Nainital : “The Uttarakhand Open University can play an important role in providing employment oriented education. We shall have to prepare the youth of the state technically for proper utilisation of the natural resources that are available in plenty within the state,” said Kumaon University Vice Chancellor VPS Arora as the Chief Guest on the occasion of the concluding ceremony, today, of a two day workshop on “The path to development of open and distant education in Uttarakhand,” held at the ATI.
”Immense possibilities exist in the field of agriculture, horticulture and tissue culture. A hub of seed production for agriculture in the hills can be established, but it requires skilled professionals and the Open University would certainly be of great help in this direction,” said Arora.
Prof Manjulika Srivastav, Director, Distance Educational Council, said that the main challenge before the Open University was to provide educational facilities to those who have been deprived of formal education. They had to be brought back on track by making available technical and practical education to the aspiring youths of the far-flung places.
