NIOS launches new programme to make learning accessible

Taking advantage of the growing penetration of the web, the 'Mukta Vidya Vani' programme will allow for participatory and cost effective educational content in the form of audio and video products.

Launched last month, it is a modern interactive, participatory and cost effective online programme, involving an academic perspective along with the technical responsibilities of production of audio and video programmes.

It is designed to enable a two-way communication with any audience having access to an internet connection, from the NIOS studio situated in Noida in the National Capital Region, according to NIOS.

This development spells a boon for learners under NIOS, who have displayed good performance at different levels and in competitive examinations.

"It was a matter of pride for the NIOS that 1,127 learners had qualified for counselling in AIEEE and 267 qualified for counselling in BArch and 9 learners qualified for counselling in the AIPMT exam," said NIOS chairman S S Jena.

The Mukta Vidya Vani initiative was launched last month during the 22nd general body meeting of the NIOS Society chaired by HRD Minister Kapil Sibal. MORE
