Education for All
FOREWORD
The Directorate of Distance & Continuing Education, originally established as the University Evening
College way back in 1962 has travelled a long way in the last 53 years. Nearly hundred thousands
students have passed through the portals of this great temple of learning. We may not have
numerous great tales of outstanding academic achievements but we have great tales of success in
life, of recovering lost opportunities, tremendous satisfaction in life, turning points in career and
those who feel that without us they would not be where they are today. There are also flashes when
our students figure in best ten in their honours subjects. In 2015 in the PG exam 27 students were
placed in Grade A and above. Besides 96 students were placed in Grade A and above under
management programs. In BA, B.Com. 546 students were placed in first in the year .Team DDCE
feels proud and vindicated with the success stories of its students. Our perspective students must be
free from despair and negative attitude. They must be enthusiastic, full of energy and confident of
their future.
We are miles away from our vision and mission. Education for all and Any time – Anywhere – Any one
Education are not mere slogans for us yet we alone cannot achieve a fragment of our goal without
the support of all our stake holders- the civil society, government, our own University- teachers,
administration and other facilitators and above all our students. We rededicate ourselves to our
vision and mission.
