1.2. ESTABLISHMENT OF CENTRE FOR DISTANCE & ONLINE EDUCATION

Education is a continuous process and is not constrained/restricted to particular age. The system
of distance Education has emerged as an alternative to accommodate the growing needs of education in
the present modern world.

Distance education system fulfils the needs of all those who could not pursue a normal formal
college education system (or) who could not able to complete their studies due to financial
problems/others (or) to those who would like to improve their knowledge.

In order to enrich the hiCDOEn treasure of Sanskrit and to protect the importance and usefulness
of Sanskrit language and Literature, the Centre for Distance & Online Education (Erstwhile
Directorate of Distance Education) was established in the year 2003 with the financial support from
Distance Education council (DEC)/ Distance Education Bureau (DEB) / University Grants Commission
(UGC) for preparation of course materials and for students support ever since it has been actually
functioning under the aegis of DEC / DEB / UGC.

The Moto of CDOE

Tradition says - it directs, guides and teaches its off springs from a ‘distance’ through sight
without its immediate presence.
स्वापत्यानि यथा मत्स्यः वीक्षणेिैव पोषयेत् ।
दृग्दीक्षाख्योपदेशस्तु तादृशः कनथतः निये ।। (Kularnava Tantra, 14.36)
The Teacher in Distance Education is like the tortoise who directs guides and teaches the students
through self-learning material. What the student requires is the will to learn and perseverance like that
of Ekalavya who in spite of the absence of immediate presence of his guru Drona could master the skill
of archery.

Objectives of the CDOE:

The main objectives of Distance Education are:

(i) to facilitate the people to continue the higher education in Sanskrit who could not able to study
in regular colleges due to various reasons.

(ii) to facilitate the people with Sanskrit education with minimum expenditure with High Quality.

(iii) to facilitate the people to bring out their potential with respect to Sanskrit Lanauge and Literature
to accommodate themselves to meet the challenges in the modern world. With the above
objectives, R.S.Vidyapeetha introduced the Distance education in the year 2003 to spread the
Sanskrit language and literature beyond its campus and successfully marching towards the
completion of the Second Decade.
