As part of the state government’s commemoration of the 550th Parkash Purb of Guru Nanak Dev, the Punjab Cabinet on Thursday permitted the establishment of the Jagat Guru Nanak Dev Punjab State Open University in Patiala.
As stated by a spokesperson from the Chief Minister’s Office, Bill would be presented in the next session of the Vidhan Sabha for the establishment of Jagat Guru Nanak Dev Punjab State Open University in Patiala. Above decision to set up the open-university is aligned with the global shift in the nature of education, with more and more students doing online courses through distance education.
The main goal of the University is to provide educational opportunities to students having no or little access to regular higher learning institutes. The university would focus on equal opportunities in higher education for those who are in employment, women, housewives, adults and NRIs, who want to acquire knowledge or upgrade their qualification and studies through the Open and Distance Learning mode.
