Background
India is a country that I can never figure out. As striking as the poverty and mismanagement was when I visited it this summer, I am continually struck by the stream of innovation and wonderful initiatives coming from institutions and individuals. I have written earlier about the open access to primary school textbooks in Hindi and English, the Open Source Fellowships workshop at SARAI, the Universal Library, and finally the OpenCourseWare initiative from the Indian Institutes of Technology on Youtube. I also gave a talk in Delhi on open education and open research for developing countries.
Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) is the national distance learning university in India, and has 1.8 million students, served through over 1804 Study Centres coordinated by 58 Regional Centres. On their website they state that they are the largest university in the world.
