Distance learning has become quite popular in India. This is a form of education where students learn from a remote location, typically through the Internet. It is a popular option for students who cannot attend traditional schools due to factors such as geographic location, work commitments or family responsibilities.

Distance learning has been growing in popularity in India in recent years. The Indian government has been promoting distance learning as a way to improve access to education and to address the shortage of teachers in rural areas.

There are many different types of distance learning programmes available in India. Some of the most popular options include:

Online courses: These courses are delivered entirely through the Internet. Students can access the course materials and participate in discussions and activities at their own pace

Correspondence courses: These courses are delivered through the mail. Students receive printed materials, such as textbooks and workbooks, and they submit assignments by mail

Teleconferencing: This is a live video and audio conference between students and instructors. Students can participate in lectures, discussions, and group projects

Hybrid programmes: These programmes combine online and in-person learning. Students may attend a few classes on campus and others online

The cost of distance learning programmes in India varies depending on the programme and the institution. However, distance learning is generally more affordable than traditional education.
