1.4 The Schools of Studies
With a view to develop interdisciplinary studies, the University operates through its Schools of
Studies. Each School is headed by a Director who arranges to plan, supervise, develop and
organize its academic programmes and courses in coordination with the School staff and different
academic, administrative and service wings of the University. The emphasis is on providing a
wide choice of courses at different levels.
The following Schools of Studies currently are in operation:

Institutes and Centres at the University, which have core academic staff, are also involved in
developing courses and academic programmes. They are:
Staff Training and Research in Distance Education (STRIDE)
Centre for Extension Education (CEE)
National Centre for Innovation in Distance Education (NCIDE)
National Centre for Disability Studies (NCDS)
Other Units/Centres of the University
1.5 Academic Programmes
The University offers both short-term and long-term programmes leading to Certificates, Diplomas
and Degrees, which are conventional as well as innovative. Most of these programmes have been
developed after an initial survey of the demand for such Programmes. They are launched with
a view to fulfill the learner’s needs for
certification,
self-enrichment,
empowerment.
1.6 Course Preparation
Learning material is specially prepared by teams of experts drawn from different Universities and
specialized Institutions in the area spread throughout the country as well as in-house faculty.
These materials are scrutinized by the content experts, supervised by the instructors/unit designers
and edited by the language experts at IGNOU before they are finally sent for printing. Similarly,
audio and video cassettes are produced in consultation with the course writers, in-house faculty
and producers. The material is previewed and reviewed by the faculty as well as outside experts
and edited/modified, wherever necessary, before they are finally dispatched to the students, Study
Centres and Telecast through Gyan Darshan.
1.7 Credit System
The University follows the ‘Credit System’ for most of its programmes. Each credit in our system
is equivalent to 30 hours of students study comprising all learning activities (i.e. reading and

teleconference and writing assignment responses). Thus, a 4 credit course involves 120 hours of
study. This helps the learner to know the academic effort he/she has to put in, to successfully
complete a course. Completion of an academic programme (Degree or Diploma) requires successful
completion of assignment, Practicals projects and the term-end examination of each course in a
programme.
1.8 Support Services
In order to provide individualized support to its learners, the University has a large number of
Study Centres, spread throughout the country. These Study Centres are co-ordinated by 60 Regional
Centres and Recognised Regional Centres. At the Study Centres, the learners interact with the
Academic Counselors and other learners, refer to books in the Library, watch/listen to video/
audio programmes and interact with the Coordinator on administrative and academic matters.
The list of Regional and Study Centres is given in this handbook. Support services are also
provided through Work Centres, Programme Study Centres, Skill Development Centres and
Special Study Centres.
1.9 Programme Delivery
The methodology of instruction in this University is different from that of the Conventional
Universities. The Open University system is more learner-oriented and the learner is an active
participant in the pedagogical (teaching and learning) process. Most of the instructions are imparted
through distance education methodology and face-to-face mode as per the requirement.
The University follows a multimedia approach for instruction, which comprises:
a) Self Instructional Written Material: - The printed study material (written in self-instructional
style) for both theory and practical components of the programmes is supplied to the learners
in batches of blocks for every course (on an average 1 block per credit). Each block which
comes in the form of a booklet usually comprises 4 to 5 units.
b) Audio-Visual Material Aids: - The learning package contains audio and video CDs which
have been produced by the University for better clarification and enhancement of understanding
of the course material given to the learners. A video programme is normally of 25-30
minutes duration. The video cassettes are screened at the study centres during specific
sessions which are duly notified for the benefit of the learners. The video programmes are
telecast on National Network of Doordarshan and Gyan Darshan. All Gyan Vani stations are
broadcasting curriculum based audio programmes. In addition, some selected stations of All
India Radio are also broadcasting the audio programmes. Learners can confirm the dates for
the programmes from their study centres. The information is also provided through the
university website.
c) Counseling Sessions: - Normally counseling sessions are held as per schedule drawn by the
Study Centres. These are mostly held during the non-working hours of the host institutions
where the study centres are located.
d) Contact Programme: - The University organizes contact sessions for selected programmes
to meet specific learners’ needs. This also gives an opportunity for face-to-face interaction

