Dr Nirmal Jeet Singh Kalsi, former chairman of the National Council for Vocational Education and Training (NCVET), highlighted the importance of open universities sharing best practices and research findings to enhance the implementation of open distance e-learning programs. This sharing of knowledge enables open universities to better equip and empower individuals who lack access to traditional educational resources. Additionally, he noted that open universities have the advantage of developing and providing courses based on the immediate requirements of the learners, making it easier to meet their current needs on demand.
