Offers a two-year postgraduate diploma course
In a major attempt at bridging the gap caused by shortage of community cardiologists in the country, Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has proposed to train doctors in community cardiology, Vice-Chancellor H.P.Dikshit said.
Prof. Dikshit, who was at Chennai for a teleconference with the university coordinators of the southern zone, along with C.K. Ghosh, Director, Regional Services Division, said while cardiac problems were on the rise, the number of specialists was insufficient. The university would offer a two-year postgraduate diploma course for doctors in community cardiology. It would send course material to students. Two reputed medical institutions in Delhi and Bangalore would be the training centres. The course fee would be “reasonable.” The initial intake would be about 300 students. This would be increased next year. The need-based programme was launched in Delhi last month. The Vice-Chancellor said IGNOU had the largest network under Edusat in the country. At present, there were 131 interactive terminals throughout the country. The university had just created a central hub in Jabalpur for another network to reach the grassroots in primary schools.
Under the joint programme of IGNOU, ISRO and the Ministry of Human Resource Development, aimed at value addition and training of teachers, the backward districts of Sidhi in Madhya Pradesh, Daltanganj in Uttar Pradesh, Ara in Bihar and Koria in Chhattisgarh have been selected. The uniqueness of the programme was that these locations had no power supply and hence solar cells would be used.
The university’s Tamil and Bangla language channels were ready for launch. Plans are afoot to have a national repository on Edusat and the content in distance education would be on the server. As regards increasing the content material in the website, Prof. Dikshit said the content in the form of audio, video and print for MCA, MBA and some other courses would be available on Edusat network by February. During the teleconference, the coordinators expressed difficulties faced by candidates including delay in getting course material, hall tickets and declaration of results.
The other problems related to candidates not getting the assignment question papers in time. A coordinator said the honorarium for counsellors should be increased.
The Vice-Chancellor said the university would look into the issues raised.
