The Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), Mysuru has proposed to start study centres in all taluks and the regional centres in every district headquarters for the benefit of students, especially to those belonging to the rural areas, and expand its reach, disseminating information on the academic and research programmes and facilitating admissions.
“Our aim is to establish study centres and regional centres across the State. In this direction, the Minister for Higher Education has assured to consider the KSOU’s request and examine the possibilities of providing one or two classrooms in the government colleges for starting the study centres,” said Vice-Chancellor Sharanappa V.
