Speaking virtually from Bengaluru on the launch of physical classes of the university he said that the demand for online and distance education system will increase in the coming days. It will be the government’s duty to educate students as per their terms and for bringing change.
“In this backdrop, the open university will be further strengthened and will be upgraded technically,” he added.
“Already a law has been enacted that only the open university should provide distance education in the State. The university will be set on the direction it was established for and the government would cooperate for this purpose in all manner,” he said.
