Education at your doorstep
With an aim to provide ¬opportunities for higher education to those who are not able to benefit from a formal system of education, Jamia Millia Islamia started the Centre for Distance and Open Learning in September 2002. “In a country like India, access to good-quality higher ¬education is not ¬available to everybody. There are -various constraints such as cost and distance. Even if some ¬students have these means, they are unable to get ¬admissions due to high cut-offs and limited seats. Everybody cannot get 100%, so does that mean ¬education should be denied to them? No. This is where distance learning comes in and ¬provides the right to education to everybody,” says Mirza Tariq Beg, director, Centre for Distance and Open Learning.
