IGNOU launches new course in telecentre management

.....

Aimed at those who are already working in telecentres or interested in setting up one, the 10-module course will be first made available in English and Hindi and later introduced in other languages.

The course, according to IGNOU officials, will also be helpful to those interested in the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) for development.

A telecentre is a public place where people can access computers, the internet and other digital technologies that enables them to gather information.

The programme will be launched in collaboration with the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and Microsoft.