e) Teleconferencing:- Live teleconferencing sessions are conducted via satellite through
interactive Gyan Darshan Channels as well as simulated on ‘Edusat’ channel from the
University studios at EMPC, the schedule of which is made available at the study centres.
f) Interactive Radio Counseling (IRC):- Interactive Radio Counseling is a recent concept in
distance learning in India. Live counseling in provided on radio by the experts. Students can
interact with experts’ right from their homes on telephone. These sessions are conducted for
one hour. The complete details are made available with the Programme Centres. A toll free
telephone number 1800112345 has been provided for this purpose from selected cities.
g) Distance Learning Facilitator: - If the number of learners for a particular programme at
a study centre falls below 10 (ten) then usual counseling sessions will not be conducted. The
support services may be handled by a Distance Learning Facilitator (DLF).
h) Practical’s / Project Work: - Some Programmes have practical/project component also.
Practicals are held at designated institutions for which schedule is provided by the Study
Centres. Attendance at practicals is compulsory. For project work, comprehensive project
guide, in the form of a booklet, is provided to the student along with the study materials.
i) Practical Handbooks: - The practical handbooks are specially prepared for the students
who enroll for the programme and for the Resource Persons who are involved in the
programme. These handbooks provide the complete information and guideline about the
Practical Component of the Programme.
These handbooks further explain the role and responsibility of the learners and the Resource
Persons and other functionaries involved in the delivery of the programme.
1.10 Evaluation System
The system of evaluation in IGNOU is also different from that of conventional universities.
IGNOU has a multi-tier system of evaluation.
1. Self-assessment exercises within each unit of study.
2. Continuous evaluation mainly through assignments which are tutor-marked have to be
submitted for evaluation at the Programme Study Centres.
3. The Term-End Examinations.
4. Project Work which will be evaluated at Programme Study Centres and IGNOU Headquarter.
The evaluation of learners depends upon various instructional activities undertaken by them. A
learner has to write assignment responses compulsorily before taking term-end examination from
time to time to complete an academic programme. A learner has to submit TMA responses to the
Coordinator of the Study Centre concerned to which s/he is attached. A learner should keep
duplicate copies of assignment responses of TMA that may be required to be produced at SR&E
Division on demand. Term-end examination is conducted at various examination centres spread
all over the country and abroad in June and December.

2. NATIONAL CENTRE FOR DISABILITY STUDIES
(NCDS)
Disability is a perennial global phenomenon. More than 600 million populations in the world are
affected by physical, mental or sensory impairments. More than 400 million persons with disabilities
are concentrated in rural and inaccessible parts of developing countries like India, amidst appalling
poverty, isolation and frustration. If this projection is accepted as a yardstick to ascertain the
quantum of persons incapacitated by various disabling situations in our country, the problem
seems, to be of colossal magnitude. Over 100 million are conservatively projected to have been
in the grip of disability in some or other ways.
Numerous persons with disabilities are faced with a vast array of problems and barriers in their
routine lives which include physical, architectural, educational, employment, social adjustment,
discrimination and unhealthy attitude.
Against this background and in order to achieve the goal of universalisation of education and also
higher education (i.e., teaching, training, research, extension and good governance, as specified
by the IGNOU Statute,.), the National Centre for Disability Studies was established to undertake
plethora of academic, research, extension and awareness activities for empowering the persons
with disabilities and create a society that is friendly for them.
Objectives
To offer academic and research programmes through distance mode of learning on
multitudinous aspects of disability with interdisciplinary perspectives;
To develop human and material resources for promotion of teaching and research in Disability
Studies and allied areas;
To facilitate empowerment of the persons with disabilities by promoting capacity- building,
entrepreneurship development and vocational rehabilitation services;
To serve as a repository of official publications and documents of Government of India,
State Governments and other governmental and non-governmental (national, regional and
international) organizations / agencies;
To organize conferences, seminars, symposia and training workshops at national, regional
and international levels on issues of contemporary significance for persons with disabilities
and people who matter to them;
To publish monographs, journals, research studies, teaching and self instructional materials
as well as an Indian encyclopaedia on diverse aspects of Disability.
To promote and co-ordinate the teaching, research and extension programs on Disability in the
universities, national institutes and academic institutions of higher education within India and in
neighbouring SAARC countries.

Rehabilitation Council of India is a Statutory Body of Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment
set up by an act of Parliament in 1992 and charged with the responsibility of planning, developing,
and standardizing the quality of training for sixteen categories of Rehabilitation professionals
under its purview to meet the needs of the life span of persons with disabilities. This Act was
further amended in the year 2001 to widen the responsibilities of the Council to include:
Standardization of training courses for professional/personnel’s needed for the special
education or rehabilitation of persons with disabilities.
Regulation of training policies, programmes and standards in the field of Special Education
and Rehabilitation.
training of rehabilitation professionals.
Maintenance of a Central Rehabilitation Register (CRR) of all qualified persons in the
field of Special Education and Rehabilitation.
Under section 13 of the RCI Act, no persons, other than the rehabilitation professionals/ personnel who posses a recognized rehabili tation qualification and is enrolled on the Central Rehabilitation Register (CRR):
1. Shall hold office as rehabilitation professional or any such office (by whatever designation
called) in Government or in any institution maintained by a local or other authority.
2. Shall practice as rehabilitation professional anywhere in India
3. Shall be entitled to sign or authenticate any certificate required by any law to be signed or
authenticated by a rehabilitation professional;
4. Shall be entitled to give evidence in any court as an expert under Section 45 of the Indian
Evidence Act, 1872 on any matter relating to the handicapped:
The Act further states that those who act in contravention of any provision of subsection (2)
cited above shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year
or with fine which may extend to one thousand rupees, or with both.
In implementing its responsibilities, over the last decade and more, the Rehabilitation Council
of India has played a crucial role in offering a better quality of life for persons with disabilities.
The Council has developed numerous need based training programmes for special education and
rehabilitation of persons with disabilities. Further, RCI realized that in order to meet the huge
need for trained manpower in the area of special education in the country, the most viable option
was through the distance mode of education, because of its flexibility and wide coverage, and
thus extended the range of delivery of training by offering distance education courses.
Distance Education in itself is a growing field, as it offers the option of self study at the doorstep
of the student, along with the support and guidance of trained faculty at the Study Centres close
to home. It allows the student trainees flexibility of study hours and enables them to continue
to work and study at the same time. Moreover the system of distance education has the potential
to fulfill the enormous responsibility of universalization and democratization of education, as
it holds the promise of checking the falling standards at reasonable costs, making the optimum
use of media and technology and providing education relevant to the needs of the country.

