Distance Education


Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth entered in to the field of Distance Education in 1985 with  the  establishment  of  Faculty  of  Distance  Education  (FDE ) with its institutional aim of promoting national education and nationalism,  faith  in  democracy  and  sense of civic responsibilities, through the curriculam of different Programmes, and with its faculty objective of reaching the unreached, the deprived section of our society. B.A. (Visharad) Social Sciences was the only Programme on offer till 2000.
        Though Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth was aware of the network and system of Distance Education in India and the world around, it was in the year 1991, when FDE appeared in the Directory of Distance Education in India, published by Association of Indian University (AIU) and Commonwealth of Learning (COL), FDE became part and parcel of this network. FDE Started interacting with other Open and Distance learning Institutions in India, which gave it an impetus for its development.
        The Development assistance provided by Distance Education Council (DEC) IGNOU, New Delhi,  in the 9th Plan initiated  a  new  stage  of  development  in  the history of FDE. With financial assistance received from  DEC  in IXth  and  Xth  plan, many  projects  could  be  undertaken, such as  Development of Study material , Launching of new programmes.  Translations of Study material, Study  Center  Development ,  Quality improvement , and  use of Technology .  According  to  the guidelines  given  by  DEC for  Impact Assessment a ‘Self Study Report’ and ‘Self Analysis Report’ was submitted to DEC,  IGNOU  New  Delhi  in  2003 – 2004. In this connection the DEC Expert committee  visited  the  Department On 6th – 7th October 2004, the team gave a satisfactory report about the visit.
         Tilak Maharashtra Vidyapeeth FDE has submitted a proposal for the approval of programmes to Distance Education Council, New Delhi, in June 2004. After visit of the Joint Committee of UGC,DEC and AICTE,in May 2011 the Vidyapeeth was accorded recognition for its several programmes.
