Education is important for every individual in a nation. It plays a vital role in changing the state of a country's economy. No country can bring about a revolution in its society unless the people of its country are educated enough to meet the challenges of nation-building.

Today, in India the access to the higher education is limited only to 12% of the students in the college going age group of 18-23 years. The students belonging to socially disadvantageous classes of the society and those in remote areas have very limited representation in higher education. The University has committed itself to offer the opportunities of higher education to such students through the distance education mode.

Our objectives are to reach the unreached and provide educational facilities, to poorer and weaker sections of the society.

I, extend a very warm welcome to all our prospective students of Kalinga University, Institute of Distance Education.
