SRINAGAR: Open learning system has potential to impart education globally and reach out to hitherto uncovered segments of Indian population in remote and far off areas, Jammu and Kashmir Governor S K Sinha said on Sunday.
Meeting the challenge of reaching millions of un-reached people in the country with an effective multi-media package, the system of distance education could be the chosen mode for such programmes of education and training, Sinha said inaugurating three-day national level workshop on open distance learning here.
The workshop was jointly organised by the distance education department of Kashmir University and Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) at Gandhi Bhavan of Kashmir University.
He exuded confidence that given the expertise in this field, India will emerge as one of world leaders in the years to come.
By the end of this century, it can even assume inter-planetary dimensions, Sinha added
