Brief Profile of the centre:
IGNOU and the Establishment of the Learner Support Centre (LSC) at Our College Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU), established in 1985 through an Act of Parliament, was founded with the vision of democratizing higher education by making it accessible, flexible, and affordable to all segments of society. As the world’s largest open university, IGNOU has been a pioneer in open and distance learning, offering a wide range of academic programs—from certificates to doctoral degrees—to millions of learners across India and abroad.
In alignment with IGNOU’s mission to reach the unreached and provide inclusive education, a Learner Support Centre (LSC) has been established at our college in 2021. The Code no of LSC is 2656.The rationale behind setting up this center is rooted in our shared commitment to community development, academic excellence, and expanding educational opportunities for students who may be unable to pursue regular full-time courses due to personal, professional, or geographical constraints.
Our college serves as an ideal location for an LSC due to its accessible infrastructure, academic environment, and dedicated faculty support. The LSC functions as a local hub for academic guidance, counseling, assignment submission, and examination facilitation, ensuring that IGNOU learners in the region receive timely support and resources to succeed in their studies.
Through this initiative, we aim to bridge the gap between distance learners and quality higher education, reinforcing our role in building an educated and empowered society.
