HP University Distant Education
The Himachal Pradesh University took the bold step right in the beginning for distant education and a Directorate of Correspondence Courses was set up after the establishment of the University (1971). Not only this, the University emerged as a pioneering institution in launching the programmes of distance education at the postgraduate level. In India, the H.P. University was the first University to start Master of Arts in different disciplines along with Master of Education and Master of Commerce. Now the Directorate of Correspondence Course has been re-christened as the International Centre for Distance Educational and Open Learning (ICDEOL). It is located on the Campus of the University at Summer Hill. It has its own independent complex consisting of two buildings having five stories each.
