Chairperson's Message

Chairperson

Dear learners,

Welcome to the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS), an institution dedicated to empowering individuals through flexible, accessible, and quality education. As the Chairperson, NIOS my overall vision thrives on transparency, accountability, technology integration and innovation into education.

In a landmark move towards inclusive education, NIOS has launched several initiatives aligned to the NEP 2020 for inclusive, accessible, and equitable education for all and supports the vision of the UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 (Quality Education). Building on our philosophy to support multilingualism, we have launched self-learning materials (SLMs) in 14 mediums at Secondary Level and 8 mediums in Senior Secondary Level with 20 Languages at Secondary Level and 14 Languages at Senior Secondary Level offered as Academic subjects. By offering SLMs in regional languages, NIOS addresses the linguistic barriers that many learners face, particularly those from remote and marginalized communities. SLMs are meticulously designed to support students who pursue education through the open schooling system, enabling them to study independently at their own pace.

We are proud to foster an educational environment that encouraged to explore, discover, and grow at their own pace, through On-Demand Examination System which is a special provision that helps the student to take up the examinations as per their level of preparation and convenience when they feels ready for the examination.

We aim to foster an inclusive, lifelong learning ecosystem with UL-LAS (Understanding Lifelong Learning for All in Society) scheme, to empower learners from all sections of society. Our target groups are school dropouts, women and girls, tribal and rural populations, persons with disabilities, workers in the unorganized sector. With our learner-centric approach, we continue to offer diverse and inclusive programs that cater to a wide range of academic, vocational, and skill-based needs to create a knowledgeable, skilled, and resilient society.

NIOS has launched self-learning materials (SLM) in Natya Kala, the classical art of dance and theatre, this initiative is committed to integration of India's traditional knowledge systems into mainstream education. The self-learning materials aim to provide an in-depth understanding of both theoretical and practical aspects. Designed to be user-friendly and accessible, these resources cater to learners across diverse age groups and backgrounds, encouraging them to appreciate and preserve the timeless art form and traditions.

As the Chairperson, I encourage you to explore the many opportunities from school education to vocational training and adult education. We are committed to provide flexible and holistic educational opportunities to empower individuals to learn at their own pace and pursue their unique dreams.

Best wishes to each learner. 

Professor Pankaj Arora
