The Open-Distance-Learning (ODL) system is a unique and challenging mode of education offered at the University level.

It is perhaps the only system that has been planned in such a way that it is able to cater to all those who desire to seek Higher Education in spite of the fact that they are in a disadvantageous position due to social, economic, spatial and such other reasons.
