Educational Certifications for Navy by IGNOU

In a milestone memorandum between the Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) and Indian Navy, both parties have decided to launch a programme under its community college scheme named 'Sagardeep'.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) seeks to confer educational certifications to the sailors of Indian Navy with the parameters laid down by IGNOU through its community college scheme recognising the 'in-service's training/courses undergone by them. Prof VN Rajasekharan Pillia, VC, IGNOU and MP Muralidharan, Vice Admiral signed the MoU at the conference hall, Kota House in Delhi. The pact combines synergies of both institutes and is hence named 'Sagardeep'.
