Indians are more intellectual than most from the developed countries. India's student-age population is one of the largest in the world. The Gross Enrollment Ratio of India in higher education is targeted from existing 12% to 30%. But, there are serious gaps leading to the decrease of exposure to the competent higher education systems. Such gaps can be bridged with the help of Open and Distance Learning, as it can be tailored to fit around the students' current life position. The Open & Distance learning at LPU is a flexible and dependable system of education enabling the knowledge to reach the door step of every section of the society. Its mission of 'Educating India Education World' aims to include wider dimensions of student centric and affordable learning approach. Hence, making it an important element leading to a transformed scope of India and beyond.
