Foreword The Eeventh Five year Pan of the Government of India is concuding this year. For the country, this Pan has been an Education Pan considering the importance and focus given to investment in education at a eves, incuding vocationa education and ski deveopment. This four-year period of the Eeventh Pan has witnessed impressive growth, consoidation and quaity interventions in the various teaching, research and extension activities of Indira Gandhi Nationa Open University. The University has maintained its exacting standards as the premier internationa centre for open and distance earning and seamess provider of quaity education. During these years we have been unwavering in our commitment to access and equity in educationa opportunities for women, members of Schedued Castes and Schedued Tribes, the rura popuation, remote areas, triba regions, the differenty abed and to other sociay and economicay weaker sections of society. The academic programmes have been diversified ooking at the earners at the various eves. From 125 programmes in 2006, we have now over 500 programmes, for which the highest quaity earning materias were prepared invoving the best expertise from amost a universities and higher education institutions across the country. These experts, course writers and editors worked under the effective co-ordination by our fu-time facuty members. We have now about 3.5 miion active students in our ro in contrast to 1.5 miion in 2007. We coud aso enhance our facuty strength and the number of fu-time academic consutants consideraby in these years. Over 1,500 new study centres, extending the reach to arge number of educationay backward districts and bocks in the country, were estabished during this period; now we have about 3,200 study centres. We have more than 50,000 part-time teachers working with us in our study centres as academic counseors and co-ordinators. At the research eve, we have introduced a new cadre of researchers, the Research and Teaching Assistants (RTAs). Over 100 top, bright post-graduates are working fu-time with our senior facuty members, doing research in their core domain subject areas and at the same time deveoping quaity sef-earning materias for different programmes. Fu-time Ph.D. research, enforcing the highest quaity parameters through effective reguations is one of the most prominent activities of IGNOU now. We have aso enhanced our fu-time postgraduate teaching by making optima use of campus faciities and aso in coaboration with some very prominent teaching and research estabishments in the pubic and corporate sectors in the country. The daunting chaenge for us with this unprecedented scaing-up and expansion 4 Profie 2011

has been in creating quaity student support systems. Decentraised printing and distribution of study materias, starting of more regiona centres, decentraised evauation of answerscripts of the term-end examinations were the steps resorted to ensure quaity aong with expansion. The Student Evauation Division (SED) of IGNOU has created history in competing the evauation and resut decaration of over three akhs students who appeared for the December 2010 semester examination, in ess than 45 days. Proactive steps by the Academic Counci and the Board of Management in promugating an ordinance that makes it obigatory for teachers and examination administrators to decare the resuts and give the grade cards in 45 days were taken in the right spirit by the teaching and non-teaching community of the University. They succeeded in meeting this formidabe chaenge. A scientificay administered Student Satisfaction Survey introduced in 2009 is now undertaken reguary and it provides significant inputs for quaity interventions by the University at various eves. The pacement support system for the students has been introduced and the empoyment of our fresh graduates has been very much on the rise during the ast two years. Partnering the Centra and State Governments in their various deveopmenta schemes has been a very productive and enriching activity of IGNOU in the ast three years. In the areas of training and retraining of schoo teachers, in digita iteracy movements, in Panchayati Raj Deveopment activities, in Rura Deveopment, in Socia Justice and Empowerment, in the training of Government administrative functionaries, in providing certifiabe education to army, airmen and navy in the defense sector, in a these areas IGNOU has very meaningfu schemes fuy supported by the Government. The Community Coege scheme for ski deveopment and the Convergence scheme which permits optima utiisation of the state-of-the-art faciities of the best coeges and higher education institutions for enhancing the Gross Enroment Ratio (GER) have aso come into their own and have stabiised. Considerabe progress has been achieved in infrastructure deveopment both in the centra campus in Dehi and in a number of regiona centres in various States. This growth story of IGNOU in the Eeventh Pan is one of socia commitment with prudence. This success is attributabe to the pro-active participation of the teaching and non-teaching staff and the entire academic and administrative authorities of the University and the Ministry of Human Resource Deveopment (MHRD). Partnering the Government in various Pan schemes and aigning and streamining teaching and training activities with nationa priorities deineated by the Panning Commission in the Eeventh Pan heped the University to grow in the right perspective. We envision such a coaborative path in approaching the 12th Pan for incusive education, training and capacity buiding at a eves. (V.N. Rajasekharan Piai) Vice-Chanceor Profie 2011 5
