    academic, professional, vocational, awareness generating and skill-oriented programmes, diplomas and
    degrees (bachelors, masters and doctoral) with a strength of nearly 420 faculty members and academic
    staff at the headquarter and regional centres and about 36000 academic counselors from conventional
    institutions of higher learning, professional organizations, and industry; and has a network of 68 Regional
    Centers and 3200 learner support centres to support academic counselling of students. Besides national
    network coverage, some of the programmes are offered in 67 other overseas centers especially in Asia
    and Africa. Multi-Media learning through self-instructional illustrated print materials, audio cassettes,
    video programmes, phone-in radio counselling and teleconferencing form the package of delivery for
    distance education. IGNOU is the nodal point for Gyan Darshan, the educational TV channel, Gyan Vani,
