Madurai, Oct. 28

Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has entered into a MoU with DHAN Foundation, a leading NGO here, to take higher educational opportunities to school dropouts in rural areas. The MoU facilitates an associate programme of IGNOU for the 13 community colleges run by DHAN Foundation, under which courses would be offered in computer application with fee concession. The programme would cover dropouts of Class X and Class XII and enable them to obtain a bachelor̵ 7;s degree in computer applications, preceded by a six-month bridge course for Class X dropouts. The course is likely to start by January 2009 and would benefit around 1,500 students, said Dr K. Paneerselvam, Regional Director, IGNOU. —
