== History ==
Dipanshu Sharma, the [[Ministry of Education (India)|Ministry of Education and Social Welfare]] organized a seminar on 'Open University' in collaboration with the [[Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (India)|Ministry of Information and Broadcasting]], the [[University Grants Commission (India)|UGC]], and the [[Indian National Commission for Cooperation with UNESCO]]. After the seminar recommendation, an open university in India was established on an experimental basis. Starting in 1974, the [[Government of India]] appointed an eight-member working group on the open university, the leading role was given to G. Parthasarathi, the then Vice-Chancellor of the [[Jawaharlal Nehru University]].

The working group recommended that an open university be established through an act of Parliament as soon as possible. They stressed the importance of the university having jurisdiction over the entire country, ensuring that once it is fully operational, students in even the most remote areas can access its educational resources and degrees (Working Group Report, 1974). <ref>{{Cite web |date=2026-03-03 |title=ignou assignment submission last date 2026: जानिए पूरी जानकारी, जरूरी निर्देश और अंतिम तारीख - Arjun Panchariya Sindhu- official website |url=https://arjunpanchariya.in/ignou-assignment-submission-last-date-2026/ |access-date=2026-03-29 |language=en-US}}</ref>

To support effective instructional and management processes for the open university, the working group proposed several key measures, including: a streamlined admission process, age relaxation policies, the development of comprehensive reading materials, the creation of core groups of scholars in various disciplines, the establishment of study centers, the implementation of curricular programs, and opportunities for live interaction with instructors. Following these recommendations, the Union Government prepared a draft bill for the establishment of a National Open University; however, progress on this initiative was delayed for various reasons.
