Mysore/Mysuru: “Open University has catered to the needs of those who are deprived of higher education due to their inability to continue their education in colleges,” opined Prof. N.K. Lokanath, Vice-Chancellor (VC), University of Mysore (UoM), while speaking at a function to celebrate the Foundation Day of Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), organised at its Convocation Hall recently.
“Many have been deprived of higher education for various reasons. Open University is catering to the needs of such people for the last 27 years. It is said that at the time of starting the UoM, the erstwhile Maharaja of Mysore had wished that education should reach the doorsteps of all people. Distance education has fulfilled his wish,” added Prof. Lokanath.
