Dr. Rizvi highlighted that IGNOU Srinagar has recorded an impressive enrolment of over 45,000 students in the 2024 – 25 admission cycles, spanning a wide array of academic programmes. The Chief Minister expressed satisfaction at the University’s growing footprint in the region and acknowledged its pivotal role in fostering educational equity and social empowerment.

A key point of discussion was the recent establishment of a dedicated Placement Cell at the Regional Centre. This cell is aimed at strengthening industry linkages and providing enhanced employment opportunities for IGNOU learners, particularly within the UT of Jammu & Kashmir. Dr. Rizvi emphasized that the Placement Cell would bridge the gap between academic training and industry requirements, ensuring better livelihood prospects for graduates.

Further, Dr. Rizvi announced a strategic collaboration with NIELIT Srinagar to implement digital skill initiatives under various government schemes. This partnership will enhance IGNOU’s curriculum by introducing advanced digital modules, encouraging research and innovation, and delivering IT and electronics training to underserved populations—contributing to the vision of a digitally empowered society.

In a major step toward academic expansion, the Regional Director also revealed plans to establish a Study Centre at the Central University of Kashmir for M.Sc. Science-based programmes. This initiative aims to support academic integration and provide local students with access to cutting-edge, need-based programmes. Additionally, a Work Centre at the Composite Regional Centre, Srinagar, will offer the PG Diploma in Rehabilitation Psychology, addressing a critical area in health education and inclusive care.

The Chief Minister welcomed these initiatives and commended IGNOU Srinagar’s commitment to youth empowerment, capacity building, and digital inclusion. He assured full support from the administration in facilitating IGNOU’s educational endeavours and strengthening its role in the region’s socio-economic development.
