The idea of establishing an Open University to offer quality education to the "much larger body of population, which remains outside the university system" was proposed as early as 1970 in a seminar organised by Government of India. Following the recommendation of the seminar, the Government of India appointed an eight-member Working Group, which recommended the establishment of an Open University. The Government of Andhra Pradesh established the first Open University, Andhra Pradesh Open University in August 1982 (renamed as Dr. B.R. Ambedkar Open University (BRAOU) in 1991) . The actual functioning of the APOU started during 1983-84 session. The union government made a policy statement for established of a National Open University in 1985. The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) came into being in 1985 by an Act of Parliament. IGNOU is one of the largest distance education networks in the world. Encouraged by the success of IGNOU and BRAOU, other states like Rajasthan, Bihar, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, West Bengal, Karnataka and Uttar Pradesh have established sate open Universities.
