Dr. S. B. Mujumdar was conferred Padma Bhushan in 2012 for his significant contribution to the field of Literature and Education by Her Excellency Smt. Pratibha Patil, President of India. In 2005, he was conferred Padma Shree by His Excellency A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, the then President of India for his contribution to the field of education.
Distance learning is the education of the 21st century. The traditional method of teaching in a classroom, called brick and mortar education, has failed to reach millions of those who are thirsty for getting knowledge, in an age marked by Knowledge Revolution. Distance education and open learning fulfill this need. Symbiosis, which is always on the vanguard of making bold innovations, has established Symbiosis Centre for Distance
Learning (SCDL) to offer different academic programs through distance education. The Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) is a centre of excellence offering quality distance education. I am sure those who aspire to acquire education at a time and place of their choice will be immensely benefited and will be qualified to fill posts of their choice with credit and confidence. I wish the Centre success.

Overview
Instructional design is the process of converting information into enriching learning modules, using established learning theories. It is a systematic process that involves analysing learner profiles and training needs, organising information according to established standards and creating learning plans and content to achieve specific goals. Traditional training methodology focuses on a predominantly one-way transfer of information. The theories of instructional design, however, focus on a result-oriented learning approach in which the users are able to achieve specific goals in a given environment. It is primarily used to develop computerbased and web-based content. The PGDID program provides basic theoretical and practical skills needed to design, deliver and evaluate courseware. Students explore the theories of Instructional Design through reading, viewing e-learning modules and practical applications. The program aims at the acquisition of professional qualification in Instructional Design as well as self-enrichment and improvement of job-related skills.

In recent years, there is an increasing demand for qualified personnels to work with young children, in pre-primary schools.

This program is designed to reduce the gap between the available and demanded competencies in this field. It equips teachers with the knowledge of various teaching aids and classroom management. The practice teaching session gives them practical exposure. This program is not only meant for candidates who aspire to teach at the Pre-Primary level, but also for in-service teachers in this profession who want to upgrade their skills and qualification. Knowledge of various aspects of child education is also perfect for mothers who want to teach their children at home. It gives a direction to those who would like to open a pre-primary school. This program aims to prepare individuals to: Understand the needs and cognitive development of children. Understand child psychology, especially that of young children in the age group of 3-6 years who would be stepping out of the familiarity of their homes for the first time. Recognise the healthy physical and mental developmental patterns in a young child. Decode a child's learning style, which is essential for ensuring that what is being taught within the classroom is absorbed by the child with minimum exertion.
