i) Programme Mission and Objectives
Missions and Objectives: The Himachal Pradesh University was established in the year 1970, and immediately after its
establishment, the Himachal Pradesh University took a bold step towards proliferation of knowledge and democratization
of educational opportunities by setting up the Directorate of Correspondence Courses in 1971. The University has played
a pioneering role in launching the programme of Distance Education at the Undergraduate and Postgraduate level. It was
the first to impart instruction at post graduate level in social sciences, humanities, commerce and teacher training through
the mode of distance education. Over the years, the Directorate of Correspondence Courses moved towards absorbing the
emerging philosophy of distance education and adopting multi-media approach to impart instruction.
Since its inception, the ICDEOL has been striving hard to serve the students who are otherwise deprived of higher
education. It has become a lighthouse of learning for persons of all ages and genders, particularly to such persons who,
for different reasons, cannot avail the higher course of studies as regular full time students. It aims to promote the holistic
development through academic excellence, employability, acquisition of analytical skills and higher research.
The ICDEOL aims to introduce B Com program under open and distance learning mode of education with a view to
provide opportunities to access to higher education. The motive is to develop managerial skills among the rural as well as
urban people. The courses are designed for all willing, qualified and working people who could not pursue the education
in regular mode. The need and aspirations of the youth in the region is one of the missions of the International Centre for
Distance Education and Open Learning (ICDEOL). It tries to encourage students’ enrolment from among weaker section
and even beyond the reservation limit.
The ICDEOL has developed an innovative programme of B.Com with emphasis on commerce, industry and trade.
The relevance of this program under ODL mode of education is to develop entrepreneurship skills in the hard
situation of the present days. The planning of this programme through ODL mode is compatible with the
programme already run in regular mode in Himachal Pradesh. The course, curriculum and syllabi are designed and
evaluated by a Departmental Committee with experts both from within and outside the University. The curriculum
and syllabi is then placed in the Board of Studies of Commerce and the faculty of Commerce and Management for
approval. The finalized curriculum and syllabi are then placed in the Academic Council and Executive Council for
the final approval and which proves as a major contribution in achieving the goals relevant to HEI’s mission and
goals. The course curriculum is completely revised periodically once every three years. Approval of Board of
Studies and Academic Council are obtained whenever modifications/additions are made in the existing curriculum
and syllabi.
The curriculum has been designed to fulfill the needs of diversified learners including rural people, low income group,
minorities and underprivileged. This curriculum will fulfill the needs of the special group learners in teaching and
management professionals. This programme is intended for aspirant professionals and students of rural background who
could not study in regular mode due to their financial problems, job commitments or who do not find an opportunity to
go for studies in regular mode due to the limitation of seats.
(iii) Appropriateness of programme to be conducted in ODL mode to acquire specific skills and
competence.
To reach the unreached is the sole aim of ODL system of education. The learners who could not upgrade their
educational qualification for achieving higher education, ODL system offers learners effective way to upgrade their
educational qualification and achieve higher education and career enhancement. B.Com Programme offers quality
education keeping in view the market requirements of human resource in the fields of business, trade and industry.
Besides their professional/ academic developments, this programme also reflects their occupational standards as they get
2
jobs/ promotions through this programme and develop manpower with specialized knowledge to cater the demand of
business in manufacturing and service sectors, to cater to the demand of local industries and organizations in the different
specialized areas and to develop skilled manpower for economic progress.