13
began to collaborate with Open Universities to promote and implement Special Education training
programmes for the empowerment of a special target group of learners with disabilities.
3. MoU BETWEEN IGNOU & RCI
IGNOU is offering need-based Special Education Programmes through Distance Education Mode in
collaboration with Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI) within the framework of the Memorandum of
Understanding (MoU) signed between the two on September, 2007. Under the provision of MoU,
IGNOU has been recognized as the apex National Resource Centre for Special Education and
Rehabilitation programmes through Distance Mode.
IGNOU will collaborate with RCI in design and development of Special Education and Rehabilitation
programmes through Multimedia Distance Mode and will also facilitate delivery and certification of such
programmes.
PSYCHOLOGY (PGDREPY)
4.1 The Programme
The Post Graduate Diploma in Rehabilitation Psychology to be implemented through distance mode
is a collaborative programme of IGNOU and Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI).
Rehabilitation psychology is a specialty area within professional psychology which is meant for the
training of rehabilitation Psychologists assists the individual with an injury or illness which may be
chronic, traumatic and/or congenital, including the family, in achieving optimal physical, psychological
and interpersonal functioning. The focus of rehabilitation psychology is on the provision of services
consistent with the level of impairment, disability and handicap relative to the personal preferences,
needs and resources of the individual with a disability. The rehabilitation psychologist consistently
involves interdisciplinary teamwork as a condition of practice and services within a network of biological,
psychological, social, environmental and political considerations in order to achieve optimal rehabilitation
goals.
Rational of the Course:
Trained and qualified human resource continues to be a major constraint in spite of the continuous
efforts by the Rehabilitation Council of India (RCI). Till date the practitioners under various disabilities
registered with RCI are approximately 47 thousand only. For an assumed disability population of 1.85
percent (NSSO 2002), the available human resources in India are infinitely small. Further Rehabilitation
Professionals have to work on one to one basis as it requires close supervision, and many disabilities
have chronic course, which requires life long professional help.
Keeping the requirement of 2000-4000 psychologists under the IX & X Plan (Report on Manpower
Development, RCI, 1996), an attempt to augment the manpower in Rehabilitation Psychology through
Distance Education Mode is essential to create trained human resource to deliver services to persons
with disabilities.
According to the RCI Act (1992), any person who works as professional/personnel has to register with
RCI. Further the Expert Committee of the RCI for developing of training programme for sixteen
categories including Rehabilitation Psychologists/Rehabilitation Counsellors/Vocational Counsellors/
Rehabilitation Social Workers desirous of working in the area of disability expressed the opinion that

14
Bachlor’s or Master’s degree in Psychology, so that quality services as per the need of persons with
disabilities could be provided.
It is anticipated that there will be a good demand for this course, which is likely to grow with the
increase in population and the growing awareness of rehabilitation of persons with disabilities. It is
needless to add that the proposed course is a job oriented course which will benefit all who would like
to serve the disabled including those who are in service.
The programme has been designed in a such manner that it covers a wide range of psychological
assessment and intervention processes, which ultimately helps in assessing the needs as well as designing
the comprehensive rehabilitation strategy for persons with disabilities.
4.2 Programme Objectives
The broad objectives of the programme are:
To create a cadre of Rehabilitation Psychologists
To strengthen the professionals working in the field to disability to qualify as rehabilitation
psychologist.
4.3 Duration of the programme
The programme may be completed in 18 months (3 Semester of 6 months each): Each Semester will
have 2 theory courses and one practical course. A maximum of four and half years may be allowed
to complete the programme.
4.4 Medium of Instruction and Examination
The P. G. Diploma in Rehabilitation Psychology is offered by the university through the medium of
English and Hindi.At present printed course material and assignments are sent to learner in the medium
of English. Later on it would be translated in Hindi. Learner may submit the assignments and attempt
the term-end examination in both the languages.
