From The President’s Desk
Distance learning is the education of the 21st
century. The traditional method of teaching in a
classroom, called brick and mortar education, has
failed to reach millions of those thirsty for getting
knowledge, in an age marked by Knowledge
Revolution. Open and distance learning fulfils this
need.

Symbiosis, which is always on the vanguard of

making bold innovations, has established
Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning (SCDL) to
offer different academic programs through distance
education. Symbiosis Centre for Distance Learning
(SCDL) is a centre of excellence offering quality
distance education. I am sure those who aspire to
acquire education at a time and place of their
choice will be immensely benefited and will be
qualified to fill posts of their choice with credit and
Dr. S. B. Mujumdar confidence. I wish the Centre success.
