PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS OF DISTANCE EDUCATION

Education, a life-long process, does not stop at any age. The conventional system of education was proved to accommodate the growing needs of the Indian Society. Hence the system of distance education has emerged as an alternate to the conventional system of education. It caters to the need of those who cannot pursue formal college education and wish to improve their knowledge and skills in humanities, social sciences, physical and natural sciences and professional/technical disciplines in Post-Graduate and Under-Graduate, Diploma and certificate courses.
