Profile of IGNOU Regional Centre Port Blair The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) was established, by an Act of Parliament in 1985. The IGNOU has 3-tier structure: HQ at New Delhi; Regional Centres at State Capitals; Study Centres at Colleges / Schools across the country / abroad. As Post-Tsunami development activity, the Regional Centre, Port Blair was started functioning from 27 th March 2006 at JNRM Campus. In the beginning, it offered 33 - academic programmes (Courses) for 1341 students, with only one Study Centre in entire ANI. Over this 13-years period, it reached the unreached population of remote/far away Islands too; that is, Campbell Bay (at South end) and Mayabunder (at North end). With significant reach, the Regional Centre has offered 100 varieties of academic programmes, to about 50,000 students, in the last 13-year period (2006-2019). Role of Extended Arm of Regular Colleges: The IGNOU-Regional Centre has been playing a significant role of extended arm of Regular Colleges in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The UG students passing out from JNRM/ANCOL/MGGC/DBRAIT have been provided to continue their PG (or) specialization PG diplomas within Island (need not to go to main land for the higher education purpose). The wide range of academic programmes, with 100 varieties of UG/PG/PG Diploma/Diploma/Certificate courses has given extended opportunity for college pass-outs here. The quantum in terms of students and wide range of academic programmes, with varieties of subject specializations offered by IGNOU is significant in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. It is comparable with the regular colleges (in Science/Commerce/Arts streams) of the region, in said period, in quantitative terms. Facilitating Andaman & Nicobar Islands Administration: Recently provided 30-trained Nurses, (after completing Govt. of India sponsored BPCCHN course of IGNOU) to Health Department, ANI Administration. Being a continuous process, another batch of 30-students is to be enrolled in July-2019 session. The IGNOU-Regional Centre-Port Blair is playing a significant role by providing qualified manpower to A & N Islands Administration. Education to Jail Inmates: After opening a special Study Centre at Prothrapur Jail, IGNOU provided higher education to 42-jail inmates, at free –of-cost. (Though the number is small, but it is highly significant). Saturday Video-Class: Pro-active steps have been taken to balance the scarcity of academic resource persons at Andaman & Nicobar Islands. One such step is organizing ‘Saturday Video-Class’ at Regional Centre using 204 CDs, w.e.f. 11 th November 2017. As an academic supplement, the IGNOU class at door step has also been provided through Gyandarshan #2: The Educational TV Channel of India-through Andaman Cable Network, as free-to-air 24x7 TV channel.

The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) was established, by an Act of Parliament in 1985.
The IGNOU has 3-tier structure: HQ at New Delhi; Regional Centres at State Capitals; Study Centres at
Colleges / Schools across the country / abroad. As Post-Tsunami development activity, the Regional
Centre, Port Blair was started functioning from 27th March 2006 at JNRM Campus. In the beginning, it
offered 33 - academic programmes (Courses) for 1341 students, with only one Study Centre in entire
ANI. Over this 13-years period, it reached the unreached population of remote/far away Islands too;
that is, Campbell Bay (at South end) and Mayabunder (at North end). With significant reach, the
Regional Centre has offered 100 varieties of academic programmes, to about 50,000 students, in the last
13-year period (2006-2019).
Role of Extended Arm of Regular Colleges: The IGNOU-Regional Centre has been playing a significant
role of extended arm of Regular Colleges in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. The UG students passing out
from JNRM/ANCOL/MGGC/DBRAIT have been provided to continue their PG (or) specialization PG
diplomas within Island (need not to go to main land for the higher education purpose). The wide range
of academic programmes, with 100 varieties of UG/PG/PG Diploma/Diploma/Certificate courses has
given extended opportunity for college pass-outs here. The quantum in terms of students and wide
range of academic programmes, with varieties of subject specializations offered by IGNOU is significant
in Andaman & Nicobar Islands. It is comparable with the regular colleges (in Science/Commerce/Arts
streams) of the region, in said period, in quantitative terms.
