programmes. This necessitates recruitment of expertise on a regular basis. A dynamic system like IGNOU needs dedicated staff with vast experience, expertise and capability to research in newer areas (including that of ODL) and constantly keep its academic offerings at the cutting edge of quality and societal needs. The University would like to strengthen the existing faculty, attract new talent, and nurture them through better human resource development policies.

IGNOU at present offers programmes in about 30 established disciplines and a few inter-disciplinary areas. There is a growing realisation that newer and diverse programmes must be added, without compromising with the needs of the traditional disciplines. Since IGNOU has established its presence in the international arena, its programmes must incorporate international perspectives, and respond to contemporary issues. We need to develop and offer Programmes in Agriculture and Law and courses in Bio-technology, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), Telecommunications, Conflict Resolution and Peace, Bio-informatics, Population Studies, e-Commerce

Research, both systemic and discipline based, is crucial for the growth and academic credibility of any system. For the growth of faculty, creation of new knowledge and its dissemination are a must. Research in the areas of course development, media-mix, teaching-learning methods, student learning, learner support, programme evaluation, assessment systems, and learner retentivity and success shall be high priority areas

It is well known that Governments (Central and State) have been major sources of funding, particularly in the higher education sector, largely due to the conviction that education is a social obligation, and an essential vehicle for individual empowerment and national development. However, the on-set of the twin phenomena of globalisation and liberalisation has led the funding agencies to encourage educational institutions to generate resources and offer self-supporting programmes. That is to say, resource mobilisation is the responsibility of the Universities as well. IGNOU has witnessed a continuous decline in non-plan funding, this is bound to generate pressure on the financial health of the University. There is therefore an immediate need to evolve newer strategies for mobilising resources so that the University can continue to work for its mandated objectives without hindrance. Maximising non-monetary inputs, bringing cost-effectiveness in operations, and economy in spending shall be the guiding principles

For Management Programmes admission announcements are issued twice a year March/April and September/October. Entrance Tests are held twice a year on the first Sunday of February and on the first Sunday of August.

IGNOU, with its diverse programmes, low cost and a wide network, has succeeded in attracting a significant group of learners from amongst the disadvantaged. However, a significant cross-section of people still remains outside its reach. The University is mandated to reach them. Specific efforts shall be made for providing access to education and equity in opportunities to women, SC/STs, people living in rural areas, geographically remote terrains and tribal regions, differently-abled, and socially and economically weaker sections of society. Gifted students need special attention and shall form a focussed target group. Building greater flexibility in the system shall help it widen its access.

Providing effective student support services is crucial for learner satisfaction and their success. The University, convinced of this, has succeeded in creating a wide network of Regional Centres (RCs) and Study Centres (SCs) across the length and breadth of the country. There is, however, a need to gear up student support services further and render it more effective. It has become particularly important now because of the growing local, regional and international competition faced by the University in the context of WTO and GATS.

Extension has always been recognised as the third important dimension of higher education. It involves taking knowledge and its applications to the community. The thrust of the University would be to generate a literacy movement (including information technology literacy) by involving all sections of society and training the workforce to meet the challenges of the emerging professional and social needs. Extension programmes which promote local integrated development and create self-employment for poorer people and those living in rural and backward areas will be focussed on.

It is now recognised that ICT can provide convenient and effective tools to meet the emerging needs of diversified groups. IGNOU is running a 24-hour educational TV channel Gyan Darshan and a radio-cooperative Gyan Vani. There is provision of two-way tele-conferencing, interactive radio counselling, and local FM radio. The Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD), Government of India (GOI) has identified IGNOU as the nodal agency for collaborating with and developing capacities in SOUs, CCIs as well as other conventional universities/educational institutions for application of multiple electronic media. The University shall strive to develop a national network using emerging technologies, to meet the challenges of access and equity. The thrust shall be towards strengthening on-line delivery of education, establishment of community-based multi-purpose tele-learning centres for ICT-enabled education, training and development.

As of now, the overseas presence of the University is mainly confined to some regions of Asia and a few countries of Africa. For historical, cultural and economic reasons, it is possible to extend the reach of our programmes much beyond. Moreover, to reach the Indian diaspora, who would be interested in continuing cultural contact with India, IGNOU intends to target the requirements of this group. The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) region and large parts of Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the South Pacific Region could be potential catchment areas. This shall necessitate internationalisation of the curriculum and greater use of ICT.

At present, the time from conceptualisation of a major programme and offering it, on an average, is 4-5 years. With the lowering of knowledge doubling time, the rate of obsolescence of knowledge is very high and it is possible that for a degree programme, our learners may get dated knowledge while still pursuing the course. To build dynamism in the system and respond to the changing environment, programme development time must be substantially curtailed. The University would like to reduce response time in activities such as student registration, material despatch, continuous as well as term-end evaluation, etc.
